Operations consultancy and software studio founded by Harry Butcher. Extensive experience in fleet, warehouse and telematics operations across multiple countries, now building consultancy and products around the same instinct: see the opportunity, then provide the solution.
Bemhatech is a software studio and operations consultancy based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. It was founded to bring a rare combination to both software and operations work: extensive hands-on experience running fleet, warehouse and transportation operations, plus significant product leadership experience building the telematics software that runs those operations.
That combination shapes how Bemhatech works. Consultancy engagements and self-built products both follow the same pattern: identify a genuine operational opportunity, then deliver the solution through direct experience and applied innovation, not theory.
Career grew in three stages: a foundation in logistics and warehousing (including designing and leading the start-up of a distribution facility in Beirut, Lebanon), specialisation in regional fleet management across the Middle East and Africa, and value creation in telematics product leadership at Astrata (formerly Qualcomm), Telogis / Verizon Connect and Geotab.
Most telematics product managers have only ever known the software side. Harry has managed the fleet and the warehouse floor directly, then built the SaaS solutions that run them.
Concept to shipped product: architecture, build and release for desktop and web SaaS.
Hands-on delivery management for teams shipping under a fixed scope or deadline.
Positioning, prioritisation and roadmap work for products pre- or post-launch.
Process and systems design for warehouse operations and distribution networks.
Fleet planning, routing and transport operations advisory.
Design and rollout of telematics and vehicle-data programs, from pilot to fleet-wide.
The same pattern, at every stage of a career built prior to Bemhatech: find the opportunity, then deliver the solution. This experience predates Bemhatech and reflects assignments undertaken in prior leadership roles.
