Reachable Buyer Map

Prepared for Sophie Mollee · BTV · August 2026
Here is the map. A group with three ventures inside it sells three different things to three different seats in the same supply chain: the sensor, the connectivity underneath it, and the visibility service on top. This page covers where those seats sit across northwest Europe, who signs in each segment, and roughly how many companies are in each band. It describes the market rather than your business, and there is nothing to buy at the end of it.
Logistics service providers and third party logistics
The operators who move and store other people's goods, and the segment most likely to already run a telematics stack of some kind. They buy visibility when a customer asks for it in a tender, which makes their buying trigger somebody else's contract renewal.
Who signs: chief operating officer, director of operations, innovation or digitalization lead, IT manager, key account director.
4,000 to 6,000
transport and logistics companies at 50 or more staff across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
Manufacturers running returnable transport assets
Automotive, industrial and fast moving consumer goods plants that own pools of crates, racks, pallets and containers and quietly write off a share of them every year. The loss is real, it is already measured somewhere in the business, and it is almost never owned by one person, which is what makes the sale slow and the payback obvious.
Who signs: supply chain director, packaging or returnable asset manager, plant logistics manager, procurement lead, continuous improvement manager.
12,000 to 16,000
manufacturers at 100 or more staff across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany
Food, fresh produce and cold chain
The segment where sensor data is evidence rather than insight, because a temperature record settles a claim. Dutch and Belgian exporters run short, dense, high value chains with a lot of handovers, and every handover is a place where responsibility is currently argued about after the fact.
Who signs: supply chain director, quality assurance manager, cold chain or transport manager, food safety lead.
3,000 to 5,000
food, agri and fresh produce companies at 50 or more staff across the Netherlands and Belgium
Pooling, rental and load carrier operators
Small by count and unusually valuable, because these companies own the asset base rather than borrow it. One agreement covers an entire fleet of carriers instead of one customer's flow, and their whole commercial model depends on knowing where the pool actually is.
Who signs: managing director, fleet or pool manager, chief technology officer, head of operations.
150 to 300
pooling and load carrier rental operators across Europe; deliberately a narrow, high value list rather than a volume segment
Retail and wholesale distribution networks
High volumes of roll cages, crates and dollies circulating between distribution centers, stores and suppliers, with shrinkage treated as a cost of doing business rather than a solvable problem. The buyer here is used to funding logistics technology and used to running a proof before committing.
Who signs: head of supply chain, distribution center operations director, logistics technology lead, procurement manager.
1,500 to 2,500
retail and wholesale groups at 250 or more staff across the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany

Where the openings are

1
The company that owns the load carriers is rarely the company that moves them. The loss lands on the owner and the data lives with the operator, so whichever of the two you approach first decides which business case you are even allowed to make. Working both sides of that split deliberately, with different messages, is the single biggest widening available on this page.
2
Three ventures, three buyers, one account. Hardware is bought by engineering and operations, connectivity is bought by IT and procurement, and the service on top is bought by the supply chain director who carries the loss. Same company, three doors, and usually only one of them open at a time. A channel built on named roles can knock on all three without waiting for a referral inside the account.
3
European built and European hosted is a procurement filter, not a marketing line. There is a defined and growing set of buyers who have written data location and supply origin into their tender documents. Those organizations can be identified before the first message rather than discovered halfway through a sales cycle, which turns a very large market into a much warmer and much smaller list.
Built from public market data covering northwest Europe, counts banded deliberately. Company counts describe registered entities rather than groups, size bands come from published statistical classes, sector codes are self-reported, and asset ownership is not recorded anywhere public, so the split between owners and operators is described rather than counted.
