Katoen Natie invests heavily in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). As a strategic option Katoen Natie has set up a team of ICT specialists to support its various business units. Software development is done in-house, as is setting up and maintenance of hardware and networks. This provides a flexible and cost-efficient operating environment, while enabling ICT applications to be tailored to suit business needs.

Katoen Natie has its own global network connecting the different locations around the world, to speed the flow of information. Interfacing with external customer systems (such as SAP) is common practice. Navision® has been chosen as the software environment for creating a scalable system able to service large, multi-customer operations and dedicated on-site terminals.

 

We closely follow the latest technologies in fields such as radio frequency systems, bar coding, hub connections and EDI, implementing those solutions that have proved their worth.

 

We recognize the crucial importance of ongoing investment in appropriate software and know-how.
