What is at stake?

Eekels has been active in the maritime and offshore industry for over a century. The company provides maintenance and services in technical automation, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. The primary focus is on IT systems that can be seamlessly integrated with AV systems, enabling customers to connect their phones, laptops, and other devices. Brian Faerber has known Roland and Joerie since his very first day at Eekels, and when they founded Dutch IT Supplier, Eekels immediately came on board as a customer.

What made this challenging?

Every piece of equipment on board a ship must be connected to the IT network: AV systems, multimedia systems, CCTV cameras, and more. At the same time, Eekels’ customer base is highly diverse, with varying requirements and preferences. A supplier must strike the right balance between competitive pricing and high-quality products, and be capable of advising on the most suitable solution for each individual customer.

What does the collaboration look like?

Communication with Dutch IT Supplier is always efficient and effective, with short turnaround times and prompt responses. A simple phone call is all it takes to get things sorted. There is no need for lengthy procedures: lines are short and follow-up is immediate. That makes the collaboration smooth and reliable.

When did the added value become clear?

The added value of Dutch IT Supplier lies in the knowledge within the company. Eekels works with a highly diverse customer base, and Dutch IT Supplier understands the importance of meeting different customer requirements. Depending on the customer’s preference, they are always able to advise on the perfect fit. That combination of broad product knowledge and a customer-focused approach makes all the difference.

“Dutch IT Supplier stands out from other suppliers due to their personalised approach, promptness, and responsiveness. A simple phone call is all it takes to get things sorted out.”
