What Scanlog does

Scanlog is a privately held Scandinavian freight forwarding company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, with additional offices in Göteborg, Malmö, Skellefteå (Sweden) and Oslo (Norway). Founded in 2013 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company provides international transport services across four modes — air, sea, road, and rail — alongside special project cargo handling including dangerous goods. Its core product set comprises five service lines (Flyg, Sjö, Väg, Järnväg, Specialprojekt) plus a customer portal (ScanlogIn) and a publicly accessible CO2 calculator (CO2-kalkylatorn) for emissions estimation in transport planning.

The company's strategic positioning is built around "Ansvarsfull logistik" (Responsible Logistics), integrating sustainability into its business model. This is operationalized through fossil-free transport offerings (initially via sea freight, extended to global door-to-door road transport via the December 2025 partnership with Energifabriken) and an externally published annual Sustainability Report. Technology is limited to a domain-specialist CO2 calculator tool and a customer portal; no proprietary AI/ML, platform APIs, or third-party integrations are disclosed.

Scanlog's business model is a transaction-fee freight forwarding model with quote-based pricing. Customers request custom quotes through an online form, with pricing determined by cargo type, route, and transport mode, billed per shipment (pay-as-you-go). The company sells directly via its five Scandinavian offices and targets enterprise international shippers requiring multi-modal cross-border transport. Named customers are limited in public disclosure (Sproud for fossil-free sea freight of plant-based products is one example). Go-to-market is sales-led with sustainability as the primary differentiator, supported by organic content marketing across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no funding rounds or institutional investors are reported.
