Enschede/Voorst, 20 October 2026. Bricklog, the BI and data specialist focused on business control for Transport & Logistics, and Artific, the Dutch AI platform for organisations, are entering into a strategic partnership. The two companies are combining their propositions into one new proposition, built specifically for the transport sector. It gives hauliers an answer to a question that comes up more and more often: how do you see the scenarios and long-term effects of the decisions you have to make today?
The question from the sector
Hauliers make decisions under time pressure every day. About customers, rates, trips, the use of vehicles and equipment, people and partners, and changing laws and regulations. A choice seems quickly made, but it works through for months in margins, customer relationships and capacity.
For years, Bricklog has given hauliers integrated management information every day, based on primary data from their TMS, on-board computer and other source systems. Artific adds AI agents and assistants that use that reliable data to think ahead. So you see not only what happened yesterday, but also what a decision made today will mean six months from now.
Trust your data first
This new proposition is about trust. If you want AI to help think through strategic choices, you first have to be able to trust your own data. Bricklog and Artific work to the highest security standards:
- The data stays the haulier’s.
- Data is stored in the Netherlands and kept strictly separate.
- Data is never used to train AI models.
Hubert Benneker, CTO and founder of Bricklog
“Bricklog grew with BI reports and analyses on a heavily modelled data platform, with a strong emphasis on data and process quality. We have always held security in high regard. That is exactly why we chose Artific. Artific enables us to offer our service, combined with AI, securely, with and for our customers. We are not distracted by the rapid technological development of all the language models. Artific takes on that role. That way, we can offer agents and assistants in our BI and analytics software and keep developing them with the latest techniques.”
Ivo Rupert, CEO of Artific
“Bricklog knows the transport sector like no other and has its data quality in order. That is exactly the foundation AI needs to be truly useful,” says Ivo Rupert, CEO of Artific. “We make sure the platform underneath stays secure, predictable and transparent, whichever language model you use. That lets Bricklog focus entirely on what it does best: helping hauliers steer on margins.”
