Entering Data Only Once
"Digitalization is new for us. We previously worked with an outdated version of a C5 accounting system that wasn’t designed to handle transport and dispatching. So, everything related to transport had to be managed separately.
For example, orders for carriers, customer confirmations, and communication with partners were handled via email, Word documents, and Excel. It involved a lot of manual work," explains Natacha Koch, who has been CEO of East Logistics since 2019 after taking over from her father, Jan Koch, the company’s founder.
East Logistics specializes in freight transport between Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, primarily working with subcontracted carriers. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the company successfully implemented a new ASPECT4 Transport system, optimizing its dispatching and accounting operations while significantly boosting profitability.
We are clearly able to handle more with the number of employees we have.

All Functions in One Seamless Flow
"The biggest advantage is that everything is gathered in one place. Once we enter data, we don’t have to do it again," says Koch.
"Now, we can create sales orders, carrier instructions, and invoices instantly—all in one seamless flow.
"Previously, we relied on multiple Excel sheets to track fleet information and dispatching details. Now, everything is integrated into ASPECT4, minimizing manual data entry. We can clearly handle more with the same number of employees," she adds.
