The seal for certified transport companies: what is the TIMOCOM Business Partner Check?
The TIMOCOM freight exchange offers transport companies access to new transport orders — often from customers who do not yet know the service provider. The TIMOCOM Business Partner Check supports you in the selection process: with the Checked Company seal, you can present your business as a checked transport company and improve your chances of being chosen more quickly by customers. This creates greater transparency around reliability and helps you win new transport orders.

Further document checks are already in planning.
The check is free of charge. At TIMOCOM, the security of our Marketplace is our top priority. Alongside our strict admission criteria, the Business Partner Check provides additional transparency to support confident commissioning decisions.
Official documents are reviewed as part of a visual inspection. No assessment is made of other aspects of the company. These special conditions apply.
The check usually takes only a few minutes. However, in rare cases, delays may occur, for example due to technical failures. In most cases, the check should be completed within 10-15 minutes.
Authorised persons include all managing directors and decision-makers of a company, as well as all individuals who hold the power of attorney or authority to make decisions on behalf of the company.
Of course, you can revoke your consent to the Business Partner Check at any time. However, please note that by revoking it, you will lose your entitlement to the Checked Company seal. In this case, TIMOCOM GmbH will no longer be authorised to continue checking your documents. To revoke your consent, go to the document settings and click on "Revoke consent".
Once the check has been completed, you can see the status in your document overview. There are two common reasons why a document may not receive the “Checked” status:
Invalid: If your uploaded document is marked as “Invalid”, please make sure you have uploaded a current, valid document. If the document is correct but still shown as “Invalid”, please contact customer service .
Missing: If an uploaded document cannot be checked, please confirm that it is visible in your company profile.
Other TIMOCOM users can view and download your documents once they have been successfully checked.
