CENTER TOS, our Terminal Operating System, is the dynamic alternative for multipurpose and dedicated container terminals. It boosts your port productivity by minimizing your cargo movements and reducing your carbon footprint. CENTER TOS supports job-controlled execution. Its advanced yard planning helps you to use resources more efficiently, and its BI solutions increase visibility for all activities.
Every two weeks, the entire system is upgraded ‘in a mealbreak’ (only 30 minutes). This reduces the risk of downtime at the terminal significantly and enables you to immediately respond to market changes and customer demands. We release updates every two weeks in your UAT environment, so you can test any new features before they are being deployed. With CENTER TOS you’re always up-to-date in no-time.
What we love most about our projects, is that we can really help you to connect your business anytime, anywhere. In the words of some of our clients:
Port of St. Maarten: “We look forward to continuing this great partnership and making a huge success of both the CENTER TOS and CENTER PMS implementations!’
Rotterdam Short Sea Terminals BV (RST): ‘One of the advantages of working with IT Partner is that they are able to provide us with new releases and updates on a regular basis, with almost zero downtime. For us, being the largest short sea terminal of Europe, it is crucial that we can do our job without any disruption. We can update our entire TOS within a meal break.’
IT Partner was founded in 1999 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. In those early days all the software solutions were custom made, for a specific customer with a specific need. By word of mouth IT partner gained more customers. New customers with other demands requested new functionalities to be added to the different solutions, and specific solutions were built that were fit for purpose.
In 2014 IT Partner changed the strategy, to start a more product oriented business. Instead of creating a solution per customer, a big investment was made to work on one solution, that covers all necessary functionalities within the terminal and port business. The CENTER SUITE was born. An off the shelf solution existing of separate modules which can be used independently, but with the flexibility that different businesses need to meet their demands.
Over the last years IT Partner has grown rapidly, developing from a small team with project specialists, to a company with 40 employees in three countries. In 2024, we celebrated our 25 years anniversary with our dear customers and partners.
IT Partner was founded by software developers Johan Beljaars and Rob Jordan. Our current CEO Dennis Brommert soon joined IT Partner, adding extensive expertise about container terminal planning.
In 2004 IT Partner started to deliver the Global Logistics System, a solution that enables terminals and logistics companies to run their complete operations, independent of size or cargo types. GLS could run as an independent solution or connect with other ERP/TOS systems.
IT Partner started developing CENTER, a new solution offering a multitude of applications, which was successfully launched at Rotterdam Short Sea Terminals in 2018. CENTER is configurable, cloud-ready, modular and scalable, with ‘upgrades in a mealbreak’ every two weeks.
In 2019 & 2020 we started our first businesses outside of the Netherlands. First, Caribbean Software Solutions was established on the island of Sint Maarten, focusing on supplying Port Community Systems in the region. The year after, VSH Tech was founded in a joint venture with VSH Holding, with an office in Suriname. VSH Tech mainly focuses on the logistical domain, supplying Warehouse Management & Freight Forwarding solutions.
Celebrating 25 years of connecting your business all around the world. This year, we added Loadmaster.ai to our group of companies, a joint venture with Supplai, focusing on the newest techniques using Artificial Intelligence. We’re looking forward to working with you in the next 25 years!
Over the last 25 years IT Partner has developed from a small service provider to a full-scale solution provider for Terminal and Port Companies. We are service-oriented, flexible, down to earth, solution driven innovators with plenty of experience in port logistics. When it comes to our values, we are committed to offering you sustainable solutions that minimize your cargo movements and reduce your carbon footprint. Most of all, we love connecting your business.
