Most logistics companies run an accounting package with a logistics module bolted on, then spend their lives translating between the two. Flikma was built the other way around: the shipment is the centre, and the ledger simply follows it.
If your biggest cost is a person retyping documents, and your biggest risk is a missed ZATCA deadline, you are using the wrong category of software.
Not the invoice. Not the spreadsheet. The job file is the record of what happened, and every document, charge and ledger entry hangs off it. When something does not add up, there is one place to look.
Humans should verify, not transcribe. Every document entering your business has been transcribed by someone, at some point, usually twice. AI removes that step entirely and leaves the human judgement where it is actually valuable.
ZATCA Phase 2 is a legal obligation, not a competitive feature to be upsold. It is in the base product, on the free plan, because a Saudi company should never have to ask whether compliance is switched on.
Flikma has no warehouse module, because most of our customers do not run one and paying for put-away logic you never touch is a tax on your business. We would rather be a precise fit than a bloated one.
The categories below are the ones logistics teams tell us matter most. If your current system handles these well, keep it — genuinely.
The "typical alternative" column reflects the feedback of forwarders who came to us from other systems. Your mileage will vary — that is what the demo is for.
Aggregate figures reported by customers after their first full quarter on Flikma. Individual results vary by volume and process.
"The scan feature paid for itself in the first month. Our admin used to spend two full days a week typing carrier invoices. Now she reviews them."
"Month-end used to take nine days. The last close took two, and I did not have to rebuild a single spreadsheet to get there."
"I can see the margin on a job while it is still moving, not when it is finished. That one change has altered how we price."
A forwarder's data reveals your customers, your carriers, your rates and your margins. Losing it, or leaking it, is an existential event. These are the controls we run.
Dedicated tenancy in a Saudi-region data centre.
Available on Enterprise for regulated customers.
Exportable history for internal and external audit.
SAML single sign-on and mandatory 2FA on Enterprise.
The scariest part of changing freight software is not the software — it is the fear of losing a decade of job history and outstanding customer balances. That is the part we take off you.
Most forwarders tell us the migration was the least stressful part of the project. The nervous part before it is completely normal.
