Pharmaceutical Logistics Provider, VTS Elevates Logistics with Zebra Technologies’ Connected Frontline Solution

Upgrading its fleet technology with rugged mobile computers and software from Zebra helps VTS prepare for the future

BOURNE END, England – 4 March, 2026 Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global leader in digitising and automating workflows to deliver intelligent operations, today announced that VTS Transport & Logistics, a leading pharmaceutical logistics provider, has elevated service quality for customers with a connected frontline solution by Zebra.

Based in the Netherlands, VTS works with leading pharmaceutical companies throughout Europe, providing specialised temperature-controlled transport, storage and handling with precision and safety. It operates across sites in the Netherlands, Belgium and Poland with a fleet of more than 325 trucks and trailers and over 60,000 m2 of storage capacity.

With a growing delivery network, VTS’s previous on-board computers proved inflexible and unreliable, creating challenges for frontline workers and the IT team.

“Our drivers, warehouse staff and IT teams all depend on consistent, stable technology,” said Nick Lenting, Director of IT Projects, Innovation and Strategy, VTS. “We needed a modern, unified platform that could meet the demands of both regional and international logistics. We wanted to support drivers and warehouse staff with reliable tools that streamline workflows, improve accuracy, reduce downtime and integrate seamlessly with our logistics software platform.”

To achieve these goals, VTS worked with Actemium, a Zebra Premier Solution Partner recognised for its logistics automation expertise. Actemium deployed the connected frontline solution including Zebra’s TC2X Series mobile computers and ET4 Series rugged tablets.

“In logistics, each stage in the supply chain is a moment of truth, with the smartest operations built on software, hardware, expertise and trust,” said Phil Sambrook, Transport and Logistics Vertical Strategy Lead EMEA, Zebra Technologies. “We create trust by giving workers reliable and intuitive tools that connect and support them inside and outside the four walls.”

With Zebra’s solution, VTS drivers can now scan packages and confirm locations and deliveries in real time, reduce paperwork and complete tasks faster. In addition, improved device uptime has led to reductions in costly downtime and closed gaps in service provision.

VTS’ IT team is also benefiting from time savings and reduced strain with centralised remote device management and updates carried out via Zebra DNA Cloud software.

“Thanks to the uniform setup, we no longer worry about fragmented devices or inconsistent configurations,” said Lenting. “With the right solution and guidance, we have been able to integrate our systems and now have a solid foundation for efficient and sustainable logistics processes.”

The solution also supports VTS’s ambitious CO₂ emissions reduction and net zero goals, with more efficient route management, fewer delays, and device repair and durability.
