Rexel Nederland is a 200+ person distributor of electrical materials and equipment, part of the Rexel Group's broader European operations. The tech stack reflects a traditional wholesale business in transition: heavy ERP footprint (Dynamics 365, AFAS, SuccessFactors) paired with emerging analytics (Power BI adoption, QlikView), suggesting a move toward operational visibility. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 20 roles posted in the last 30 days, concentrated in sales and logistics—classic signals of growth pressure in a supply-chain-constrained sector facing inventory and process optimization demands.
