What Logistikpartner Aps does

LogistikPartner ApS is a Danish private limited company (ApS) founded in 2005 by Jens Peter Hartung, operating as a family-owned B2B logistics consulting firm headquartered in Gråsten, Denmark, with additional offices in Aarhus (Denmark) and Flensburg (Germany), and employing 10-12 specialists. The firm advises European industrial and manufacturing clients with material freight costs on transport optimization, freight tendering and carrier selection, invoice control, warehouse management, and full logistics outsourcing, with reported customer savings typically in the 10-30% range and a cumulative track record of 350+ completed freight projects. Its primary customers are Northern European manufacturers and industrial firms (e.g., Welldana, BouMatic, Dan-Foam, OJ Electronics, Fyns Kran Udstyr, Frøslev Træ), most of which operate multi-country European supply chains.

LogistikPartner's proprietary technology is Fr8Partner, a web-based freight management software tool offered through a wholly-owned sister company (Fr8Partner, "pronounced FreightPartner"). Fr8Partner is individually customized per client and provides cross-border price transparency across land, air, and sea transport modes, including multi-currency handling, conversion factors, fees, insurance, and terms, along with integrated freight-invoice verification and control. The platform is the operational backbone for the firm's tendering work and is also sold as a standalone tool to clients seeking self-serve freight comparison and audit.

The firm runs a performance-based consulting fee model tied directly to realized client savings ("no savings, no invoice"), layered with a recurring-software revenue stream through Fr8Partner. Go-to-market is direct B2B consulting: prospects are met on-site, operations are analyzed, tenders are run, and the firm negotiates with transport providers on the client's behalf. Multilingual Danish/English/German website content, a substantial case-study library, and a 20-year reference network function as the primary demand-generation assets. In January 2025, founder Jens Peter Hartung's son Nikolaj joined as Project Manager, formally beginning a generational leadership transition.
