HelloContainer was founded by three entrepreneurs with different areas of expertise, all sharing the same passion; the passion for market transparency. Together they developed HelloContainer; a full-service booking platform for FLC. The complete process of booking containers is digitized, saving many hours of booking time and minimizing errors in the process. Kees Koopman, CEO of HelloContainer explains why they see value in partnering with, what could be a competitor, Riecon. “Besides the fact that Riecon and we share the same beliefs, Riecon adds reach to our proposition.
To really make a difference in the more traditional world of shipping containers, organizations like us need critical mass. Not just to be cost-effective and price-competitive. Particularly to be able to make the impact on the planet that we strive for.”
The ink is barely dry under the partnership and the 1st customer is already connected. When asked what they expect from this collaboration, they both answered simultaneously, “Together we connect much better to market demand and can realize even more efficiency and ease of use for our customers.
