Bakkerij Thyssen
Bakkerij Thyssen, based in the “Kluizenmolen” craft business park in Sint-Gillis-Waas, is a bakery with a rich history rooted in traditional baking techniques.
Their story
Since 1944, Bakkerij Thyssen has combined craftsmanship with semi-industrial production, always respecting its original recipes.
Bakkerij Thyssen in Sint-Gillis-Waas has been a trusted name in the region since 1944, known for its patisserie and bakery products. The company is a semi-industrial bakery today, but it has never left its artisan roots behind.
The recipes and baking processes developed here are still checked by hand against old trade manuals and recipe books. That living tradition means every new product has its origins in the past, with respect for the original techniques and flavours.

The challenge
Bakkerij Thyssen needed a more efficient system to support its growth and safeguard product safety.
Continued growth and changing legislation left the company with a clear challenge: make its processes more efficient while guaranteeing the quality and safety of its products.
That impressive growth also meant Bakkerij Thyssen needed a system to help it plan deliveries efficiently and monitor product temperatures continuously. Both were essential to meet strict food safety regulations and to guarantee product quality, particularly during transport to customers such as bakers, schools and hospitals.
The solution
GeoDynamics delivered real-time vehicle tracking and temperature registration, with alerts as soon as a reading goes out of range.
GeoDynamics offered the ideal solution: not only vehicle tracking, but also temperature registration built into the vehicles. This allows Bakkerij Thyssen to follow both the location and the temperature of its products in real time.
The alerts warn Eric Thyssen in good time whenever something is about to go wrong, such as a load running too warm or too cold, so he can step in quickly.
“Thanks to the temperature registration in the vehicles, I know at any moment how cold my load is being transported. Combined with the smart time registration, that saves me a great deal.”
