1992 |
THE FOUNDING
The story starts back in 1992 when we (Marc Roelofs and Roland Stilting) were still at school, following one of the first dedicated ICT studies in the Netherlands. Back then ICT was a completely different world: A PC was the tablet of today, DOS was king of the operating system, we were taught to program in Turbo Pascal and C++ and wrote our papers in Word Perfect 5.1. We were always busy tweaking and upgrading our PC’s with new components and one day got the idea to make a business out of it. Therefore, with the help of our families, because we weren’t even 18 so we couldn’t own our own business yet, we started Starware.
1995 |
OUR OWN OFFICE
In 1995, things really got too big for the attic at the house of Roland’s parents. Pallets of computer parts were delivered and hoisted up and down the stairs. So we found a small office near our homes in Reeuwijk, paused our studies, and worked our asses off to get an actual business going.
1997 |
GROWING PAINS
These first years we managed to grow to a respectable hardware and support company. Back then Starware’s operations were: assembling our own machines, supporting our clients in setting up LANs, and developing custom software solutions for them. The first employees we hired were Roland’s sister, Debbie, & long term friend and Marc’s old boss, Frank. It’s time to move towards a bigger office (next door). We are working on some software to optimise our supply chain of computers and the computer business is booming.
2001 |
the perfect storm
After years of growth, a number of things happened at the same time, and it felt like the perfect storm: the first internet bubble burst, computers became a commodity and the world economy held it’s breath after 9-11. We were forced to re-invent ourselves and let go of some great employees. This was probably the hardest period of our existence.
2002 |
the world of logistics
We discovered that combined knowledge of logistics and ICT was scarce. Moreover, we’ve always enjoyed tweaking the logistics and supply chain aspects of operations. Therefore, we soon landed our first large 3PL clients in this niche market. We helped them set up a Business Intelligence system ‘Avant la Lettre’, that enabled standardisation and measurements of logistic processes across customers and warehouses.
2004 |
the grid
After this had become a success we further specialised ourselves in improving and customising ICT systems in the supply chain. Continuing, we built output management systems, integration software, and add-on’s that are still used today. Secondly, we’ve helped 3PL’s implement features for their customers that were beyond their wildest expectations.The idea was conceived to build a piece of software that is loosely coupled with a WMS to print special labels and delivery notes during the process. This software will become the GRID suite later on.
2006 |
GOING GLOBAL
The functionalities of the grid predecessor were extended and got noticed all around the world. We traveled all across Europe and from Hong Kong to Sao Paolo to implement and teach about our tools.
2007 |
15 YEARS
15 years doing business, we totally transformed our company, moved to a new great office, and went to Iceland to celebrate our anniversary.
2009 |
WORKING ON JDA SOFTWARE
We noticed the Red Prairie discrete WMS (as it was called back in the day) gained a lot of traction at our larger customers. We acquainted ourselves with the software and started doing some large implementations.
2009 |
OUR FIRST IMPLEMENTATION
We had the opportunity to be involved with implementing a large high-performance customer. During the implementation, we integrated a lot with The Grid. After the NL site, we also implemented the RDC in the UK
2011 |
another big one
The next big implementation within DHL was another high-performance customer with material handling. We had a bumpy GoLive, but with a lot of effort, we managed to get it stable. Currently, we are still supporting the site and are developing changes to improve the operation.
2013 |
more implementations
While supporting and developing changes for improving the previous customers, we helped with various other implementations.
2015 |
JDA partner award
Our cooperation with JDA Software kept going strong and in 2015 we received the JDA Partner Award!
2015 |
DHL DE
In 2015, Starware started working in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and is still helping in implementing and supporting multiple customers
2016 |
EXPANSION
Starware became a multinational by opening a new office and company in Hamburg Germany. As the German market has a huge potential for our line of work it was the most logical choice.
2017 |
starware 25 years!
Starware became a quarter of a century old! And we celebrated with our “Fireball rally” driving from different locations in the Netherlands to Germany, only knowing a few hints on how to reach the immediate next destination. Along the way we had vlogs, car karaokes, speedboat rides, beach bonfires, tank riding, laser tag, amazing food and drinks, and of course plenty of surprises.
2019 |
starware 50 employees!
We keep on growing! In 2019 we reached 50 people, and counting.
2019 |
brand new office
The come of new employees meant Starware’s current office was slowly becoming too small, so we moved to a new office in the center of Gouda with more space, great coffee and the latest technologies.
2020 |
expanding to australia
We enter a new phase as the number of large accounts keeps growing and the demand for 24×7 support is always increasing in this 24 hour economy.
So, to correct the work-life balance once more, we are moving away from nightly standby shifts and implementing a follow the sun setup in which we can provide local support for our customers from inspiring locations.
