01 — Local economy

Business in Rotterdam

Europe's largest port stretches some 40 km from the city to the Maasvlakte, handling containers, crude oil and agricultural bulk. Refineries and chemical plants run by Shell, ExxonMobil and BP crowd the Botlek and Europoort areas, and shipping agents, forwarders, commodity traders and maritime insurers fill offices along the Maas, alongside offshore-energy and food-processing companies.

Where software helps: Forwarders, traders and chemical distributors in Rotterdam juggle customs declarations, bonded-warehouse stock, demurrage and EU ICS2 and CBAM reporting, often re-keying the same container data into several systems.

05 — FAQ

Custom software in Rotterdam: common questions

Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Rotterdam?

Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Rotterdam; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.

How do time zones work between Rotterdam and Jaipur?

Jaipur is 4 h 30 min ahead of Rotterdam on standard time, and 3 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 13:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 4 h 30 min to 5 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.

Can your AI agents talk to customers in Dutch and English?

Yes. Current language models handle Dutch and English well, including mixed-language messages. We still test an agent in each language your customers use before it goes live, and route anything it is unsure about to your team.

What would a first project look like for a logistics business?

Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For logistics & ports that is often job & shipment costing and warehouse management (bins, put-away, picking). It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
