Van Weelde Shipping moves finance and operations to Unit4’s cloud ERP

Unit4, a leader in enterprise cloud applications for people-centric organisations, today announced that Van Weelde Shipping Group has selected Unit4 ERPx to streamline its landscape and align with the future direction of the Unit4 platform.

An existing ERP CR (Continual Release) customer, Van Weelde Shipping Group made the transition to ERPx to provide a more intuitive user experience and stronger reporting capabilities, along with improved invoice workflow and enhanced integration options. Unit4 ERPx will also streamline day to day operations, reducing complexity across the business and enabling the company to take advantage of continuous innovation.

Van Weelde Shipping Group is a Rotterdam-based integrated shipping company established in 1964, specialising in Handysize dry bulk shipping. The company is involved in various aspects of the shipping industry, including ship-owning, shipbroking, commercial management, and technical management.

Van Weelde’s journey to Unit4 ERPx from Unit4 CR, is the next step in the modernisation of its financial and operational systems. The move will deliver a refreshed, modern user experience and establishing a future ready platform to support growth in the years ahead.

The decision reflects Van Weelde’s broader business strategy, which prioritises efficiency, and continues improvements. The company assessed how ERPx’s advancements, such as improved usability, more intuitive system interfaces, and stronger integration capabilities, could directly support its strategic objectives and enable smarter, more connected operations. In addition, ERPx will deliver meaningful improvements with limited impact on day to day operations.

By selecting Unit4, the customer will also benefit from:

• Higher productivity through a modern, people-centric design

• Standardised, structured data that enables reliable insights and foresight, automation and AI that is secure, governed, and embedded in everyday workflows

• A true cloud platform, built to scale by design, continuously improved and easier to integrate.

“ERPx is redefining what organisations should expect from their ERP, not as a static system, but as a continuously evolving platform for modern operations,” said Dan Pink, Head of ERPx Commercial Strategy and Growth, Unit4. “Our customers’ move to ERPx reflects a clear shift toward a more adaptive, insight driven operating model and a platform built for continuous innovation. Organisations like Van Weelde are choosing ERPx because they recognise that modernising ERP isn’t just an upgrade, it’s about establishing a future ready foundation for agility, resilience, and long term growth.”

“For us, moving to ERPx was a natural step to keep our systems clean, modern, and ready for what comes next,” said Ramon Wolfs, Financial Manager, Van Weelde Shipping Group. “Unit4 ERPx is the platform that will provide Van Weelde with a modern, intuitive, and future‑proof ERP solution that supports both current operations and long‑term strategic objectives.”

"We’re incredibly proud to deepen our long-standing partnership with Van Weelde Shipping Group, by supporting their move to ERPx,” said Simon Paris, CEO, Unit4. "This next chapter reflects our shared commitment to innovation, operational excellence and building a platform that will carry their business forward for years to come.”
