Full-scale enterprise TMS. Without the enterprise price.
Full-scale enterprise TMS.
Without the enterprise price.
The market has long forced transport companies to choose: heavy functionality or modern simplicity. Navichain eliminates that compromise.
The market for Transport Management Systems has for decades been dominated by a false dichotomy: either you buy a heavy, expensive, and locking legacy system – with the functional depth your business actually requires – or you choose a sleek cloud app that crashes against reality as soon as consolidation, terminals, or complex flows appear.
Navichain is built to make that compromise unnecessary. The same functional breadth as traditional systems. Direct connections to key players in the industry. A driver app that drivers actually use. And a transparent SaaS pricing model without startup fees, server maintenance, or vendor lock-in.
01 · Logistics logic Heavy functionality – without heavy IT
There is a widespread misconception in the industry: that advanced logistics functionality requires advanced IT infrastructure. Navichain silently disproves this version by version.
The system delivers features traditionally only found in the most expensive on-premise solutions – now directly in the web browser, always updated, without a single server installation.
Multi-leg & complex flows
Plan multi-step transports with intermediate stops, changes, and partial tracking – without needing to connect multiple separate systems.
Consolidation & fill rate
Optimize loops, consolidate freight, and maximize load fill with support for complex delivery scenarios requiring precise timing.
Terminal management
Cross-docking freight at your own or external terminals? Navichain handles it with built-in support for terminal flows and cross-connections.
Zone-based pricing
Build tariff structures based on geographic zones – just like traditional systems, but without their price tag.
Rarely communicated, but important: Navichain requires no installation fees, no local server maintenance, and no costly version upgrades. You pay per user, per month – and always have the latest version live, without downtime.
02 · Integrations Ready connections to key players in the industry
A TMS is never stronger than its integrations. Building your own API connections to clients, transport administration systems, and invoicing solutions is time-consuming, expensive, and an endless maintenance project.
Navichain solves this with ready, maintained integrations to the players who actually control the flows in the Swedish transport industry:
nShift & Logtrade: Zero double entry
Transport administration, EDI flows, and printing of consignment notes are handled directly from within Navichain. No switching between systems, no risk of manual errors, no information loss between steps.
DHL & Opter: Subcontractor flow automated
Do you run jobs as a subcontractor for DHL or for clients working in Opter? Navichain receives orders electronically, lets you execute the job in your own system, and automatically sends back status updates and digital proof of delivery (POD). Completely without manual intervention.
03 · Driver experience The app drivers actually use
There is a classic pattern in TMS implementations: the system looks impressive in the office. But out in the field, half of the drivers refuse to use the app, and the rest do so reluctantly and inconsistently.
The result? Dispatch still works with phone calls, and the entire investment in digitization is halved in practice.
Navichain's driver app is designed with one primary goal: that drivers will actually choose to use it. The interface is built after the consumer apps drivers are already familiar with. The threshold is minimal. The flow is logical.
Intuitive interface
Designed as a consumer app, not a business system. The driver sees what they need to see – nothing more, nothing less.
Digital CMR & e-signature
eCMR consignment notes and electronic signatures directly in the app. No paper documents that get lost or need to be scanned.
Photo documentation
Damages and deviations are photographed directly upon delivery and synced immediately to dispatch – with timestamp and GPS position.
Real-time sync
Every status update, signature, and POD reaches the office in real time. Dispatch always knows where the freight is.
04 · Comparison Navichain vs alternatives: an honest analysis
Below is a direct comparison of the challenges most commonly reported by transport companies that have evaluated or left traditional TMS systems – and how Navichain addresses them.
| Challenge with other systems | Navichain's solution |
|---|---|
| High startup fees and long implementation times | No startup price. Onboarding within days, not months. |
| Lock-in via proprietary file formats and agreements | Open API, data export on request. You always own your data. |
| Slow version updates with risk of downtime | Continuous updates in the cloud. Always the latest version, without downtime. |
| Simpler cloud apps lack support for consolidation and terminals | Full support for multi-leg, consolidation, terminals, and zone-based pricing. |
| Expensive and custom integrations are required | Ready connections to nShift, Logtrade, DHL, and Opter included from the start. |
| Drivers refuse or fail to use the driver app | Consumer-friendly app with high adoption rate and built-in eCMR support. |
| Unclear pricing with hidden costs and add-on modules | 199 SEK/user/month. Transparent, predictable cost without hidden fees. |
Frequently asked questions What transport companies actually wonder
Can Navichain fully replace our existing TMS?
Yes. Navichain is built as a complete TMS and can function as the sole system for your entire transport operation – from order handling and route optimization to invoicing and reporting. The system can also be integrated alongside existing systems you want to keep, via open API.
How long is the implementation time compared to traditional systems?
Where traditional TMS systems require months of configuration and installation projects, Navichain counts onboarding in days to weeks. Since it is a cloud-based system, everything happens without local installation or server infrastructure.
Where is our data stored – and what happens if we want to switch systems?
All data is stored on Swedish servers outside the American CLOUD Act jurisdiction. You always own your data and can export it upon request. No lock-in agreements.
Is there a free alternative to test the system?
Navichain offers a free tier for up to 2 users and approximately 50 bookings per month – enough to evaluate the system in real flows without financial risk. Paid plan starts at 199 SEK/user/month.
