Scalable and
customised cloud
solution creates secure IT growth for
TKL Logistics

Nordlo’s solution initially comprised two stages:

1. To meet TKL’s needs and create opportunities to grow, the in-house platform was adapted, and this can be expanded as the business develops.
2. A solution for the customer portal was customised based on an existing platform solution, which both met the needs of existing users and can be upscaled as new users are added.

One of the first measures was to move all of TKL’s data, systems and applications — which used to be on individual, shared remote servers — to a single cloud environment where the risks of contamination are minimised and they have good control over the whole IT infrastructure.

The existing solution was not ideal, partly because many different kinds of data and systems were stored in a shared environment, which meant that the data was exposed. In TKL’s new, cloud-based server environment, data storage has been divided up, which also means that the capacity of individual parts of the systems can be increased as required.

One concrete example of the way Nordlo was quickly able to streamline TKL’s operations was by digitalising and automating the invoice flow. At present, approximately 80,000 supplier invoices can be processed digitally and virtually, with a minimum need for staff resources.

100% of TKL’s data, systems and applications are now in the cloud, in virtual, scalable database servers known as Elastic Pools. Thanks to this elasticity in the cloud databases, the digital customer portal, which now has around 500 active users all around the world, can grow organically, while operations and security have been safeguarded through the collaboration with Nordlo.

“One of our requirements of a long-term IT partner is presence and being able to rely on the support functioning, both remotely and locally. Just like TKL, Nordlo has an office in Jönköping, which has contributed to intensifying and simplifying our collaboration,” continues Oscar Lundgren.
