Across the vast landscapes of northern Sweden, the name Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord is synonymous with excellence in temperature-controlled logistics. As one of the top three leaders in the Swedish reefer market, they face the daily challenge of navigating extreme geographical conditions, with distribution routes often stretching over 300 kilometers in one direction. On top of that, the company is committed to achieving 100% fossil-free fuels by 2027 — so they’re always looking for innovative ways to enhance efficiency and service quality without compromising on their green focus.
After more than 15 years of successfully operating with ZF’s previous fleet management solution, Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord decided it was time to take the next step. Building on the trust established over years of collaboration, they chose to migrate to the new SCALAR Fleet Orchestration Platform — a next-gen fleet management solution designed to tackle the growing complexity of modern logistics operations. The need to have all their critical fleet data under one digital roof was a key driver behind Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord’s decision. By consolidating information on driver behavior, route performance, and temperature control into a single, easy-to-use system, they aimed to reduce operational complexity and gain a clearer, real-time overview of their fleet performance.
One of the most compelling reasons why Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord chose SCALAR was that it enabled them to replace a patchwork of four to five different systems with a single, integrated solution. Before SCALAR, they were managing separate platforms for truck tracking, trailer data, temperature monitoring, and driver behavior — which created unnecessary friction and inefficiencies. With SCALAR, they now have everything in one place — one interface, one data stream, one provider. The result? Streamlined operations, higher responsiveness, improved decision-making, and long-term scalability.
Since the switch, the teams at Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord have been reporting a far easier navigation experience and a significant boost in system performance. These immediate improvements have allowed them to focus more time and energy on what truly matters: delivering top-tier service to their customers.
“SCALAR has given us a new level of control and simplicity in our daily work,” says Jon Widell, CEO of Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord. “It’s exactly the kind of future-proof solution we needed to support our growth and sustainability ambitions.”
Looking ahead, Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord is particularly excited about upcoming features like ECO-driving gamification as well as Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) reporting. Providing a standardized method for measuring and reporting logistics-related CO₂ emissions, this valuable feature will help companies track their sustainability progress and meet international climate goals — further enhancing their sustainability and driver engagement initiatives.
With the strong success of the initial migration, Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord is now considering expanding SCALAR to its daughter company, which operates a similar setup with over 200 trucks and trailers. The future is bright, and SCALAR is proud to stand as Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord’s trusted digital partner on their journey toward even greater efficiency and greener logistics.
“We’re incredibly proud of the collaboration we have built with Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord,” says Mads Hansen, Country Leader SCALAR Nordics. “Their forward-looking mindset and high operational standards inspire us to keep delivering the best digital solutions for the logistics industry. Our local team remains committed to supporting Kyl- och Frysexpressen Nord’s ambitious goals and opening new doors together in the demanding, ever-evolving world of temperature-controlled transport.“
