Transporeon is a cloud transport management system (TMS) for European shippers, covering tendering, slot booking, and real-time tracking in one platform. It helps procurement and operations teams source carriers, schedule dock slots, and follow shipments end to end.
Originally headquartered in Ulm, Transporeon is now part of Trimble. Processing takes place in an EU data centre, and a GDPR data-processing agreement (AV-Vertrag) is available.
The platform is subscription-based with no free tier and is geared towards mid-sized and large shippers that run regular freight procurement, rather than occasional senders.
