Your haulage company is leaking money right now – and you know it

Every time an order is manually entered. Every time you call to check where the truck is. Every minute between delivery and invoice. These are not operational costs – they are holes in the hull.

Digitally connected logistics systems

An integrated logistics system is not an IT project – it is a competitive advantage that is immediately visible on the bottom line.

It always starts with a spreadsheet. Then another one. Then a third one to keep track of the first two. Before you know it, you have built a parallel administrative system alongside your core business – and that system costs you more than you think.

We have spoken with hundreds of haulage companies. The pattern is the same regardless of whether the fleet is five or fifty vehicles: the administrative burden grows faster than the business. And the root of the problem is always the same – the systems do not talk to each other.

"The most dangerous cost is not the one you see on the invoice. It is the one you have normalized as 'this is how we always do it'."

The true cost of an isolated IT environment

Double work is not a routine issue – it is a structural problem

An order that comes in via email is entered into one system. Then into another for invoicing. Then possibly into a third for reporting. Each entry takes maybe three minutes. But calculate: if you handle 40 shipments per day and each order is entered in three places, we are talking about 1.5–2 hours of pure double work every day. Over a year, that is a full-time job.

It is not inefficiency. It is a design choice – and you can make a different one.

Navichain's philosophy

A platform that speaks all languages

Navichain is built on a fundamental insight: we cannot determine which tools you love. You might swear by Fortnox and never want to change. You might have an existing telematics solution that works excellently. You might collaborate with customers who use SAP or Microsoft Dynamics.

There is no reason whatsoever to start from scratch. On the contrary, it is a reason to integrate.

Navichain's integration layer – your digital backbone

Instead of forcing you to change everything at once, Navichain connects your existing toolbox and lets the information flow where it is needed – automatically, in real-time, without manual intermediaries.

ERP & Finance

Direct connection to Fortnox, Visma, Wint, and Hogia. An invoice creates itself when the delivery is confirmed – no manual intervention.

Telematics & Vehicles

Real-time data from Teltonika FMC650 and other OBD devices is synchronized directly. Position, fuel, driving times – all in one interface.

Customer & Order Flow

Customers' order systems are connected via API. The order appears in Navichain seconds after the customer places it – no email, no manual intervention.

eCMR & Authorities

Digital waybills are created, signed, and archived automatically. Customs documents and environmental reporting are handled without separate processes.

Not either/or – but both/and

Replace what doesn't work. Keep what does.

One of the most common objections we encounter is: "We can't change everything at once, we have too much invested in our existing systems."

We understand. And you don't have to.

Navichain can be the core that replaces most things – but it can just as well be the hub that binds together systems you want to keep. Every haulage company is unique. Every integration situation is as well. The important thing is that the data stops living in isolated islands and starts flowing where it creates value.

Integrations are not an IT project for large haulage companies with IT departments. It is a business strategy for all haulage companies that want to stop paying for manual work with time they don't have.

β€” Navichain's product philosophy

Three concrete wins – immediately

What happens the day after you connect the systems?

  • 1
    Zero vision for double work

    Information is entered exactly once – at the source. Then it flows automatically to accounting systems, driver logs, reporting, and customer portal. You stop paying for work that the computer can do.

  • 2
    Invoicing cycle halved

    When the delivery is confirmed in the mobile app, the invoice is automatically created in Fortnox. Not at the end of the week. Not the next day. Immediately. A shorter invoicing cycle means better cash flow – and that is money that actually shows up.

  • 3
    Decisions based on the whole picture

    When ERP data, telematics data, and operational data are collected in one system, you suddenly see what each route actually costs. Not approximately – exactly. That is the difference between guessing and knowing.

Free and paid services

Get started without committing

Navichain offers a free starter package for haulage companies with up to two users and around 50 bookings per month – fully functional, no credit card requirements. If you want to scale up, you pay 199 SEK per user per month. The HaaS solution with hardware and telematics costs 199 SEK per vehicle per month.

There is no lengthy onboarding process, no consulting invoice to get started, and no binding period that locks you in. You connect, test in real life – and then decide.

Navichain's servers are located in Sweden, outside the jurisdiction of US CLOUD Acts. Your transport data and customer information are yours and stay in Sweden.

There are haulage companies that operated with paper and phone ten years ago. The most successful of them integrated early. Not because they were the largest – but because they decided to stop paying for problems they could solve once and for all.
