Home  > HortiLogics > Our story​​​​

HortiLogics is worldwide active, while being strongly rooted in the Netherlands, the cradle of high-tech greenhouse horticulture and a breeding ground of innovation.

Our mission is to realize streamlined, future-proof internal logistics in greenhouses and packing halls within a market that places increasingly higher demands on efficiency, punctual deliveries and specifications that must be met.

The extensive worldwide network and presence of Royal Brinkman ensure that HortiLogics is always close to its customers and to local parties that contribute to the realization and system maintenance. Our service contracts are based on planned (preventive) maintenance by local specialists, 24/7 emergency service and spare parts management. Where possible, we work with our own engineers or certified local partners who are available on call.

Market challenge
International horticulture is facing major challenges. Increasing in scale, delivery- and quality guarantees, food safety and traceability place high demands on primary producers and their business processes. HortiLogics believes in strong, data-driven fresh produce chains, in which partnership and transparency are decisive factors for success and good returns. The turnkey approach makes HORTILOGICS unique: integral knowledge, data management and robotised systems, all through a single point of contact, one contract and one service-level agreement

Our promises
HortiLogics is your full-service partner that unburdens horticultural producers worldwide with turn-key solutions for automated, data-driven internal logistics. We handle it all, from crop recording, harvest forecasts and internal transport to sorting and customer-specific packing. The turn-key approach makes HortiLogics unique: integral knowledge, data management and robotized systems, all through a single point of contact, one contract and one service-level agreement.

Future proof
HortiLogics believes in smart, data-driven solutions and the growing added value of robotics and artificial intelligence for horticultural producers and logistics partners in fresh produce chains. Connectivity does not end with tracking & tracing and remote sensing, but also involves a growing flow of data exchange and data traffic within and between businesses. Based on this vision, HortiLogics provides user-friendly and future-proof solutions that are scalable and easy to expand and link to other (automated) systems.

Experienced project management
Early involvement in new construction or renovation results in correct choices and an efficient process. HortiLogics targets to be involved in applications at the earliest possible stage. Our experienced project managers develop requirements and wishes into complete and concrete specifications, coordinate the implementation with external and internal parties, evaluate the progress and handle the service contract after delivery.
