Click-Pax: On a mission for less packaging
Click-Pax is a Dutch company specialised in sustainable packaging solutions for e-commerce plant businesses. From design and prototyping to production and logistics, they help clients reduce CO₂ emissions by replacing plastic with smart, sustainable packaging. Their clients range from large online plant retailers to logistics providers looking to improve efficiency and sustainability.
Growth ambition was the start of the collaboration
To expand internationally, Click-Pax partnered with Boost Business, with a clear focus on the UK market one of Europe’s largest and fastest-growing e-commerce sectors. Boost Business supports their full commercial presence in the UK, acting as an extended sales and account management team. We are the face of Click-Pax in the UK: reaching out to new prospects, managing and growing existing client accounts, developing strategic partnerships (such as with DPD UK), and representing the brand at leading industry events like the IPM Show in Essen.
Key success factors
What makes this international expansion a success? A few key best practices:
  • Quarterly UK Roadshows: Regular visits with Click-Pax's founder, Steef van Schie, to strengthen client relationships and align on strategy.
  • Weekly Strategy Sessions: Consistent check-ins to review leads and adjust approaches as needed.
  • Support from Dutch Team: Back-office, design, and project management assistance allowed the local professional to focus on growth activities.
Sales Highlights: from Beards and Daisies to Patch
One of the major success stories is our collaboration with Beards & Daisies, a leading online plant store in the UK. As an existing client, they’ve been supported with tailored packaging solutions and continuous commercial follow-up to increase their satisfaction and volume.
In parallel, we secured a new strategic account: Patch, one of the UK's most prominent plant delivery brands. With a strong focus on sustainability and branding, Patch was looking for a packaging partner that could deliver both innovation and reliability. Thanks to the local presence and hands-on approach of our UK Booster, we turned 0 contact, to cold outreach to initial conversations into a real partnership.
Strategic collaboration for market entry
Boost Business provided Click-Pax with a dedicated local commercial professional, acting as an on-the-ground account manager. This role includes:
  • Sales outreach to new leads through LinkedIn, email, and industry introductions.
  • Account management for existing clients such as Beards & Daisies, helping them scale with Click-Pax packaging.
  • Business development by identifying opportunities in the UK e-commerce market.
  • On-site presence at UK events, fairs, and meetings to represent Click-Pax face-to-face and strengthen local trust.

About Solero: Dutch Quality in Outdoor Shading

Solero is known in the Netherlands for designing and delivering high-quality parasols and shading systems — combining smart engineering with sustainable materials. With increasing demand from the UK market, the question was how Solero should enter.

The company wanted a clear view on:

  • Where to locate warehousing and fulfilment
  • Whether to rent or buy property or space
  • Which logistics hubs offered the best access and value
  • What role potential M&A (acquisition) opportunities might play in speeding up local presence

Project-Based Support for Complex Operational Questions

Boost Business stepped in to deliver targeted research and local scouting, led by an experienced market-entry strategist in the UK. The assignment included:

  • Mapping relevant logistics regions
  • Identifying and comparing rent vs buy scenarios for warehousing
  • Conducting initial acquisition scans for small-scale fulfilment providers
  • Evaluating operational risks, infrastructure, and cost implications

The outcome was a practical, decision-ready overview of Solero’s options — helping the leadership team assess market-entry timing, setup cost, and long-term scalability.
