The TIMOCOM freight exchange is being enhanced with a time-saving feature. With the “Price Proposals for Freight” function, clients can invite potential business partners to express their interest in the transport while simultaneously submitting their price expectations. The offers are listed directly in the client’s posted freight offer. This saves time and increases clarity, especially when multiple dispatchers from a company are working with TIMOCOM.
Those who use the TIMOCOM freight exchange benefit from a large network. Whether freight forwarders, carriers, or shippers – more than 50,000 customers from across Europe use the platform to quickly and easily find new business partners and assign transports. This leads to enormous visibility. What is generally desired sometimes needs to be channeled. “For sought-after freight offers, clients receive up to 500 inquiries or more,” says product manager David Moog. “They contact dispatchers via email, phone, and chat messages, making the assignment process unnecessarily cumbersome.”
FME Freight Management Europe: Relief for Dispatchers
At FME Freight Management Europe GmbH, efficiency is part of the company philosophy. The logistics company from Hof in Bavaria is active throughout Europe as a direct load specialist for partial and full loads as well as special transports. Dispatch manager Christopher Kranholdt is pleased about the Price Proposals for Freight function. It will take a lot of work off his colleagues in dispatch when creating new freight offers. “My dispatch team saves time and gets a clear overview of the transport offers in one window. This way, we can plan the suitable truck even faster, and lengthy email exchanges and phone calls are a thing of the past,” says Kranholdt.
The new function is now available to all TIMOCOM customers in the Road Freight Marketplace at no additional cost.
