The cooperation, which always focuses on the interests of small and medium-sized road freight transport companies, will be expanded to include the Real Time Transport Visibility chapter. The strategic partnership is intended to provide BGL member companies with exclusive benefits and easy access to live shipment tracking.

The shippers' requirements for transparent transport processes have risen continuously in recent years. On the one hand, multi-layered flows of goods and the increase in shipments and goods traffic require precise planning. On the other hand, it is precisely this complexity that triggers a serious domino effect in downstream process steps in the event of the smallest delays. There is a great need to keep an eye on every shipment. At the same time, dispatchers have less and less time to follow up on the progress of individual consignments.
to follow up on individual shipments. As a result, the demand for real-time transport visibility is increasing, but transport companies do not always feel comfortable sharing their data.

"In our industry, the provision of transportation data is a sensitive issue. In this respect, Timocom has convinced us in several respects. Together, we have succeeded in changing common practices in such a way that transport companies benefit financially by providing their data. We are therefore pleased to be able to recommend a real-time visibility solution to our members that meets their needs and requirements," says BGL board spokesman Prof. Dr. Dirk Engelhardt.

"We are delighted to be able to expand our trusting collaboration with BGL, particularly in the area of real-time visibility. Transparent data streams will be a decisive competitive advantage in freight transport in the future - which makes it all the more important that we can offer users an intuitive, simple RTV solution recommended by BGL. Traceable data sovereignty and simple control of the exchange of information play a central role here," says Steven van Cauteren, Director Sales - Visibility Solutions, Key Account & Partner Management at Timocom. Further details of the cooperation will be announced at transport logistic 2023.
