Transportkompetanse Haugesund

What Transportkompetanse Haugesund does

Transportkompetanse Haugesund AS is a Norwegian B2B professional services firm that has provided compliance, training, and consulting services to the transport, logistics, and contractor industries since 2007. The company operates as a subsidiary of TK Gruppen alongside sibling companies Digit Nord (digital services) and TK Kurs (training operations), and maintains a physical presence across all major Norwegian regions with 10 office and course locations stretching from Kristiansand in the south to Harstad in the north. HQ is in Haugesund; legal entity is a Norwegian private limited company (Org Nr 991 844 643). Named enterprise customers include Thor Tenden Transport AS, Diplom-Is (relationship since 2011, renewed and expanded in 2024), and Rennesøy Trafikk (since 2007).

The core service is TK Internkontroll, a recurring internal control and compliance monitoring program covering driving and rest time regulations, working hours directives, occupational health, and dangerous goods transport (ADR/RID). Adjacent offerings include Sikkerhetsrådgiver (approved dangerous goods advisory), supervision support during Statens Vegvesen inspections, the IF TK damage prevention program (launched 2018), and Driftsoptimalisering (operational optimization). Driver training is delivered through TK Kurs's YSK continuing education courses at multiple Norwegian locations, including Volvo Sjåføropplæring under a flagship partnership with Volvo Trucks Norge. Digital tools include TK Dashboard (fleet tracking, developed with sibling Digit Nord) and the TIMP competence management platform; technology integration partnerships include AdmMit for combined compliance and operational optimization.

Revenue is generated through three mechanics: recurring compliance retainers (TK Internkontroll with monthly/quarterly review cycles), professional services engagements (safety advisory, supervision support, optimization), and event-driven course fees (YSK continuing education). The company uses enterprise field sales with on-site customer visits, quote-based pricing, and multi-year contracts. Headcount is stated at 101-250 in firmographic data, though only ~12 staff are publicly listed on the company page, suggesting a large field-consultant workforce. No revenue figure is disclosed.
