Rail-Flow & Simply Deliver merger – Expanding Europe’s Leading Rail and Intermodal Transport Management Platform.
We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in Rail-Flow’s journey: Simply Deliver B.V., our long-standing technology and sales partner, is now officially part of the Rail-Flow Group! This strategic move strengthens our position as Europe’s leading digital platform for rail and intermodal logistics.
Two Strong Partners, One Vision
For years, Rail-Flow and Simply Deliver have worked closely together, particularly in the intermodal sector. Our complementary solutions have enabled customers to manage logistics processes seamlessly from the first mile to the last. The merge of Simply Deliver into the Rail-Flow Group is the logical next step: uniting our offerings, scaling our development, and delivering even greater value to our customers.
Simply Deliver Remains a Strong Brand – Now Part of the Rail-Flow Family
Simply Deliver, headquartered in Rotterdam, will continue to operate as an independent brand within the Rail-Flow Group. Its focus on visibility, automation, and customer portals for road-based logistics—especially in the Benelux region—remains unchanged. At the same time, both companies will benefit from shared expertise and resources, creating a unique digital ecosystem that spans rail, road, and intermodal transport.
A Unified Platform for Rail & Intermodal
One of the key highlights of this integration is the merging of Rail-Flow’s Rail TMS and Simply Deliver’s Intermodal TMS into a single, unified solution. This new platform will provide customers with a seamless experience for managing both pure rail and intermodal transport chains. It combines the best features of both systems, offering enhanced process coverage, real-time visibility, advanced automation, and modular functionalities tailored to individual needs.
A Strong Team with Unified Leadership
All existing locations and teams—including Frankfurt, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Izmir, Manila and Brisbane—will remain fully operational. The Rail-Flow Group will now be led by a unified leadership team: Dominik Fürste and Osman Akdemir as Co-CEOs, Marcel Hoeke as CFO, Dr. Alexander Below as CPO, Pablo Girardi as CTO, and Frank Erftemeijer as Partner. With 170 employees, we are combining the expertise and dedication of both teams to drive innovation and deliver exceptional service across Europe.
Benefits for Our Customers
The merge brings clear advantages for all Rail-Flow and Simply Deliver customers:
- Enhanced Capabilities: Broader process coverage and more powerful automation tools through combined expertise.
- Faster Development: Shared resources accelerate product development and the rollout of new features.
- Increased Innovation: Greater capacity to integrate cutting-edge AI technologies, significantly boosting customer value.
Shaping the Future of Logistics Together
Our mission remains the same: to deliver customer-centric innovations and market-leading solutions for rail, road, and intermodal transport. Together, we are shaping the future of logistics with a unified vision and a strong foundation.
