While you focus on business,
we operate your transport
Having to deal with transport logistics is something few business owners dream about. Luckily, we do.
To us transport is more than getting things from A to B. It is the lifeblood of industry. Without it the industrial eco-system would stand still.
That’s why we make it our mission to enhance your performance by operating your recurring flows. We do it with the most efficient vehicles and by streamlining your processes. Real-time visualization and automation let’s us follow the transport and be ready for what’s to come. You could say, we optimize for today and future-proof for tomorrow.
How we work
More value for your money
Born out of Scania, we see your transport as a production line, instead of a logistic flow. By looking at the whole transport chain we can find key areas of improvement, and design flows that create more efficient and cost effective transport. Always putting safety first! Never ready to settle, we constantly trim your flow to make the overall quality better. More value for less money, to put it simply.
Making Data easy to act upon
If you can't act upon your data, it's useless. Our visual management system lets you and us follow the flow in real time. The algorithm looks at all data points and visualize them in a simple dashboard. It unlocks insights that makes it easier for the team to find better ways to work. But also to predict what's to come and make smart decisions.
Finding new ways. Together
You are the expert of your business. We are simply a catalyst for you to advance. That is why we work together with you on site and find opportunities to improve. We also connect all our profits to your success. We call it risk-profit sharing. It means that when business is good for you, it is also good for us.
Doing good for the greater good
We believe in doing good, which is why are we constantly working to reduce the CO2 emissions in our trucks. We negotiate better fuel, load smarter and chose the smartest route alternatives. We also take pride in making sure that our drivers have a good working environment. Fair wages, scheduled driving distances and extra cooling systems in hot regions are a few important things.
“I´m from a farming family in this area, but I have driven trucks for 22 years. I love driving and my dream is to be an excellent driver. I chose to work in the Lots operations because they have a good management, reasonable salary, and very good welfare and insurance.”

Wherever you go, we go with you
Whether you have an existing flow or a greenfield operation, we have you covered. Flexibility is crucial to handle everything from rough weather to inaccessible roads. To be ready for everything that can happen, we set up regional offices close to your business.
Many mines face challenging times with shrinking margins and increasing demands on delivery and efficiency. We combine a deep understanding of truck operations with experience of lean production systems, making mines run more like a manufacturing industry.
Wood is perishable. Moisture combined with heat and insect attacks can damage the fibers. Mills run all year but the course of nature creates variations in accessibility to roads and harvesting sites. For a forestry logistics operation, this means that flexibility is essential.
Standard of roads and availability of fields can differ from one day to another depending on weather and season. But the crop has to reach the factory or storage facility at all times. By connecting all parts of the value chain we can ensure a safe and effective transport.
We reinvent how industry moves
We live in a world of constant motion. New digital tools and data provide us with new opportunities. At the same time, the state of our environment urges us to be mindful of its resources.
As the world develops, even heavy industry needs to adapt. Because inefficiency is more than margin. It's a barrier to progress and a roadblock to long-term sustainability.
That’s why we are reinventing how industry moves.
We do it by being transformative, transparent and transnational. A lot of fancy words, but to us it is dead serious. It means we use disruptive technology to continuously improve transport. It means we see you as a business partner rather than a customer. And it means we are always locally present but with a global perspective.
It means we truly want to change the industry and make it better.
