10 Questions on Freight Marketplace

FAQ

What is the difference between Transporeon Freight Marketplace and freight exchange platforms?

Transporeon Freight Marketplace is a procurement platform connecting shippers, LSPs and carriers. Unlike freight exchange platforms, which primarily serve the spot market and focus on single shipments, Transporeon Freight Marketplace specialises in ‘mini-bids’. These mini-bids consist of single-lane tenders for specific contractual periods and precise volume commitments.

Moreover, while freight exchange platforms typically cater to forwarders and carriers, Transporeon Freight Marketplace offers shippers the opportunity to post tenders. This enables carriers to directly bid on tenders and secure business from shippers.

In summary, Transporeon Freight Marketplace is designed to build a curated network of shippers, carriers and LSPs, emphasising contractual agreements. In contrast, freight exchange platforms operate as open marketplaces, facilitating quick load bookings and targeting a broader range of participants.

Can I act as both a shipper and a carrier on the platform?

Yes, you can. If that's your preference, please inform us, and we will configure your company in the system as both a shipper (a company interested in tendering loads) and a carrier (a company searching for loads).

Why is there partial information in some tenders, with shipper name and full post codes not displayed?

Shippers do not always want to disclose their name and tender information to all carriers on the platform. When they choose this option, they decide to conceal certain information, which means you won't see the shipper's name and the complete postcodes of the loading and unloading destinations. However, you will still have access to all other information necessary for calculating a price and submitting a bid for the tender. Shippers will then have the opportunity to review your offer and if they are interested, they can award the business to you.

Is it possible to receive email notifications for tenders only, based on the routes of interest defined in our profile and not for all the others?

Unfortunately, this is currently not possible. You can only enable or disable email notifications for all the new tenders published on the platform, regardless of the routes of interest you set up in your profile.

Does Transporeon bear responsibility in the event that the customer fails to make payment?

No, Transporeon does not bear any responsibility for that. We solely provide the technology to facilitate communication between carriers and shippers. The contractual agreement between the carrier and the shipper is beyond the scope of Transporeon. Similarly, any matters related to the execution of the loads fall within the purview of the shipper and the carrier.

Is the Freight Marketplace platform free of charge?

The platform is currently free of charge. However, in the near future, a monthly subscription fee will be introduced. When this change takes effect, you will see it clearly within the platform and you will be notified by email.

How can I add new users to my company account if some of my colleagues want to join the platform?

To invite a colleague to the Freight Marketplace platform, please send an email to info@freight.trimble.com with the following information: company name, the full name of the person, and their email address. A representative from the Transporeon Customer Care Team will create an account based on the provided information, and the individual will receive an email notification to access the platform.

Alternatively, your colleague can also directly sign up here: https://marketplace.eu.trimble-transportation.com. We will then receive a notification, set up an account for them , and they will then receive an email notification letting them know that they can now access the platform.

When bidding on a tender, how will I receive feedback on whether the offer was accepted or rejected by the shipper?

Once a shipper accepts or rejects your bids, you will be notified by email. To ensure you receive these notifications, please ensure that email notifications are enabled in the ‘User settings’ section of the platform.

As a carrier, can I describe my business and the services I offer?

Certainly. We have a dedicated section within the platform called ‘My profile’ where you can provide detailed information about your services. By completing your profile, you'll make it easier for potential buyers to find you and learn about your business. A complete profile will distinguish you from your competitors and increase your visibility among shippers seeking specific expertise and requirements like yours.

What can I expect after my bid is accepted by a shipper?

Once your bid is accepted, the shipper will contact you via the email address provided to discuss the load requirements and finalize details, such as the start date and the commencement of load deliveries.

Is the Freight Marketplace platform available for all modes of transportation?

Currently, Freight Marketplace is limited to FTL road and intermodal transport. Future expansion to other modes is planned.

Can I exchange documents and messages via the platform?

Not at the moment. However, this functionality is planned for the future and you will be notified once it becomes available.
