Our Purpose: Bringing transportation in sync with the world

In the year 2000, Transporeon started out with a simple purpose: to connect shippers and carriers. Now more than 20 years into that journey, Transporeon has become the Transportation Management Platform, a diverse portfolio of freight applications that equally serves all participants in the network: shippers, brokers, logistics service providers, asset-based carriers as well as goods recipients. Our purpose and our focus are on digitalising and transforming transportation for all. 

Transportation is essential. Transportation is vital to the global flow of goods -- life sustaining goods. Transportation is the connective tissue linking everything, people, places and things. Transportation carries the economy on its back. But transportation is still vulnerable to unexpected changes and challenges and the last few years have shown us the chaos caused when our transportation system is knocked out of sync. 

Thanks to readily available digital support, new solutions and innovations, Transporeon continues to create efficiencies in transport execution that positively impact the economy, individual business results and the environment. Transporeon is bringing transportation in sync with our world.

Today, the Transporeon platform runs around the clock, creating value for its members. Our product teams are focused on three major tenets that drive our innovation and strategy: Automation, Real-Time Insights and Collaboration.

AUTOMATION  

Automation enables data-driven decision making within a collaborative, connected network using optionality, past patterns, present data and future predictions. 

Transporeon optimises both economic and ecological outcomes by continuously adding smart automation into the platform. We help users to get better answers faster and, in some cases, allow for ‘hands-free’ decision-making. Now you can move past collecting data from the transactions executed and start generating transactions from the data available.  

REAL-TIME INSIGHTS  

Real-time insights ensure that business processes run smoother, with less friction, less economic and ecological waste. 

Control is at the heart of optimisation. The ability to make the right decisions at the right time, and having the right insights at your fingertips. Whether it is visibility into CO2 emissions, access to spot rates, an overview of capacity or simple ETAs for a transport, real-time insights combined with execution capabilities enable enterprise to predict future states, intervene in real-time when things go wrong and take control of the efficiency of their operations. 

COLLABORATION  

Collaboration generates greater operational efficiencies and positive ecological benefits, particularly for processes around dock scheduling, freight matching and audit/settlement actions  

At the beginning of our journey in 2000, we learned that connectivity is just a starting point. We connect shippers and carriers and provide network-wide interoperability. Customers on our platform, as a part of our network, are looking for interoperability – the opportunity to do business with partners they have never met before. 

Transportation is the connective tissue joining everything

Everyone needs a purpose in life: A north star, a raison d'être, a compelling vision. At Transporeon, ours is to bring transportation in sync with the world.  

Transporeon joined the Trimble family in 2023. Trimble is an industrial technology company transforming the way the world works by delivering solutions that enable our customers to thrive. Core technologies in positioning, modelling, connectivity and data analytics connect the digital and physical worlds to improve productivity, quality, safety, transparency and sustainability. From purpose-built products to enterprise lifecycle solutions, Trimble is transforming industries such as agriculture, construction, geospatial and transportation. 

Both companies are committed to transforming  industries and have a deep understanding that challenges lie in the spaces between companies. The strengths and history of both companies are so complementary that the prospect of joining forces means that together, we will be so much better.

Our History

2022

In January 2022 Transporeon kicked off the year with a strategic partnership with Freightos, the global freight booking platform, adding key data feeds to extend its market intelligence reach and depth. Later in the year an alliance with UTA Edenred introduced the availability of a co-branded fuel card to Transporeon’s community of operators. Innovation was in full flow during the year with the launch of Carbon Visibility, additional capability added to Real Time Yard Management and the introduction of Freight Matching for Forwarders. Two further acquisitions took place early in the year with the addition of SupplyStack, a key player in transportation management, and Nexogen, a leading operative in the LSP market for fleet optimisation. Then later in the year Transporeon acquired Tracks, a start up focused on sustainability with a key product offering sophisticated carbon calculation algorithms. To end a busy year Transporeon announced that Trimble, an industrial technology company transforming the way the world works, were to acquire them to strengthen and accelerate their connect and scale strategy, particularly in their transportation division.

2021

In January Transporeon partners with Peripass to offer enhanced Yard Management solutions and bridge the gap between the road and the loading dock. At the same time, Real-time Yard Management enters the pilot phase. Combining Time Slot Management with Real-Time Visibility information allows dynamic rebooking of time slots and provides a real-time view of yard activities. In June Transporeon acquired TNX Logistics. TNX provides autonomous spot freight procurement services. Their technology optimizes spot buying by reducing costs and increasing efficiency, with Artificial Intelligence leading pricing and decision-making. It is used by some of the largest and most demanding freight forwarders, brokers and shippers across five continents. This acquisition helps Transporeon by offering cost savings - through the use of advanced technology- to shippers and forwarders. This will allow them and current customers to save more than 7% on their usual spot freight costs. In the latter part of the year Transporeon further extended its partner network with several parties including Tive, a leading in-transit visibility provider, Roambee, a sensor-driven supply chain visibility leader and Zejku, a digital communications provider. In addition Transporeon advanced its sustainability initiatives with a commitment to climate neutrality and a focus on the Fit for 55 program. Finally in December, a further acquisition was made with LogitOne ensuring Transporeon’s future capability in ocean execution and visibility.

2020

Transporeon celebrates its 20th anniversary. Today, the company is one of the world’s leading logistics platforms with almost 1,000 employees in 11 offices around the world all working towards the common purpose of bringing transportation in sync with the world. In March the company launches its new logistics portal Transporeon Insights including a dashboard view of the most recent data on its platform and their market intelligence work. This is further enriched with high-quality content such as eBooks, blog posts, videos and news content from media partners. In July Transporeon becomes a member of the European Technology Platform ALICE as the first TMS provider. The members of ALICE share the same ambition of making logistics in Europe more efficient and eco-friendly through constant innovation. In September Transporeon starts creating the largest visibility-enabled network and upgrades its network to make Real Time Visibility a standard for all their shipper and carrier customers. Also, in September, the company merges with ControlPay, the European leader in Freight Audit and Payment solutions. 

2019
