"Taking the pressure off in fulfilment is the key focus"

Interview with Sjoerd van der Kolk, owner and co-founder of Port of Brands

More with MoreStorage: we could say it ourselves, but we’d rather let our customers speak for themselves! This week: Sjoerd van der Kolk, owner and co-founder of Port of Brands, on the partnership with MoreStorage.

From bulk orders to Black Friday promotions: specialists in speed

Port of Brands (comprising Portofbrands.nl | 7TEEN8 B.V. | JamesWatch.nl) is an organisation serving third parties that operate on a campaign-based model.

From prize draws and one-off gifts for new contracts to bulk orders: they ensure that customers receive their deliveries quickly and reliably, from their office in Scheveningen.

“Our focus is on the business market, and we supply companies that typically operate on a campaign-driven basis. Think of major campaigns such as Black Friday promotions or specific, temporary offers,” explains Sjoerd. “Our success depends on speed and flexibility, and that is where MoreStorage has become a strong partner.”

The challenges of rapid growth in fulfilment

“There were growing pains at the start of our partnership,” admits Sjoerd. “During the Covid period, we often only called each other when something went wrong. But together we’ve continuously optimised the processes: from automation to peak management, it all works now."

In our line of work, it’s essential to be able to adapt quickly. “For us, reliable partners are indispensable. Whether it’s using historical data to predict peaks or handling ad-hoc actions: MoreStorage thinks flexibly and helps us along the way.”

"Port of Brands has been working with MoreStorage right from the start!"

MoreStorage is the perfect partner for us

Port of Brands has been working with MoreStorage since day one. The biggest advantage? Complete peace of mind. “The work that MoreStorage takes off our hands means we can focus entirely on our customers,” explains Sjoerd. “For us, it’s not about saving costs, but about trusting a partner who simply manages the process well.”

More from MoreStorage – Here’s how we do it:

• End-to-end fulfilment: "From receiving stock to delivering to customers – we handle returns ourselves."
• Flexible solutions: "dropshipping orders alongside bulk orders, for example during peak periods."
• Tailored communication: “What makes the difference are the short lines of communication and clear agreements.”

Growth, in part thanks to a reliable fulfilment partnership

"Thanks to MoreStorage, we can focus on what really matters: our customers. Whether it’s handling hundreds of orders during a busy period or maintaining a reliable foundation during quieter times, we know everything is under control."
