CtrlChain

You check your grocery receipt.
 
Twice-charged item?
Discount missing?
Something you didn’t buy?
 
You probably wouldn’t just pay and move on.
 
Now imagine doing that with hundreds or thousands of transport invoices every month.
 
Different rates. Fuel surcharges. Waiting time. Extra stops. Additional services.
 
And the information you need to check them is often sitting across systems, spreadsheets, emails and shipment records.
 
That’s why freight invoice auditing matters.
 
In our latest blog, we break down what to check, where errors happen and how automation can help your team spend less time checking invoices and more time acting on exceptions.

8 years of CtrlChain. 🎂

Last Friday, we celebrated 8 years of building, learning, growing and figuring out better ways to move freight.

A lot has changed since day one. New people, new markets, new products, new challenges and plenty of lessons along the way.

But one thing hasn’t changed: we’re still curious about what’s next.

And of course, no birthday is complete without cake. (And somehow, the cake gets better every year. 😋 )

8 years down, and we’re just getting started.

Happy 8th birthday, CtrlChain! 💚

We can optimize the route.
Predict the ETA.
Track the load.
Improve the plan.
 
But no system drives the truck.
 
People do.
 
This National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, we’re giving some well-deserved credit to the people who make every plan actually happen: the drivers.
 
To our carrier partners and all the drivers behind the wheel: thank you for keeping freight moving, one mile at a time.
 
Because logistics can be managed on a screen.
Deliveries still happen on the road.

A Friday with only two tasks on your calendar?

Not a dream.

Just better transport management.

Cargo theft in Spain increased 152% in June.

And across Europe, supply chain crime incidents rose by 41.6% in the same month.

The numbers are a reminder that shipment security
doesn’t stop at the warehouse or the truck door.

Visibility matters throughout the journey.

Because the sooner you know something is wrong, the sooner you can act.

September just started.

And while everyone’s getting back into work mode, peak season is already getting started in logistics.

Black Friday? Still months away.

But food volumes, vaccine distribution and retail inventory are already putting pressure on European supply chains.

So, if you thought peak season starts in November… think again.

The earlier you prepare, the fewer surprises you’ll have later.

Think Europe’s logistics peak season starts with Black Friday? Think again.
 
By November, food producers are already shipping seasonal volumes, pharmaceutical companies are distributing vaccines and winter medicines, and retailers have been building inventory for weeks.
 
For most European shippers, the real peak season logistics begins in mid-September and can extend into early January.
In our latest blog post, we explore why waiting until November is often too late and what companies can do to prepare for months of increased demand.
 
You’ll find the 2026 peak season logistics calendar, the seven most common planning mistakes, and practical recommendations for food, pharmaceutical and high value cargo.
 
If your business depends on time critical or temperature sensitive shipments, early planning is essential to secure qualified capacity, maintain visibility and reduce risk throughout the busiest months of the year.
