European route and trip planning software solutions provider, 3264 PTV Group, is expanding its sales and services into Scandinavia, to take advantage of current market demand.

Several Scandinavian companies, including Finnish companies DSV and Itella, and Abax, Norway, already benefit from PTV software and consulting services for transport, logistics and geomarketing, utilising the company’s route planning software Map&Guide and the component based xServers.

“It was our desire to change the reactive market approach in favour of a pro-active, especially in the Scandinavian region, so we appointed Marcel de Haas as Business Development Manager Scandinavia,” said Dyon van Gaans, director of the PTV Group in the Benelux. “Marcel will operate from our Dutch office in Utrecht and will focus entirely on the Scandinavian market. Besides finding end customers, he will be looking for partners and resellers."
