Statieheld is on a mission to simplify and modernize recycling across the Netherlands with its innovative reverse vending machines. As the company rapidly scales, reliable connectivity across all locations has become not just a nice-to-have, but a mission-critical requirement. To meet this need, Statieheld partnered with us to deploy a robust, multi-network IoT connectivity solution that has completely transformed how they operate, monitor, and grow.
The Challenge
As CEO Valerie van Zuijlen explains, “The most common challenge we face with our machines is finding locations with reception.”
Statieheld’s machines need to transmit real-time data from a wide range of locations—many with unreliable or no mobile coverage.
Relying on a single-network SIM created serious limitations. With only one carrier per device, coverage gaps often meant machines couldn’t go live—or required manual troubleshooting and costly workarounds. This lack of consistent connectivity limited deployment flexibility and slowed the company’s growth.
The Solution
To overcome these challenges, Statieheld partnered with us to implement a fully managed connectivity solution—combining rugged multi-network SIMs with our user-friendly IoT platform. This bundled service didn’t just provide reliable connectivity; it also delivered the tools, visibility, and support Statieheld needed to easily manage their entire network.
Our SIM cards automatically connect to the strongest available network, ensuring stable communication at every site.
“With CSL, we now have coverage everywhere we go,” says Valerie. “We don’t have to ask, ‘Will there be connectivity?’—we just know there will be.”
Our platform gives Statieheld full visibility and control over their data infrastructure. From headquarters, their team can remotely monitor and manage their entire national fleet—cutting down on on-site tech visits and improving operational efficiency.
A dedicated CSL account manager provides responsive, hands-on support—minimizing delays and giving Statieheld’s tech team a single, reliable point of contact whenever they need help.
Value Delivered
Since implementing our solution, the impact on operations and business growth has been dramatic:
- Reliable Connectivity: Machines now operate anywhere—no pre-checks needed for network availability.
- Greater Efficiency: Centralized, real-time monitoring has simplified daily operations and maintenance.
- Faster Expansion: With connectivity challenges out of the way, Statieheld has scaled rapidly across the country.
- Massive Growth: The company’s growth rate surged from 20% to 400% in under a year—thanks to the ability to deploy machines anywhere, without compromise.
“Before, we had to choose locations based on network coverage. Now, we just focus on the spots where we’ll have the most impact,” says Valerie. “CSL’s solution just works. We don’t have to think about it anymore.”
For Statieheld, CSL isn’t just a connectivity provider—we’re a growth partner. With reliable IoT infrastructure, full network flexibility, and real-time insights, we’ve helped fuel the next stage of their mission: making recycling more accessible and impactful.
“I’d absolutely recommend CSL,” Valerie says. “We’re expanding fast—and connectivity is no longer a concern.”
