About Chainfill

We take the retyping out of logistics.

Chainfill is one platform that turns emails, documents and EDI messages into checked orders in your TMS, WMS or ERP. Logistics companies across Europe run their orders through it.

Meet the team

Who we are.

Chainfill started with a problem founder Finn Loots ran into himself in logistics: orders arriving by email, PDF or Excel and being retyped into the system by hand.

Together with co-founder Yorick de Jong, who builds the AI, we started by reading transport orders. Today Chainfill also processes EDI messages, answers customer questions and sends statuses back to partners. The team only handles the exceptions.

From our headquarters in Haarlem we work for logistics companies across Europe. When a customer asks for a new integration or a change to their process, it is often live within a few days.
