Royal IHC and Floorganise B.V. have expanded their partnership to establish the conditions for digital supply chain collaboration within the Dutch shipbuilding ecosystem. This collaboration aligns with the Dutch Maritime Masterplan and contributes to accelerating the renewal of the national fleet.

With Floorganise as the technology partner and the implementation of the Floor2Plan platform, digital collaboration across the supply chain is firmly embedded. The platform delivers real-time visibility into workload, progress, and process control, creating a solid foundation for project and production management throughout the entire value chain.

“The delivery time of complex systems—that’s where Royal IHC stands out. The quality of our process organization is crucial. With more insight and data from our supply chain, we are taking the next step,” says Derk te Bokkel.

Digital Supply Chain Collaboration as an Accelerator

Dutch shipbuilding operates within a broad ecosystem of design, engineering, suppliers, and production sites. By connecting planning, execution, and progress data into one chain-wide source of truth, actionable insights emerge that shorten lead times, reduce failure costs, and optimize capacity utilization.

Strategic Alignment with the Dutch Maritime Masterplan

The partnership fits within the ambitions of the Dutch Maritime Masterplan, including strengthening national shipbuilding capacity through digital collaboration platforms. By structurally embedding process innovation and data-driven operations, increased productivity becomes a chain-wide achievement rather than a local optimization.

Ronald de Vries summarizes: “Shipbuilding has unique characteristics that must be acknowledged in process innovation. Our team has the knowledge, technology, and ambition to push boundaries together with Royal IHC. Fleet renewal and the Maritime Masterplan demand speed and predictability—that’s exactly where Floor2Plan and digital supply chain collaboration add value.”
