Rail freight expansion Schavemaker is actively developing railway freight services after acquiring a second rail terminal, presenting a sales opportunity to position them for end-to-end multimodal solutions that leverage rail to improve transit times and reduce road congestion for customers with cross-border or long-haul needs.

European end-to-end As a family-owned, multi-modal logistics provider with a broad European footprint, Schavemaker can be pitched as a reliable partner for complex, door-to-door supply chains that require coordination across modes, helping customers consolidate shipments and simplify vendor management.

Mid-market focus With 51-200 employees and revenue in the 50–100 million range, Schavemaker sits in a scale where mid-market shippers seek cost-efficient, responsive logistics partners; upsell opportunities exist in integrated services such as project cargo, temp-controlled transport, or seasonal peak handling.

Digital efficiency Schavemaker’s tech stack includes WordPress, Shopify, Google Cloud, and modern web standards, indicating openness to digital collaboration, customer portals, and API-enabled workflows; offer enhancements like API integration for real-time visibility, automating quotes, and digital freight forwarding.

Sustainability angle Rail freight development signals a sustainability focus; position opportunities around carbon reduction targets, modal shift strategies, and sustainability reporting to align with customers’ ESG goals and achieve longer-term contracts with favorable terms.
