Timocom: 25 years freight exchange
"It all started when I was looking for a pan-European procurement platform for transport orders in order to reduce the empty runs of my freight forwarding company. But I didn't find one that met my requirements," says Jens Thiermann (right).
Together with business partners he spent months developing a software for his own freight exchange. And finally, the founder of Timocom Soft- und Hardware pressed the start button and watched as the freight and vehicle exchange Truck & Cargo was filled with offers.
After only a few years, the young company had opened locations in Poland, Czechia and Hungary and exceeded the 10,000 customer mark. Today, the company has more than 50,000 customers with over 147,000 system users in 46 European countries. (cj)
