These are the advantages for freight forwarders
The TIMOCOM Security Net stands for transparency, protection and competence in business relationships. We take great care to ensure that our members meet certain requirements in order to provide you with a high level of security. All users undergo a comprehensive check before signing the contract.
From planning to execution to invoicing, the TIMOCOM Marketplace offers you complete transport management under one roof. In this way, you can use your valuable time effectively and increase your turnover.
How TIMOCOM helps forwarders solve typical challenges
Find tenders for recurring transports
Offer freight or vehicle space on our freight exchange
Vehicle tracking – a win-win situation
By sharing your vehicles' GPS data with your customers, they know where their goods are at all times. Not only does this build trust. It also helps you keep track of your shipments.
Get the exact route to your destination and calculate the exact costs
Route planning and calculation is often a challenge. Different types of vehicles, restrictions on heavy goods vehicles as well as toll roads all have an impact on the route and thus also on the transport costs. With TIMOCOM, you can determine the route of the respective trip directly from a freight offer, transport order or a tender and calculate the resulting travel and ancillary costs.
Manage transport orders centrally and digitally
Centralised data collection and digital management of all transport orders allows you to communicate easily and in real time with all your business partners in 27 languages. It improves the efficiency of your processes by reducing paper-based work, eliminating misunderstandings and duplicate entries. You have access to all relevant information at all times, enabling you to make decisions faster and share them with your business partners.
Over 53,000 customers in our international network already rely on TIMOCOM
"With the TIMOCOM Marketplace we can search for or offer vehicles throughout Europe and thus avoid empty runs. If, in rare cases, there are defaulters, TIMOCOM's Debt Collection service is there to help".
