Portbase integration

No more copy-and-paste

Since 1991 SZTV has been known for efficient transport and truly unburdening customers. We spoke with Marco van Driel, a planner with 30+ years at SZTV in Ridderkerk. Until recently Portbase meant slow manual copy-and-paste—Sping replaced that with a seamless integration.

Government and port authorities recently introduced a trust chain—fewer PIN and email gymnastics, a safer Portbase ecosystem, and smoother day-to-day operations.
