Barkfors Appoints Magnus Berg as New CTO

Barkfors, part of the software group Progrits, has appointed Magnus Berg as its new operational CTO. In this role he will lead the technical development of the company’s core product, the T5 transport planning system.

Magnus Berg brings just over 20 years of experience in senior software development roles. He spent nearly a decade at Axis Communications, where he led global development projects. He later served as Head of Development at the digital healthcare provider Min Doktor and most recently worked at Consafe Logistics, focusing on solutions and operations within transport and logistics.

“I am very pleased to welcome Magnus to Barkfors and the Progrits group. As CTO he will work both operationally and strategically with the development team to strengthen current functionality in T5 while guiding the long-term technical roadmap with a focus on future-proofing and product development. Magnus brings strong technical expertise in cloud and data and extensive experience building successful teams, which will be a valuable asset as we create even more efficient transport flows for our customers,” says Jerker Bäcklin, CEO of Barkfors.

Barkfors is headquartered in Malmö and develops the market-leading T5 transport planning system. T5 is used to digitize, optimize and plan complete logistics flows for large haulers as well as courier and waste management companies.

“I’m excited to continue working in the logistics sector and to join a well-known company like Barkfors. The company is undergoing an exciting transformation with a clear focus on growth and product development—an experience I recognize from previous roles. I hope to contribute relevant experience and perspectives, and I already see that the team has the right mix of skills to build an effective development organization that can be proud of its deliveries,” says Magnus Berg.
