Sortimo EcoSystem

When everything just fits perfectly – the Sortimo EcoSystem and its benefits for your day-to-day working life.

We’re always talking about the Sortimo EcoSystem.
But what is it actually?

The idea is as follows: Everything fits into and with everything else – not just other Sortimo products but across all brands.

Sortimo is offering its customers a system with which they can transport Sortimo products at the same time as integrating a number of brand-name products which tradespeople and service technicians use day in day out – seamlessly. For Sortimo, this means that we offer the manufacturers of tools, machinery and consumables the opportunity to use Sortimo BOXXes and cases as the outer packaging for their materials. (Incidentally Sortimo no longer looks after this side of things: it is done by a joint venture company called BS Systems, a joint Sortimo and Bosch company).

Total compatibility – beyond a single system

However, not every manufacturer uses our BOXXes. That was one reason for Sortimo opening up its own system and using fastenings in its van racking system for third-party boxes – to make everyday working easier for customers and thereby improve their productivity. Plastic slides and adapter plates now also enable third-party cases and boxes to be seamlessly integrated into van racking systems from Sortimo, securely held in place and transported compactly in the vehicle. Sortimo has therefore developed fastenings for Hilti cases, certain sizes of which can be pushed directly into the van racking system, and, like a Sortimo BOXX, fixed directly into the van racking system.

The BOXX frame: part of the EcoSystem

The L-BOXX: an integral part of the EcoSystem

However, the EcoSystem is not just about integrating other brands. For some time, Sortimo’s product development has also been making sure everything fits together – that is to say, is inter-compatible. Why? Because the company wants to put customers centre stage and design a highly efficient mobile working environment for them. Perfectly coordinated mobility solutions can make a significant contribution to maximising productivity and achieving maximum efficiency in everyday working life.

Essentially, this starts with the BOXXes. They are systems that not only fulfil their purpose in the van racking system, but also help to transport, keep tidy and store tools and small components outside of the vehicle.

How can a BOXX meet these requirements?

You’re guaranteed to know the benefits if you already use L-BOXXes or other Sortimo BOXXes.
And the L-BOXX is not the only one to be part of the Sortimo EcoSystem.

Load securing included

A further key element is the fully integrated ProSafe load securing system. This system simplifies the professional securing of loads in your vehicle and, thanks to its ease of handling, also means that drivers actually use it and thus transport their loads carefully, preventing damage to property and personnel. ProSafe is Sortimo’s unique load securing system, which is totally compatible with the original lashing points in light commercial vehicles and with the individual floor lashing points or wall rails.

ProSafe can be optionally integrated into various Sortimo product elements:

Thanks to its combined technical expertise, the market leader succeeds in offering its customers integrated procurement and application options that result in significantly improved productivity in mobile day-to-day work and provide customers with considerable added value beyond a single system. The Sortimo EcoSystem is based on a complementary product strategy to provide an integrated system by combining Sortimo products and services and those of selected partners, resulting in optimised workflows that benefit tradespeople in their day-to-day work.
