  • Print copy of the offer from the System, sent to you by your potential business partner

What you can do to keep your business clean

With the innovative, multidimensional security net, TIMOCOM ensures that your business runs smoothly. You can also increase your own security significantly with simple means and measures. Here are some tips which can help.

Fighting freight theft together

Fighting freight theft together

Check supply chains and eliminate weak points

Five corporations and institutions have collected their expertise and offer all companies and drivers in the transport business active support along the supply chain.

The goal: to raise awareness about the risk of freight theft, develop practical prevention strategies and actively provide support for implementing security measures.

Throughout Europe, freight theft costs a total of more than eight billion euros. Late or missing goods shipments often lead to production losses and order cancellations. HGV drivers are particularly at risk. Every fifth theft involves an attack in which a driver’s life is threatened.

Without concerted prevention, there is a danger that the number of thefts carried out by well organised criminal organisations will increase. The following institutions and corporations have come together at various points along the supply chain in order to support the affected companies and drivers.

  • The Landeskriminalamt (State Police) in Lower Saxony
  • The Verband für Sicherheit in der Wirtschaft Norddeutschland
    (Association for Security in Economy Northern Germany – VSWN)
  • Teleroute and TIMOCOM, market leading freight exchange providers
  • HDI-Gerling Industrie, with years of experience as an insurance broker for industry and transport

Risk-prevention strategies can be implemented in a variety of areas, for example:

  • depending on the type of load and the route, companies should use an appropriate vehicle equipped with a security system. In general, ensure that the vehicle is safe and in driving condition.
  • Transport information should not be exchanged when unauthorised third-parties are present. The smaller the number of information carriers, transport participants and interfaces along the supply chain, the lower the risk of data misuse.
  • Drivers should find fenced in and lit rest stops and parking spots, particularly for longer breaks and overnight stays. These parking spots should be prioritised during route planning.
  • No unauthorised third parties may travel in the truck during the transport. The transport should be tracked at all times, so that the driver and the control centre are always in communication.
