24/7 supply chain visibility from origin to warehouse

air freight solution for businesses

airfreight for companies worldwide

You don't want to hear after the fact that a shipment has been delayed. You want earlier insight, the ability to switch gears faster, and better planning. With VDH FIT 2.0, you no longer work reactively, but predictably.

  • real-time insight into your chain
  • reliable ETAs for better planning
  • alerts for exceptions, so you can act immediately
  • dashboards that help your team maintain control

From reactive to predictable

You know the feeling: you only hear late in the day that something is deviating and then you have to improvise. That takes time, causes unrest, and often leads to extra costs. VDH FIT 2.0 helps you look ahead, so you can adjust earlier.

Insight before problems; you see deviations coming before they have an impact:

  • Action on exceptions; you work with alerts and tasks instead of separate emails
  • Data-driven decision-making; you manage based on facts, not gut feeling

What is VDH FIT 2.0?

VDH FIT 2.0 is a central platform for end-to-end supply chain visibility, from origin to warehouse. You can track shipments in real time, work with reliable ETAs, and gain immediate visibility into exceptions that require attention.

This way, everyone works from the same information and you can switch gears faster with less noise.

One central platform for overview and action

You want an overview without having to switch between different systems. You want to know where you stand, what is happening, and where you need to intervene. With VDH FIT 2.0, you work from one central platform that brings insight and action together.

Real-time tracking

You see where your shipment is and which milestones have already been achieved. This provides peace of mind in your planning and clarity for internal teams.

Reliable ETAs

You plan with more certainty because you don’t just look at status updates, but also at a predicted arrival time that helps you make choices.

Exceptions, alerts, and tasks

If something deviates, you receive an alert and can convert it into a task. This makes follow-up concrete and prevents important signals from getting stuck in an inbox.

You work with documents in one place and manage via dashboards that provide insight into performance. Less searching, fewer ad-hoc questions, more control.

Why this works at Van der Helm

VDH FIT 2.0 is not separate from the operation. The platform aligns with how we collaborate daily in the chain, with teams that can act when necessary.

While the human approach at Van der Helm always comes first, we find one thing even more important: that you know where your shipment is at any given moment. Even when we are temporarily unavailable, the phone line is busy, or your regular contact person is in a meeting. With VDH FIT 2.0, you always have insight and control yourself, without being dependent on a status update via email or phone.

In-house IT

We build and improve the platform ourselves, allowing us to respond quickly to your needs. New functionalities and optimizations are implemented immediately, without being dependent on external parties.

In-house customs

You work with a partner who understands compliance through and through and is always up to date with the latest regulations. This allows us to switch gears quickly and prevents delays or risks in your logistics process.

Own warehouses

You link visibility directly to execution in our own warehouses. This ensures shorter lines of communication, more control, and the ability to adjust quickly if the planning changes.

Action in the chain, not just insight

You don’t just see what is happening in your supply chain, but can also act immediately. Together with our teams, you actively manage exceptions and maintain control over the process.

Impact you notice in your operation

With VDH FIT 2.0, you work with less manual labor and fewer status inquiries, which provides peace of mind and an overview in your daily management. At the same time, you reduce failure costs and prevent unnecessary urgent solutions, keeping you in better control of your expenses. Because you manage based on reliable data and clear trends, you make better strategic decisions. And you’ll notice it immediately with your customers: higher delivery reliability and communication that is proactive and clear, which builds more trust.
