We are a Norwegian logistics-tech company that negotiates freight agreements and manages carrier relationships for e-commerce businesses of every size, from new startups to established brands. Profrakt negotiates freight agreements for more than 1,500 Norwegian online stores and businesses, from new startups to established brands. It pools their combined volume to get better prices than they could get alone. Customers deal with one partner and one agreement instead of many, while still getting access to carriers such as Bring, PostNord, Helthjem, Porterbuddy, Instabox and UPS. The Profrakt Portal is the customer’s daily workspace. Through it, businesses can: Book B2C and B2B shipments, from small parcels to pallets and heavy goods Have the system pick the best carrier for each shipment based on price, speed and service Print shipping labels, including cloud printing directly to connected label printers Track shipments and search, filter and export their shipment history Create return shipments and book pickups Manage a customer register, their account and a customizable dashboard Handle invoicing, shipment inquiries and support requests As the platform grows, the team is moving selected backend services from Python to Java/Spring Boot.
