Oegema Transport, an international transport company from Dedemsvaart, entered into a partnership with both WICS and Indicium in 2018. Oegema is one of the many joint customers where WICS supplies the Warehouse Management System, and Indicium provides the hardware. Thijs van Bergeijk (Process Coordinator) and Mike Schluter (Team Leader ICT) talk about this partnership on behalf of Oegema.

“Focus on transport, but expanding to warehousing”
Fred van den Boogaard is Business Consultant at WICS and took care of the implementation at Oegema Transport. About how the company from Dedemsvaart ended up at WICS he says: “Oegema is a large transporter and decided to focus on warehousing in addition to the focus on transport. This happened because they wanted to meet the demand that arose from the transport customers.” On behalf of Indicium, Systems Engineer Dennis Wols is responsible for, among other things, the scanners within Oegema Transport and an innovative solution was applied there. The transporter was namely the first joint customer where Indicium “put the WICS scan application in a modern jacket”.
Logistics expertise applied at Oegema
A major advantage of WICS, says Thijs van Bergeijk, is the expertise of WICS: “WICS looked at us and with the expertise of other customers, WICS indicated how the WMS was used by others.” Fred van den Boogaard adds: “Problems that Oegema is encountering for the first time, we have seen before. In a different context and in a different way, but we are familiar with it. And we would like to help with that.”
Choice WICS & Indicium
Finally, Thijs van Bergeijk explains the choice of the software and hardware supplier. “We have a fairly broad and variable logistics process, and within WICS and Indicium we can guarantee all of this. They can meet our customer requirements exactly.”
