France is, next to Germany and Belgium, the Netherlands’ most important trading partner. At the same time, France is a difficult country for Dutch carriers, because of the largeness of the country and the cultural differences. Therefore a collaboration with French carriers with local knowledge and presence is necessary. Location(s) in île de France is a condition, other locations in France are highly desirable. A big network solution with partners is excluded. The client is looking for: - A commercial agreement; the French contract partner is responsible for last mileage delivery of high-end products on pallets. - A supplier agreement: the client is becoming the (preferred) representative of the French contract partner in the Netherlands. - Both companies remain independent. Far-reaching collaboration in IT-solutions is a must.
