Tackling it together
In this article...
In this article, you will discover the main benefits of Logistics via bol and learn more about the experiences of partners Jasper van Dijk from Under the Belt and Jochem Hes from Naïf.
Flexibility for the customer and yourself
With bol's logistics services, you not only offer flexibility to customers, but you also make things easier for yourself! Entrepreneur Jasper van Dijk has been running Under the Belt since 2015 and joined bol as a partner in 2020, after which his sales took off: 'I thought, let me just give it a try, and before I knew it, I was packing underwear late into the night.' With this growth, it's a logical next step for him to outsource a larger part of his logistics to bol. Exactly as Naïf already does. Jochem explains: 'We handle the logistics part together with bol. We truly collaborate, and it works great. There's much more possible than entrepreneurs think.'
Tackling sustainability together
Sustainability is the new reality. That's why bol wants to do better every day, together with partners and suppliers. Significant steps have already been made in recent years, and as little packaging material as possible is used. For example, 100% of cardboard waste is recycled, and 75% of packages are shipped without filler material. Also, since 2022, all bol cardboard boxes have been climate-neutral certified via the Climate Neutral Standard.
Sustainability is also high on the agenda for partners. Jasper indicates that the use of plastic at Under the Belt is greatly reduced. 'I work a lot with recycled raw materials and, as an entrepreneur, I feel responsible for sustainable business practices. bol shares that commitment. That's a very positive development.'
Sustainability is also important for Naïf. Jochem feels a sustainable connection with bol. 'bol is doing well. You can see that in their packaging policy, but also because there's a separate 'sustainable' category on the Partnerplatform, to which they give a lot of attention.'
Increase your chances of winning the buy box
With Logistics via bol, you can easily ensure that customers who place orders before 11:59 PM can often receive their order the very next day. Your items are also enriched with the bol Select label, which allows customers to benefit from (sustainable) delivery options such as delivery to a bol pick-up point. This creates a better delivery proposition and increases your chances of winning the buy box. And with that, you give your visibility and sales a significant boost.
For Naïf, bol has become an essential sales channel. 'Since the partnership with bol, we have grown 10 times larger – and we continue to grow! Our mission is to make the world of personal care more sustainable, and I believe bol will play a very important role in that.'
