Reachable from wherever the work happens

Manufacturers, contractors, hauliers and car dealers rarely work behind a desk. We make sure customers can always reach the team, that employees on the road can access drawings, orders and job sheets, and that a lost phone doesn't become a data breach.

What the rules require

The rules and agreements around documents and data in this sector.

Wkb · art. 7:757a BW

The completion file

Since 1 January 2024, Dutch contractors hand over a consumer file at completion. With good document management, that file is ready without searching.

Cyberbeveiligingswet · NIS2

Requirements for industry and transport

Parts of manufacturing and the transport sector may fall under the Dutch Cybersecurity Act (NIS2). Clients who fall under it also impose requirements on their suppliers.

AVG · 72 uur

Customer data on phones

A lost phone with customer data can be a data breach you need to report within 72 hours. Encrypted devices with two-factor authentication limit that risk.

Throughout the year

In Dutch construction, the summer shutdown falls between mid-July and late August, depending on the region. In logistics and trade, the autumn run-up to the holidays is often busiest.

Questions from practice

What organisations in this sector ask us most often.

Can the breakdown line go automatically to the engineer on duty?

+

Yes. With time-based routing, a call outside office hours automatically goes to whoever is on duty, or AI customer contact takes the report.

How do we secure the phones of engineers and drivers?

+

With two-factor authentication, encrypted devices and clear agreements on what happens when a device is lost or someone leaves.

Do we need to keep the completion file digitally?

+

Under the Dutch Quality Assurance Act (Wkb), you hand over a consumer file. Keeping it digitally and well organised makes that easy, and a backup keeps it safe.

Do we need internet on the building site or in the warehouse?

+

For drawings, orders and calling via the app, a stable connection helps. We look at what's possible per location, from fibre to a mobile connection.
