Flower transport management system
Retrack TMS came out of twenty years of moving flowers and vegetables out of Aalsmeer, Naaldwijk and Rijnsburg. The parts other systems treat as edge cases — trolley balances, empty returns, a delivery window measured in minutes — are the parts this one was built around.

Why flower transport breaks generic software
Most transport systems assume a load goes out and paperwork comes back. Flower logistics does not work like that. Every delivery leaves equipment behind, every customer holds a running balance of trolleys and buckets that belongs to someone else, and the clock that matters was set by an auction hours before your driver started.
That creates work a generic TMS has no field for. Someone has to know how many Danish trolleys are standing at each address, which of them are due back, and whether a customer's deposit is being held against equipment that was collected three weeks ago. Done on paper or in a spreadsheet, it quietly leaks money.
Retrack TMS treats that as part of the job rather than an afterthought. Outbound routes, empty collections, deposit balances and delivery windows sit in the same system, so the planner sees one picture instead of reconciling three.
Built for how flower transport actually runs
The parts of the day that generic transport software leaves you to solve yourself.
Trolley balances per customer
A live count of what is standing at every address. Drivers log each return on the app, so the balance is current rather than reconstructed at month end.
Deposit and bucket tracking
Standard buckets are tracked from delivery to return, so customers get their deposits back without anyone chasing paperwork.
Auction-driven planning
Routes are planned backwards from the delivery window, not forwards from the depot, so the timings that actually bind the day come first.
Empty collection routing
The system schedules pickups for equipment that is due back and puts them on a route that is already going that way.
Dock and time-slot booking
Each order gets a dock and a slot, so drivers are not queuing at a box door while their next window closes.
Digital CMR at the drop
Signatures and proof captured on the driver's phone, in the office instantly, with the equipment movement recorded on the same document.
Where our customers are
Amplus IT is in Leidschendam, inside the triangle formed by the auctions at Aalsmeer, Naaldwijk and Rijnsburg. That is where a large share of the Dutch flower and plant trade moves, and where most of the hauliers serving it are based.
It matters more than a postcode. When a planner calls about a box that will not clear before a customer's cut-off, or about trolleys stuck at an address in the Westland, they are not explaining the industry from scratch. We support cross-border routes into Germany and Belgium from the same system, in English, Dutch and German.
What changes when the equipment is tracked
The gains show up in the parts of the operation nobody budgets for.
No month-end reconciliation
Trolley and bucket counts are current every day, so the argument about who owes what does not happen at the end of the quarter.
Collections ride existing routes
Equipment that is due back is picked up by a truck already heading that way rather than by a van sent out specially.
Customers stop losing money on packaging
Tracked returns mean deposits come back to your customers, which removes one of the most common sources of friction on the account.
Built by people who ran these routes
The details that only surface after years of auction deadlines are already in the product, not on a roadmap.
Questions from flower and plant hauliers
Does it handle Danish trolleys and CC containers?
Yes. The system keeps a running count of trolleys at every customer address, and drivers record each return in the mobile app as it happens. Customers also receive a weekly balance by email, which is usually what stops disputes before they start.
Can it plan around auction cut-off times?
Yes. Routes are built around your delivery windows rather than depot convenience, so the constraint that actually governs the day drives the plan. When something slips, you replan in minutes instead of starting the board again.
What happens to empty packaging?
The system knows what is due back and schedules collections onto routes already passing the address. Drivers log what they load, and the movement is recorded on the same digital CMR as the delivery.
We also carry non-floral freight. Is that a problem?
No. Retrack TMS runs mixed operations — flowers and plants alongside food, retail, building materials or general palletized freight — from one planning board. The flower-specific handling is there when a load needs it and out of the way when it does not.
Do drivers need special equipment?
No. An ordinary smartphone. The app carries the route, sends location back in real time, and captures signatures and equipment movements at the drop.
