Statieheld is on a mission to simplify and streamline recycling across the Netherlands with its innovative reverse vending machines. As the company rapidly scales its operations, seamless connectivity across all locations has become not just a nice-to-have—but a business-critical requirement. To support this need, Statieheld partnered with us to implement a robust, multi-network IoT connectivity solution that has transformed how they operate, monitor, and expand.
The Challenge
As Statieheld’s CEO, Valerie van Zuijlen, explains, “The most common challenge we face with our machines is finding locations where we have reception.” Their machines need to communicate real-time data from a wide variety of locations, many of which had inconsistent or no mobile network coverage.
Relying on a single-network SIM posed serious limitations. With only one network provider per device, coverage gaps often meant machines couldn’t go live-or required manual intervention and costly workarounds. The lack of consistent connectivity restricted deployment options and slowed down the company’s growth trajectory.
Our Solution
To overcome these limitations, Statieheld partnered with us for a fully managed connectivity solution—combining resilient multi-network SIMs with our intuitive IoT platform. This service-wrapped offering gave Statieheld not just reliable connectivity, but the tools, visibility, and support needed to manage their entire network with ease. Our SIM cards automatically connect to the strongest available network, ensuring reliable communication in every location.
“With CSL, we now have connection everywhere we go,” says Valerie. “We don’t have to ask, ‘Will we have connectivity there?’—we just know we will.”
Our platform gives Statieheld complete visibility and control over their data infrastructure. From their headquarters, the Statieheld team can monitor and manage their entire national fleet of machines, reducing on-site technical interventions and streamlining operations.
An assigned personal account manager from CSL provides direct, hands-on support-minimising delays and ensuring that Statieheld’s technical team always has a single point of contact when they need help.
Value Delivered
Since implementing our solution, the operational and business impact has been game-changing:
- Seamless Connectivity: Machines now operate in any location, without the need for pre-assessing network viability.
- Operational Efficiency: Real-time, centralised monitoring has streamlined day-to-day operations and maintenance.
- Faster Expansion: Without connectivity barriers, Statieheld has scaled more aggressively across the country.
- Explosive Growth: The company’s growth rate jumped from 20% to 400% in less than a year – driven by the ability to deploy machines anywhere, without compromise.
“Before, we had to choose locations based on their connectivity. Now, we just focus on the best spots for impact,” Valerie shares. “CSL’s solution just works. We don’t have to think about it anymore.”
For Statieheld, we aren’t just a connectivity provider – we a growth enabler. With reliable IoT infrastructure, full network flexibility, and real-time platform insights, CSL has helped power the next stage of Statieheld’s mission to make recycling more accessible and impactful.
“I would definitely recommend CSL,” Valerie says. “We’re expanding rapidly—and we don’t have to think about connectivity anymore.”
