Freight

What Freight does

Fraktus AB is a Stockholm-based, privately held freight forwarding aggregator founded in 2011 by Mattias Nordlöf and Anders Norell. The company operates a B2B platform that connects business customers with a network of 80+ transport carriers offering 200+ freight services across road, sea, air, and rail, plus specialized categories including temperature-controlled, dangerous goods, express, and courier. Its core product is the "Mina Sidor" customer portal, which embeds a freight calculator ("Fraktkalkylator") that compares services on price, transit time, and environmental impact, and integrates booking, invoicing, tracking, and claims handling into a single system.

The business model is take-rate freight brokering: Fraktus aggregates customer shipping volume, negotiates preferential bulk rates with carriers, and earns the margin between negotiated bulk pricing and customer-level pricing — rather than charging explicit commissions. Pricing is quote-based and contract-driven (multi-year terms with personalized consulting via a dedicated sales team), and the company explicitly excludes single-shipment or consumer customers. Climate compensation is embedded into the default offering, covering 99.9% of freight at no additional charge to customers (excluding heavy air freight, where customers may opt to cover the cost).

Fraktus serves Swedish and European B2B customers with recurring freight needs across verticals such as furniture/interior design (Senab), electronics (DeltaNordic), safety/lifting equipment (Gigasense), and specialty coffee (Johan & Nyström). The company reports 1,000+ customers with high demands, 100M SEK in revenue by 2020, and 30%+ revenue growth in 2021. It remains bootstrapped with the two founders still acting as owners and operating leads (transport partners and sustainability for Nordlöf; major accounts and integrations for Norell), with no disclosed external investment.

Revenue model

1. Freight Forwarding Services: Fraktus acts as a freight broker/forwarder, aggregating shipping demand from business customers and negotiating preferential rates with transport carriers. They earn revenue through the margin between negotiated bulk rates and individual customer pricing. Revenue is generated through transaction fees built into the freight pricing rather than explicit commissions.
2. Climate Compensation: Climate compensation services are included as part of the standard offering for most shipments. Over 99% of freight is climate compensated at no extra cost to customers. For high-impact transports like urgent air freight, customers can opt to cover the compensation cost separately.

Direct peers

• Forto: European digital freight forwarder offering a tech-enabled platform for booking and managing shipments across ocean, air, and road. Directly comparable to Fraktus in B2B aggregator model, though larger and with stronger engineering org and venture backing.
• Flexport: Global digital freight forwarder combining forwarding services with proprietary software for shippers. Closest analog to Fraktus's technology-augmented forwarding model, but at much larger scale and focused primarily on international containerized freight.
• Seko Logistics: Tech-forward global freight forwarder with multi-modal services (air, ocean, road) and focus on SMB and mid-market shippers. Matches Fraktus's B2B aggregator approach with similar carrier-network breadth.

Broad incumbents

• DSV A/S: Largest Nordic-headquartered freight forwarder with global air, sea, and road operations. Comparable to Fraktus in road and air freight offerings but at vastly larger scale and full ownership of transportation assets.
• NTG Nordic Transport Group: Nordic-based asset-light freight forwarder operating across road, sea, and air through acquired specialist brands. Comparable to Fraktus in Nordic focus and multi-modal offering but with M&A-driven scale and direct carrier operations.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Global freight forwarder providing road, sea, and air services through centralized digital platforms. Comparable to Fraktus's aggregator model in principle but at enterprise and global scale, including integrated customs and contract logistics.
• Maersk Logistics & Services: Integrated logistics arm of Maersk providing end-to-end forwarding across ocean, road, and air. Comparable broad multi-modal capability set as Fraktus, but vertically integrated with ocean carrier capacity versus Fraktus's asset-light model.

Emerging players

• iContainers: Digital ocean freight platform enabling B2B shippers to compare and book FCL/LCL rates online. Shares Fraktus's online freight-rate comparison and booking DNA, though narrower in modal coverage (ocean-focused).
• Eurosender: European digital freight marketplace that aggregates carrier rates for B2B parcel, pallet, and freight shipments. Comparable aggregator model to Fraktus, with similar self-service booking portal and price-comparison interface.

Regional players

• Worldwide Express: US-based B2B freight broker focused on parcel, LTL, and truckload services through carrier partnerships with UPS and others. Mirrors Fraktus's B2B SMB-focused brokerage plus carrier-aggregator structure, but North American instead of Nordic.
