VT Verkerk Transport

VT Verkerk Transport in Alphen aan den Rijn is a medium-sized logistical service-provider in the cities of Western Holland. The company was established around seventy years ago with a horse and carts. Since then, the company has expanded into an internationally active enterprise with more than 100 vehicles on the roads and around 35,000 m2 of storage area. VT Verkerk Transport is primarily active in the Benelux, Spain and Germany. "We transport everything, including paper, bicycles and ink etc", said Leen de Haan, head of financial administration. "Alongside transport, we also take care of storage and order-picking in the Warehouse."

 

Reliable payslips

"We have been using Grant Thornton’s salary administration for quite some time now. We are very satisfied with it because the quality of the work provided is excellent. They create a reliable payslip on the basis of our information. We have about 170 employees who all work very hard. They must be able to rely on their salaries being paid on a fixed date as this prevents unrest within the company. Since I have been working here, Grant Thornton has never let us down. The price/quality ratio is also excellent."

 

Online payroll and personnel administration

"Together with Grant Thornton we have linked the Unit 4 salary package to the Excel programme time saving. It saves us a great deal of time now that everything is automated. We enter the variables in ‘time saving’ and, once it has been exported, it appears on the payslip, courtesy of Grant Thornton. The organisation of salary calculation and payment used to be an extremely time consuming operation. The payslips now arrive, via e-mail, within a few hours of the digital exchange of information and can then be checked. We are now also going to further expand the HR function in the system."

 

Pro-active and cooperative

I have one, fixed contact within Grant Thornton. I always find that he is easy to get hold of and, if he is not available, a good back-up has always been arranged. Above all, Grant Thornton has excellent business knowledge. If anything changes in the collective labour agreement or law that is relevant to us it is immediately processed in our salary programme or the appropriate advice is provided. I find that Grant Thornton is very pro-active and cooperative in this area."

 

"In short, we are very happy with them. Other agencies call me on a regular basis but I certainly have no intention of changing."
