GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION DEMANDS
The foundation for providing the best service to their customers is forward-thinking. For this reason, processes at Hacklin are regularly evaluated and revalidated. It became clear that a new Transport Management System (TMS) was essential to maintain top-quality service for Hacklins customers. A new solution was needed to meet the evolving demands.
THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK WAS THE DECISIVE FACTOR
During their search for a new Transport Management System (TMS), the leadership team at Hacklin, 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 their logistics operations. The motivation to improve efficiency and meet customer demands was high, and the stakes were clear. During their exploration, they received strong recommendations about Scope from other Scope users.
Intrigued by the feedback, they dove deeper into researching the platform. After an in-depth evaluation and detailed presentations, it quickly became apparent that Scope was the perfect fit for their needs. Its advanced features, automation capabilities, and seamless integration made it the ideal choice to tackle the challenges they were facing. Without hesitation, Hacklin made the decision to implement Scope, setting the stage for an improvement in their logistics operations.
“We heard positive feedback about Scope from persons who had used the TMS and started to check on it in detail.” - Mikael Grönroos, Managing Director of Hacklin Group
EASY TO USE
Today Hacklin has only been working with Scope for just over two months. The training courses have been successfully completed. But there is still a lot to discover within this comprehensive Software. However, Marianne and Mikael are already sure that working with Scope continuously makes their 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.” - Mikael Grönroos
Always at their side from the first presentation till the implementation process was Sascha Plath, Director of Global Operations at Riege Software. Summarizing the journey with Hacklin: “The implementation process went very smooth 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.:)”
“Don’t be afraid of changing your TMS. It was really easy to get use, and Scope is working very well without hiccups.” - Marianne Blechingberg
WELCOME TO THE SCOPE COMMUNITY
"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 Hacklin is still in the early stages of using Scope, they have no regrets about switching to Riege's digital standard. Surprised by the easy and logical use of Scope, they are excited to get to know further features and functions of it. We are also happy to welcome Hacklin Logistics to 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 gratitude 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.
