CubeCold: Innovating and Growing Faster with Macaw Cloud & Managed Services

About CubeCold

Three years ago, the founders of the Dutch family business CubeCold embarked on a mission to revitalize the cold chain. Today, the startup offers a comprehensive end-to-end solution for refrigerated logistics from 17 locations spread across four countries. The company, which now has over 350 employees, is on the rise thanks to an active ‘buy-and-build’ strategy and strong organic growth.

From Smart Data Platform to Cloud Services

One of CubeCold’s main ambitions is to grow through acquisition. It’s no surprise that their IT needs are focused on flexibility, scalability, and speed. The implementation of a Smart Data Platform has partially met these needs, but with Macaw’s Cloud & Managed Services, CubeCold can now integrate new companies even faster and focus entirely on core activities and growth objectives.

Complete Relief with Managed IT Services

Through a well-organized process, CubeCold ensures that each acquired company is integrated into the IT environment within 100 days. This integration includes a thorough IT assessment, the implementation of a Microsoft 365 environment, a Smart Data Platform for reporting, and a secure connection to the central system. This process is fully supported by Macaw’s Cloud & Managed Services. In addition, Macaw also takes care of CubeCold’s infrastructure, hosting, technical application management, and workplace management.

Viktor Moricz, Financial Accountant at CubeCold, adds: “One of the biggest benefits of Cloud & Managed Services is that our people can focus on their core tasks, while Macaw ensures a well-functioning, modern IT environment. Whether it’s a malfunctioning mailbox or a colleague with a crashed laptop, we can always contact Macaw, and they resolve it quickly. It’s great to know we have a partner who is there for us 24/7.”

Collaboration: The Key to Success

Collaboration and knowledge sharing are important for CubeCold’s success. In addition to promoting this within the company, they aim to expand and deepen their knowledge through acquisitions and partnerships.

Moricz adds: “It’s fantastic that we’re not just focusing on the technical side – is everything working, and do I have access to all information and people – but also on the adoption of new technology. This is a crucial element because simply implementing software is pointless; colleagues must see its value and fully embrace it. Macaw really helps us with this. The connection with the consultants is great. They explain everything very well and in different languages, which helps us learn a lot from them.”

Ton Mulleneers, Managing Director of Macaw Netherlands, adds: “We are very pleased with the trust CubeCold places in us. The successful collaboration in data services has expanded to include our Cloud & Managed Services team and is moving towards information security and governance. This allows us to increase our impact and support CubeCold even better in realizing its ambitions. That’s what drives us and why we always go the extra mile.”
