Our Purpose: Bringing transportation in sync with the world

The Transporeon journey started 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 focus is on digitalising and transforming transportation for all. 

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

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. 

FREIGHT SOURCING HUB
A structured and scalable way to source the right partners for your spot, seasonal and long-term contracts.
 

DOCK & YARD MANAGEMENT HUB

DATA HUBS

Collaboration generates greater operational efficiencies and positive ecological benefits, particularly for processes related to 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. Transporeon connects shippers and carriers and provides network-wide interoperability. As a part of our network, customers value that interoperability – the opportunity to do business with partners they have never met before.

Now we have way more control over our transports – we know our orders are being placed with the right carriers, we’re cutting our CO2 emissions, and we’re achieving new levels of operational efficiency at our sites.

Transporeon Visibility Hub is the perfect match to achieve our goal of a fully transparent process from order to delivery.

Brian Moran

Logistics Manager UK, Knauf UK

Transporeon's truck border crossing times map is used by thousands of professionals in the industry. I am sure it will help create the necessary visibility, drive better operational decisions and contribute to addressing congestions. All this is required to ensure product availability on the shelf despite the challenges of COVID-19.

Sergiy Yablonskiy

Senior Product Manager for Transportation, Nestlé

Transporeon’s Dynamic time slots project will enable us to make full use of all real-time data. A dedicated algorithm is able to automatically check and detect deliveries with a delayed estimated time of arrival (ETA) and switch booked time slots with trucks which are already on site. This dynamic adaptation will allow us to utilize the available resources within the plants in the best possible way.

Matching freight demand with capacity is becoming increasingly challenging, especially in today’s volatile environment. Carriers are rejecting up to a quarter of all contract loads, forcing more Shippers into the spot market. The solution to this imbalance is an investment in network-based transport management systems. New technologies make automated freight-matching possible for both Shippers and Carriers at a whole new scale.
