Transporeon supports billions of dollars of sourcing transactions for more than 12,000 RFP events each year through its Ticontract transportation procurement platform . How do you secure your piece of this business? Simply set up an account on the Ticontract platform so that shippers can find you. It’s free for carriers and, if you provide a highly detailed profile, shippers are more likely to invite you to participate in suitable RFQs. For example, specify your preferred operational radius, available vehicle types, specializations (such as retail distribution) and more.
Take a look at our recent shipper case studies to discover some of the 1,200 companies that already use Transporeon to manage their transportation needs. To win new business, simply ask that shipper’s logistics department to activate you as a carrier on their platform. Once you have built up your own shipper network, you can bid for any new shipments that are published by these companies.
Time, knowledge and money are central resources today. Transporeon’s services save us a lot of time. We use this time to inform ourselves in the system who is inviting tenders or transport orders via ‘best carrier’. The platform has enabled us to intensify our cooperation with many customers and to grow more strongly than ever before.“
We've succeeded in optimizing our processes. Dispatchers now use their manpower more effectively and with interface solutions we have achieved a time advantage in dispatching. In our operations, our primary advantage is the use of time slot management by our customers. Our vehicle loading times are considerably reduced, enabling us to save costs"
The Transporeon solutions help us to constantly be aware of the work process even after working hours and analyze decisions that must be taken at one time. We have also set up a direct interface between Girteka Logistics and Sixfold so all our vehicles are visible and trackable in real time."
Cut costs and effort
Reduce waiting times
Level the playing field
Easier, faster payment
Manual processes are unsustainable. It takes way too long to use phones, emails, and faxes to negotiate, agree, confirm, control and administer transport orders. It is unavoidable that manual effort increases the risk of something going wrong – for example, someone may forget to log a new price or may enter incorrect or duplicate information. And because you operate in a highly dynamic environment, things constantly change but nobody enjoys going back and updating old Excel files and shipping documents.
Using digital processes reduces costs and effort. You can communicate and collaborate with shipping companies in real time. It’s easier, less stressful, and more flexible, allowing you to engage in more value-adding activities.
Our digital Time Slot Management system allows you to book your preferred loading/unloading times for each shipment. Instead of being greeted by a long line of trucks and on-site traffic congestion, punctual drivers typically experience low waiting times and a fast turnaround. If you deliver to retail distribution centers, Transporeon provides easy booking options for numerous retailers via the Mercareon platform .
With our visibility tools , your drivers can use their smartphone or in-cab telemetric system to issue helpful status messages during each journey "Goods loaded successfully", "Delay due to traffic jam", and "On break".
Each time a shipping company publishes an order on Transporeon’s platforms, every carrier has a fair chance of winning this new business. This is because each carrier is able to see all relevant information at the same time. If your bid is the most suitable according to the shipper’s criteria – which could be your availability, relevant experience, and vehicle type as well as your price – you will win the order.
Digital processes enable easier, faster payment. All the information you need for each completed order is stored in the same, easy-to-access file . This includes the agreed price, details of any extra costs incurred, electronic signatures, photo evidence of shipment damage, and more. All of this gets checked automatically before you generate an invoice , minimizing the risk of billing an incorrect amount. This makes sure you get paid fast!
We now have a better relationship with our shipper customers. There is no longer any discussion over unexpected amounts found on invoices, and the accounting process runs much faster for both sides.”
Our shipper-carrier network contains vast amounts of high-quality data and our smart tools enable deep analysis of this information. What does this mean for you? With “Best Carrier” transport assignment , you will receive requests for bids from your shippers. If you have free transport capacity, you can make offers for additional business, plan your backhauls and minimize empty runs.
