InXpress targets nationwide coverage with thirteen territories available

Under country manager Sander van Renesse, InXpress aims to continue building nationwide coverage in the Netherlands. The logistics franchise has 25 franchisees in the country, covering 27 of its forty territories between them. This leaves thirteen territories available, according to an interview published by Dutch franchise publication De Nationale Franchise Gids on 29 September 2026.

New leadership focuses on growth and strengthening the network

Van Renesse plans to draw on his experience in franchising and growth to further professionalise InXpress. Alongside expansion, his priorities include strengthening the network and realising its growth potential. The ambition therefore encompasses both broader geographical coverage and the development of the franchise’s existing community.

This means building on a long-established organisation. InXpress has been operating in the Netherlands for more than thirteen years. Globally, the franchise operates in fourteen countries and has more than 450 franchise offices. This international presence provides the backdrop to its Dutch growth plans; the office count refers to the worldwide network, not just the Netherlands.

The available information gives no deadline for achieving nationwide coverage. Nor has InXpress announced how many new franchisees it hopes to recruit in the short term. The direction is clear, but the interview extract does not set out a specific pace of growth.

Thirteen territories still available

The Dutch network is divided into forty territories. Of these, 27 are currently covered by 25 franchisees. The distinction between territories and business owners matters: the number of occupied territories is not the same as the number of franchisees. These figures do not reveal exactly how the territories are distributed among individual owners.

The thirteen available territories are spread across the Netherlands. The available information does not specify their locations. Prospective franchisees can therefore see that there is scope for expansion, but not yet whether the area where they live or work is available.

According to InXpress, new franchisees build an independently run logistics consultancy within an exclusive territory. Territorial exclusivity is therefore a key feature of the business model described. At an initial meeting, candidates would be wise to ask not only about availability, but also about the exact boundaries and contractual scope of that exclusivity. The published extract provides no further details on these points.

A personal point of contact for international shipments

InXpress focuses on taking the complexity out of international shipping for small and medium-sized businesses. The local franchisee acts as a personal point of contact for customers. The concept centres on an independently run consultancy with local customer relationships, operating within an international franchise network.

Franchisees work with major carriers, including DHL, UPS, FedEx and Mainfreight. These relationships form part of the service InXpress provides to business customers. The supplied information contains no details of specific rates, shipping volumes or individual agreements with these carriers.

For the Dutch franchise sector, this news highlights a model centred on business services. Rather than opening a shop or hospitality venue, the franchisee builds a logistics consultancy. The model brings together a local point of contact and customers’ international shipping needs. This combination is central to the franchise’s proposition, although it does not provide a basis for assessing the performance of individual offices.

What prospective franchisees should assess

The news offers a concrete starting point for entrepreneurs considering a service-based franchise: InXpress still has territories available and wants to develop its Dutch network further under new leadership. However, this is not yet a complete picture of the financial and operational requirements of joining.

The available interview extract includes no joining costs, turnover forecasts or profitability figures. It also does not explain precisely what support or further professionalisation will involve. These are natural topics for a follow-up discussion as part of a thorough assessment, alongside territory options and a franchisee’s day-to-day work.

Practical advice: first ask which territories are available, then request an explanation of the territorial agreements, support and financial terms. This turns the ambition for nationwide growth into a proposal you can assess for your own business.
