PostNord TPL (the Swedish Post), a subsidiary within the PostNord Group, is Sweden’s largest 3PL-company, and one of the biggest 3PL businesses in Scandinavia. Over the last couple of years their business has grown significantly, and with that multiple new warehouse sites have been added to their operation. Furthermore, they have acquired numerous new clients, all with different needs.
In 2016, PostNord TPL came to a point where they had grown out of one of their current WMS solutions and needed to invest in a new WMS platform. Consequently, they started a comprehensive optimisation project that included moving over several of their 3PL DC’s to a new, centralised WMS application, which harmonises their IT landscape and improves their business. PostNord TPL wanted a solution developed on the latest technology, in addition to a WMS that allowed them to focus on their business.
After thoroughly evaluating the market leaders, PostNord TPL decided to invest in NYCE.LOGIC WMS by Extenda Retail.

Outbound area at a PostNord TPL-site in Norrköping where NYCE.LOGIC will be implemented this autumn.
The reason PostNord TPL selected NYCE.LOGIC as their partner was the system’s strength, both from a technical and operational aspect. The solution is built on the latest technology, enabling dynamic scalability, an intuitive user interface, and fast and efficient processes when adding new locations and clients to the system.
From an operative and functional perspective, the NYCE.LOGIC WMS has accelerated PostNord TPL’s warehouse operations, thanks to the system’s adaptability when it comes to parameters and support for multiple simultaneous workflows. As a result, the warehouse has now become more effective and easier to manage, enabling PostNord TPL to focus on delivering excellent service to their clients.
Birgitta Haegerstrand, IT Manager PostNord TPL, says; “We partnered with Extenda Retail as we quickly saw that the NYCE.LOGIC system was tailor-made to suit a 3PL business and its unique workflows, instead of being adjusted to it. Furthermore, the system’s robust support for e-commerce processes, and flexibility in terms of parameters and workflows proved a great advantage. We discovered that this was a modern WMS platform with an impressive roadmap, clearly showing that Extenda Retail was the right partner for us today, and in the future.”
Birgitta Haegerstrand says; “Our judgement was that the system was best of breed, covering all our WMS requirements, and foundationally intended to suit a 3PL business. There were other solutions on the market, but they required some parts of the system to be embedded into an ERP, rather than integrated with it.”
PostNord TPL is the leading 3PL-operator in Sweden and the Nordic region. We offer the Nordic market innovative and cost-effective logistics solutions that extend all the way from producer to consumer. Our customers range from the small e-commerce company to the large global player. We have warehouses in Stockholm, Norrköping, Gothenburg, Helsingborg, Ljungby and Jönköping. In 2019, we had sales of approximately SEK 2.4 billion and employed approximately 2,200 people. The total warehouse space that we have at our disposal is about 640,000 square meters
Retailer Kjell & Company, one of the most well established brands in Swedish retail, experienced a severe lack of space, and had difficulty keeping up with the fast-paced IT evolution of Warehouse Management. In 2010, they contacted NYCE.LOGIC WMS, part of the Extenda Retail Portfolio, to start a comprehensive optimisation project of their warehouse. Several years later, through optimisation and efficiency, the company has increased storage capacity by nearly 50% in the same premises.
About Kjell & Company
Kjell & Company sells accessories for home electronics and is one of Sweden’s most well-known retail brands. The company, which was established in 1988, has had rapid development and today conducts sales through 105 stores in Sweden and 20 stores in Norway, in addition to their comprehensive e-commerce platform. Today, the company has close to 2 million members in their loyalty club, and 1,000 employees.
In 2010, Kjell & Company experienced a large space shortage at its 7,000 m2 central warehouse. They used paper-based picking and fixed storage places, all while the company grew rapidly. They had various options including moving the warehouse, optimising the existing premises, or placing the warehouse with a 3PL player.
The Solution
Kjell & Company made the decision to invest in NYCE.LOGIC WMS – years later and with over 50% in increased volumes, they remain in the same warehouse. In conjunction with the implementation of NYCE.LOGIC, Pick By Voice was also started. Additionally, they have around 12 storage lifts in the warehouse.
