The newest e-bookbarometer of the second quater of 2017 shows an overall growth.

175,000 Gruffalos, in 5,833 boxes, on 130 pallets for 784 bookstores in the Netherlands and 32 in Belgium. A huge logistic task for the Dutch campaign Ik wil een prentenboek! (I want a picture book!).

Every day we 'pick' hundreds of thousands of books at CB for booksellers and consumers. In different quantities (from 1 copy to hundreds), bestsellers, niche titles, with a choice of over 110,000 titles. Each book should be for 'grabs'. These numbers call for smart logistics. How do we do that? We give you a quick look behind the scenes.

Logistic service provider CB and printing company Printforce are exploring the possibility to further strengthen their partnership. By doing so, the companies are looking to optimize the alignment with the market’s ‘on-demand printing needs’. This applies as well to larger print runs, special productions, and to foreign books and magazines. The use of new technologies will furthermore drive down costs.

Paula's Choice develops, manufactures and provides skin care products to consumers, beauty salons and skin therapists all over the world. CB will take care of all logistics operations in Europe. From import, storage, e-commerce and Business2Business deliveries.

At night, we work hard to process all the orders. The last orders come in at 23:00 and the first trucks leave at 04:00.
