Stol Advisory helps logistics, manufacturing and retail operations sharpen their workforce management — time, absence, scheduling, shift systems, forecasting and the data that connects them.
Reyno Stol
Founder & Consultant
Stol Advisory is an independent consultancy based out of The Netherlands, focused on operational processes — with a specialisation in workforce management. The work sits where rosters, time and absence data, forecasts and operational systems meet the people doing the job.
My experience has spanned the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria and the Gulf countries — across logistics, manufacturing and retail environments.

Operational footprint
Frequently asked
What kind of engagements do you take on?
From short advisory reviews of an existing WFM setup to longer programmes covering process redesign, vendor selection and implementation support.
Are you tied to a specific WFM vendor?
No. The work starts from operational requirements and people, not from a tool. I work with whichever system fits the situation.
Remote or on-site?
Both. Floor observation matters for logistics and manufacturing work; ongoing advisory is typically hybrid.
Which regions do you cover?
Active across the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria and the Gulf countries. Working language is English.
