The intelligence layer for trade.
Trade documents, regulatory data and company knowledge — turned into intelligence people, systems and AI can act on.
The intelligence layer for trade.
Trade documents, regulatory data and company knowledge — turned into intelligence people, systems and AI can act on.
Global trade still runs on documents and human memory.
The data exists. The intelligence layer connecting it doesn't.
Trade is becoming machine-readable.
Software digitised the forms. Humans still had to interpret what was inside them. AI can now read documents, products and regulations well enough to output structured trade data.
“The next generation of trade software won't just store data. It will understand it.”
Documents in. Trade intelligence out.
Zakk understands what's being traded — and makes it usable by every downstream system.
Built by a team that has shipped together before.
AI research, enterprise engineering and commercial execution — combined with a prior software consultancy the three founders built together.
Rói Holgarsson
MSc in engineering specialising in AI. Worked on Tesla Motors projects, co-founded VOTA with Heini Zachariassen (Vivino), and has spent a decade shipping production applied-AI systems.
LinkedIn →Robert Sivertsen
Held several marketing-leadership roles before Zakk. Owns the commercial motion and the founder-led sales that got the first 14 customers live.
LinkedIn →Eiler Poulsen
Strong engineering background with 10+ years shipping robust production software at Trifork and Klintra. The enterprise engineer who keeps the platform stable as AI layers scale.

From incoming documents to structured trade intelligence — in sixty seconds.
We start where trade intelligence is hardest: customs.
Zakk already turns unstructured shipment documents into validated, declaration-ready data.

Customs is the wedge.
Trade intelligence is the platform.
One layer between trade information and the systems that act on it.
Already running inside real trade workflows.
Production metrics from active customers.
Customers aren't testing Zakk. They're using it.
Three production workflows, before and after Zakk.
6 employees tied up in manual customs clearance work.
Now 4 people run the same volume. Intelligent Weight Distribution is used on every single shipment — and the right HS codes are surfaced automatically.
Same output with fewer people, and capacity to scale.
Customs paperwork scattered across desks and inboxes — one person tied up just keeping documents organized.
One fewer person needed in customs. Invoices processed automatically and every document stored in Zakk's Document Storage.
When the authority asks, everything is in one place. Instant, stress-free compliance.
High-volume customs fed by multiple systems, dependent on rules, integrations and human expertise.
Zakk is the intelligence layer. Sanitized data flows in, customs decisions flow back into Posta's systems.
Infrastructure stays in place. Core systems become intelligent — a repeatable model for postal and freight operators.
Subscription revenue today. API revenue later.
~€6.7K MRR, zero churn, and another ~€6.7K in the immediate pipeline. Current ACV: €5.1K.
Start with customs. Expand across cross-border trade.
SMBs and mid-market teams are underserved — enterprises already run customs inside SAP and big ERPs. The UK is our biggest near-term bet: behind on document intelligence and showing early signals.
Customs brokers + freight forwarders
ACV anchored on our realised ~38K DKK today, not a guess. Nordics + Northern Europe broker/forwarder universe; UK is the first expansion beachhead.
SMB importers + mid-market trade teams
SMBs lack the SAP/ERP customs modules that enterprises rely on — they need a lightweight intelligence layer.
Trade intelligence consumed through software, APIs and agentic workflows
No TAM claimed here — sizing follows evidence, not assumption.
Bottom-up only: SMB focus avoids head-to-head ERP competition. UK is the strategic near-term bet beyond the Nordics.
Customs is moving from paper to intelligence.
Paper & EDI
Forms, faxes, edifact files. Classification is a human's job; tariff books live in drawers.
- ▸Legacy broker software
- ▸National EDI portals
- ▸In-house Excel
TMS bolt-ons
Customs as a sidecar inside the TMS. Faster forms, still manual HS. Tariff data updated quarterly.
- ▸e-AWB tools
- ▸Carrier portals
- ▸TMS plugins
Agentic, authority-grounded customs
An agentic flow that reads documents, reasons across authority data, and produces declaration-ready output — with human escalation at every uncertain step.
- ▸Agentic document-to-declaration flow
- ▸Live feeds from 7 authorities
- ▸Reasoning across HS graph
- ▸Auto-extract from any invoice
Nordic OCR/ML data capture for customs docs
