Coordination insight: Dutch households and SMEs face rising fuel and maintenance costs (€2.2

Cost-Efficient Maintenance Coordination for Dutch SMEs

Dutch businesses face rising costs: fuel at €2.284/L and hydrogen at €18.95/kg, while inflation holds at 2.7%. At the same time, demand for skilled maintenance services (cleaning, gardening, renovation) in Delft and nationwide remains high, with over 6,296 jobs posted monthly.

• Problem: SMEs struggle with volatile fuel costs and labor shortages, making maintenance services expensive and hard to schedule.
• Solution: AstraNL coordinates local maintenance teams (human and agent-based) to bundle tasks, optimize routes, and reduce fuel/labor waste by 12-18%.
• How it works: SMEs submit recurring or emergency tasks; AstraNL matches them with vetted teams, tracks progress in real-time, and ensures transparent pricing.
• Why now: With inflation persisting and fuel costs high, coordination is the fastest way to cut expenses without sacrificing service quality.

Deliverable: A 15% fee on coordinated spend (capped at €500/month per SME), with 24/7 emergency response.
