The current economic situation pointed out the need for GDL Transport for a lasting on-board computer solution that ensures continuity and autonomy.   
Last year at Transport & Logistics in Antwerp, GDL met the on-board computer of GreenCat. GDL was immediately impressed by the list of satisfied customers that already work with this solution. 
Carlos Deprez, director of Transport in GDL Menen-Rekkem says: "The main reasons that GreenCat differentiates from other Belgian suppliers are the usability of the web-based software AgatSQL, the possibility of installing the software on standalone servers, and the freedom of choice in GPRS mobile operator.  GreenCat is the only one that guarantees compatibility between its on-board computers and the Garmin truck navigator''.
"The combined offerings of the T1 on-board computer and the Garmin NUV465FT truck navigator allows our drivers to be navigated, taking into account the tachograph data, and automatically be guided to the next loading / unloading point, without any worries about the constraints imposed on trucks. This is of course also in line with the European legislation regarding drive and resting, thanks to the link of the tachograph and on-board computer’’, says Dirk van den Haute, who is leading the project. Dirk van den Haute also adds; ‘’Thanks to GreenCat our drivers can now also reset their tachograph data by a simple push on the button.’’  
Carlos Deprez: "GreenCat shows seriousness and professionalism, and the fact that it’s part of a financially strong family company ensures that it’s not directly affected by market troubles. Continuity is a key requirement in my choice. I want this investment to render for years, both internally as to my clients. Therefore we wanted to make a well considered choice. After research, we decided to cooperate with GreenCat".
"GDL Transport is the first Belgian customer who chooses for AgatSQL and the GreenCat T1 on-board computer", says Johan Tielemans. ‘’In France this product is a bestseller for over 15 years. The secret of success lies in the combination of a very rich standard software and extremely robust hardware. Robust because its manufactured in our own production facility. This ensures a remarkable robustness, a long life usability and a much lower operational cost compared to any other solution. Our customers use the on-board computer on average 8 to 12 years. The possibility of installing the software on own servers makes the total cost after depreciation of the hardware very low. For GDL, this means a significant advantage''.
For over twenty years GDL Transport is doing transport between Belgium, France, Spain and Portugal with 65 new Mercedes tractor / trailer combinations equipped with on-board computers and T1 GreenCat and Garmin NUV465FT navigation systems. The specialty of this West-Flemish company is transport and storage of wines. The storage is under customs supervision, in its 22,000m2 warehouse in Belgium or in its own branch in Libourne (near Bordeaux).
