Committing to efficiency and sustainability by partnering with Riege Software

At Hacklin Logistics, we are committed to delivering efficient and sustainable logistics solutions worldwide. Recently, we partnered with Riege Software to implement their advanced Transport Management System (TMS), Scope. This decision was driven by our dedication to improving efficiency and meeting the evolving demands of our customers.

Scope’s features, including its automation capabilities and environmental impact monitoring, enhance our operations and support us in our journey towards more sustainable logistics practices.

Commitment to Sustainability

At Hacklin Logistics, we prioritize sustainability in our logistics practices. We are committed to implementing eco-friendly practices and reducing our carbon footprint. By integrating sustainable solutions into our operations, we aim to contribute positively to the environment while maintaining high standards of service for our customers.

Global Transportation Demands

To provide the best service to our customers, we regularly evaluate and revalidate our processes. It became clear that a new Transport Management System (TMS) was essential to maintain top-quality service for our customers. We needed a new solution to meet the evolving demands.

The Positive Feedback Was the Decisive Factor

During our search for a new TMS, our leadership team, including Mikael Grönroos, Managing Director of Hacklin Group, and Marianne Blechingberg, Managing Director of Hacklin Logistics, were determined to find a solution that would truly elevate our logistics operations.

Motivated to improve efficiency and meet customer demands, we received strong recommendations about Scope from other users. Intrigued by the feedback, we conducted an in-depth evaluation and detailed presentations, quickly realizing that Scope was the perfect fit for our needs.

The software Scope plays a significant role in helping logistics companies enhance their sustainability efforts. It includes features that allow logistics providers to monitor their environmental impact and lower their carbon footprint. Its advanced features, automation capabilities, and seamless integration made it the ideal choice to tackle our challenges.

Without hesitation, we decided to implement Scope, setting the stage for an improvement in our logistics operations.

“We heard positive feedback about Scope from persons who had used the TMS and started to check on it in detail.”

Easy to Use

We have been working with Scope for just over two months. The training courses have been successfully completed, but there is still much to discover within this comprehensive software. However, Marianne and Mikael are already confident that working with Scope continuously makes our operations even more efficient.

“The fantastic thing is, that the job costing function is already working. It enables the operation to discover faults or failures already at that stage, so it doesn’t have to go all the way to the controller to discover something that is maybe wrong in job costing. The job costing function is wonderful.” –

From the first presentation to the implementation process, Sascha Plath, Director of Global Operations at Riege Software, was always at our side. Summarizing the journey with Hacklin, Sascha said:

“The implementation process went very smoothly as Mikael and Marianne dedicated a great team of operations and accounting staff to be part of the process right from the beginning. Additionally, they had some colleagues already working with Scope previously, which gave them a great advantage too.

The contact with Marianne, Mikael, and the full team was wonderful and welcoming straight away and continued to be very friendly and efficient on both sides. I enjoy the ongoing cooperation very much and appreciate the great knowledge they provide to us. Bonus is, that they seem very happy with their new TMS solution Scope too.”

Welcome to the Scope Community

“Don’t be afraid of changing your TMS. It was really easy to get used to, and Scope is working very well without hiccups.”

– Marianne Blechingberg, Managing Director of Hacklin Logistics

“The cooperation with Sascha and the whole Scope team at Riege Software has been really easy, friendly, and helpful from the very beginning, which has made the implementation and learning process much easier.” – Mikael Grönroos

Even though we are still in the early stages of using Scope, we have no regrets about switching to Riege’s digital standard. Surprised by the easy and logical use of Scope, we are excited to explore further features and functions. We are also happy to join the Scope Community and look forward to continuing this insightful collaboration.

“Personal highlight for me was to meet the full crew of Hacklin Logistics in Helsinki during the live start of Scope in September 2024. Even though one might expect panic and stress during a rollout of that magnitude, changing to a new TMS, Marianne, Mikael, and their staff were very calm and enthusiastic to finally work with Scope.

But then again, they were prepared so well and happy to finally use all features in Scope. Therefore, nothing could go wrong as expected!” said Sascha Plath, Director of Global Operations, about the cooperation with Hacklin.
