What Boltrics does

Boltrics is a privately held Dutch software company, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Ede, Netherlands, that develops and sells logistics software exclusively for third-party logistics (3PL) service providers. The company serves nearly 400 logistics service providers across European and (since March 2024) Canadian markets, addressing nine vertical sub-segments: e-fulfilment, freight forwarding, customs, cold storage, air freight, road transport, sea freight, retail, and general warehouse management.

The company's core product, 3PL Dynamics, is a unified software platform built natively on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and delivered via Microsoft Azure. It bundles Warehouse Management Software (WMS), Transport Management Software (TMS), Freight Forwarding Software (FMS), and ERP integrations into a single vertical solution, supplemented by approximately twenty add-on modules covering app platform, RF scanning, cycle counting, cross docking, value-added logistics, customs, customer portal (Klantenportaal), eAWB, groupage, carrier integrations, billing & contracting, and management reporting. The product is positioned around a standardized 3-month implementation timeline and draws on input from its installed base to encode industry best practices.

Boltrics monetizes through quote-based annual SaaS subscriptions, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Request a Demo motion) with a reseller network and, as of March 2024, a channel partnership with Archer Point for Canadian expansion. The Microsoft platform partnership is strategic and core, providing native ERP, cloud, and integration advantages. The company operates with 11-50 employees, has no disclosed external funding, and reports no material AI/ML capabilities in its current product set.

Expansion highlights2 records

Direct peers

• WiseTech Global (CargoWise): Provides CargoWise, a logistics execution platform widely used by freight forwarders and 3PLs. Directly comparable as end-to-end logistics software for service providers, although it is its own platform rather than Microsoft-based.
• Logiwa: Cloud-based WMS purpose-built for 3PLs and e-commerce fulfillment providers. Direct competitor in the 3PL software niche with subscription SaaS delivery and similar customer profiles to Boltrics.
• Microlistics: Australian-headquartered WMS and TMS vendor serving 3PLs, freight forwarders, and distribution companies. Comparable in scale and target customer to Boltrics, with similar vertical SaaS positioning.
• Magaya: Provides freight forwarding and logistics software for forwarders and 3PLs. Closely comparable to Boltrics' FMS and customer-portal offering, with similar target customers in the SMB/mid-market logistics segment.

Broad incumbents

• Blue Yonder: Global supply chain software vendor (formerly JDA) offering WMS, TMS, and YMS. It competes with Boltrics in the broader WMS/TMS category, though it lacks the 3PL-specific deep specialization on Dynamics 365.
• Manhattan Associates: A large US-listed provider of WMS, TMS, and supply chain commerce solutions. While not 3PL-specific like Boltrics, it competes directly for large 3PL customers looking for warehouse and transport software.
• Descartes Systems Group: Canadian logistics technology vendor offering transportation management, customs, and trade compliance solutions. Overlaps with Boltrics' TMS, FMS, and customs modules and represents a comparable channel-partner-led international go-to-market.
• SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM): SAP's TMS offering used by large enterprises and 3PLs globally. Competes for enterprise 3PL accounts where SAP ERP is already deployed, similar to how Boltrics leverages existing Dynamics 365 installs.
• Oracle Transportation Management: Part of Oracle's SCM Cloud suite, providing TMS capabilities to large shippers and 3PLs. Represents a much larger alternative that Boltrics customers may evaluate as they scale globally.
• Körber Supply Chain (formerly HighJump): Provides WMS and supply chain execution software with strong 3PL customer references. Competes for the same mid-market and enterprise 3PL accounts that Boltrics targets.
