Who this tool is for
Industries
- Forwarders filling empty runs
- Carriers seeking cross-border freight
- Dispatchers needing track-and-trace
- Established DACH logistics firms
TIMOCOM is Europe's largest freight exchange, used by more than 55,000 transport companies to find and offer freight capacity across the continent. The platform combines load matching with integrated track-and-trace, so dispatchers can fill empty runs and monitor shipments in one place.
For DACH operators, the key draw is the location: TIMOCOM is headquartered in Erkrath (NRW) and runs its own data centre in Germany, with TÜV-certified data security. A GDPR data-processing agreement (AV-Vertrag) is available, and all data stays within the EU.
It is a subscription product without a free tier, aimed at established carriers and forwarders rather than occasional users.
