Carrier Premium Account

The Carrier Premium Account (CPA) is a premium subscription on the Transporeon platform for carriers and logistics service providers who want to grow their business proactively. While standard carriers can only participate in tenders they're directly invited to, CPA holders can search and apply for open tenders across the entire network, present their company to 500+ shippers, and access advanced reporting and branch office management tools.

64% of CPA applications lead to a formal RFQ invitation — making it a highly effective business development tool, not just a discovery layer. CPA users access on average 80% more tenders than standard accounts, with 10,000+ calls for bids available per year. HOPE SPED participated in 350+ tenders and won approximately 10% of them using CPA, directly attributing new customer wins to proactive tender discovery.

The Carrier Premium Account is priced at €29.90/month, with a one-month free trial available for new subscribers. There are no per-seat charges — the account covers the full organization including branch offices participating in allocated RFQs. A single new lane won through a CPA-discovered tender typically pays back the subscription many times over, making it a low-risk growth investment for carriers of any size.

Premium carriers can search and filter open freight tenders they weren't directly invited to, using filters for transport mode, trade lanes, and equipment type. When a relevant tender is found, carriers can apply for participation with a single click. This transforms carrier business development from a passive, invitation-only model into an active, systematic approach — carriers identify tenders that match their capacity and routes rather than waiting for shippers who may not yet know them.

Carrier in the Spotlight is a built-in marketing tool within CPA: premium carriers can present their company with individual texts and images, displayed to shipper customers across the Transporeon platform. Placements rotate randomly across the shipper base, giving carriers organic exposure to new potential customers without additional marketing spend. Combined with increased visibility in Transporeon's public logistics provider search, CPA provides a passive inbound channel alongside active tender discovery.

The low offer density lanes feature shows carriers which lanes currently have fewer competitor quotations than average — surfacing markets where competition is thin and the probability of winning is higher. Rather than competing head-to-head on busy lanes, carriers can identify routes where their capacity is genuinely scarce and price accordingly. This is particularly valuable during market downturns when carriers need to fill capacity creatively beyond their standard lane portfolio.

Headquarters with a CPA can independently re-allocate RFQs and RFIs to their branch offices and manage participation on their behalf — regardless of whether individual branches hold their own CPA. This eliminates the communication overhead and missed opportunities that come from managing multi-location tender participation manually. Custom reports aggregate participation data across all branches, giving multi-site carriers a centralized view and control of their entire tender pipeline.

CPA includes three key export capabilities: Custom Reports — a full Excel export of all RFQs and RFIs the company and its branches participated in or applied for, across any date range; Additional Export Functionality including Rankings — offer matrices with ranking data that can be merged and re-uploaded; and Event Archive Export — a full ZIP archive of completed RFQs and RFIs including logbooks, attachments, comments, and submitted offers for compliance and audit documentation.

Carriers are most vulnerable when existing shippers reduce volumes and incoming invitations dry up. CPA is designed as a counter-cyclical tool: proactive tender search means carriers can actively seek new shipper relationships and open lanes precisely when their capacity needs filling, rather than waiting passively for the market to recover. With 10,000+ calls for bids per year across the network, there is consistently available volume to pursue regardless of what existing customers are doing.

The Carrier Premium Account is part of Transporeon's Carrier Loyalty Program — the broader framework through which Transporeon rewards carriers who engage deeply with the platform. It sits alongside Freight Audit SelfService for billing and invoice management and Transport Assignment for operational execution. For carriers already active on Transporeon, CPA is the most direct lever for expanding the commercial side of their platform relationship.
