Alrik offers a logistics software platform that connects merchants, suppliers, carriers, truck drivers and construction sites in a centralised digital ecosystem. The product automates transport sourcing, invoicing, integrations with ERPs and emissions tracking, with customers typically seeing a 25 percent cost reduction per delivery. The company’s marketplace model is designed to build network effects, enabling customers to connect with thousands of carriers and over 100,000 construction sites. Operational traction includes monthly shipments growing from 2,000 to over 25,000 and a reported 10x increase in both revenue and app usage over the past year. Clients include Nordic firms such as Saint-Gobain, Renta, Byggmax, Sonsab, XL-Bygg and Karl Hedin. Alrik plans to use new funding to accelerate go-to-market efforts, enhance its platform for enterprise clients and expand across northern Europe and into the UK. Alrik provides a SaaS platform that enables supervisors to monitor fleet activity and centralise logistics coordination across construction supply chains. The product is designed to reduce manual coordination (phone calls, handwritten records, whiteboards) and improve supply-chain visibility for distributors and construction sites. Early users have reported up to 10% reductions in fleet emissions, and one customer saw fleet costs fall by a third after six months of use. The company already serves over 100 customers, including Saint-Gobain, STARK Group, Kesko, Bygma, Mestergruppen, Karl Hedin and Woody. Alrik was founded in 2022 by Axel Enblad and Nici Sundén-Cullberg and launched last year, and it plans to expand further across Europe. The company recently raised seed funding to support that expansion.
