Swedish logistics platform Alrik raises €7m to build global OS for construction industry

Swedish startup Alrik has secured new investment to accelerate its mission of transforming construction logistics, raising fresh funding led by Nordic VC People Ventures and with further backing from existing investor Pi Labs.

The new capital brings the company’s total raised to €7 million.

Alrik is building what it describes as the global construction logistics operating system, a connected platform that unites suppliers, merchants, carriers, truck drivers and construction sites. Already a dominant player in the Nordics with customers including Saint-Gobain, Byggmax, Renta, Sonsab, XL-Bygg and Karl Hedin, the startup is now expanding across northern Europe.

“Think of Alrik as the Doordash for building material merchants,” said founder and CEO Nici Sundén-Cullberg. “We take care of the messy logistics so our customers can focus on selling and serving construction sites.”

Co-founder and chief product officer Axel Enblad said the platform replaces analogue workflows and fragmented systems with an integrated digital infrastructure. “We automate dispatching, optimise transport sourcing, manage invoicing, and connect seamlessly with ERPs, carriers, drivers and job sites,” he said.

Construction is a €15 trillion industry, with an estimated 10% of spend tied up in logistics — much of which still relies on manual processes and phone calls. Alrik’s software platform streamlines these operations, offering features such as automated emissions tracking and full invoicing integration. On average, customers report a 25% reduction in logistics costs per delivery.

Usage has surged over the past year, with revenue and app activity increasing more than tenfold. Monthly shipments through the platform have soared from 2,000 to over 25,000. With each merchant able to connect to a growing ecosystem of thousands of carriers and over 100,000 unique construction sites, the network effects are compounding rapidly.

“Alrik is solving one of the construction industry’s biggest friction points,” said Dhruv Gupta of Pi Labs. “They’re not just optimising logistics — they’re unlocking new revenue opportunities and building a future-ready ecosystem.”

Thérèse Mannheimer at People Ventures agreed, calling Alrik’s SaaS model “smart, scalable and built for the long haul”. The company was recently named Sweden’s Most Innovative Software Company of 2024 by Breakit.

The new funding will be used to further develop Alrik’s product and go-to-market strategy, supporting its enterprise customers as it expands further into key markets across Europe.
