Extending a Long-Lasting Partnership for Enhanced Logistics
TIMOCOM, a leading European freight marketplace provider with over 55,000 verified clients and more than 1 million freight offers daily, has announced a renewed collaboration with HERE Technologies, the go-to platform for mapping and location data. This partnership reflects their commitment to enhancing the efficiency of logistics and transportation sectors.
Milestones in the Partnership Journey
Since its establishment in 1997, TIMOCOM has played a significant role in shaping the European transport landscape. They introduced the Road Freight Marketplace, which has emerged as a prime platform for connecting freight forwarders, logistics providers, and shippers. This marketplace is designed to optimize transport costs, improve fleet utilization, and achieve timely deliveries for all users.
An Innovative Approach to Partnership
The collaboration with HERE Technologies began in 2000, focusing on integrating advanced location technologies to enhance the user experience within the Marketplace. Over the years, our joint efforts have resulted in improved shipping cost estimates and estimated time of arrival (ETA) for its users, now numbering 156,000.
Driving Smarter Logistics with Advanced Technology
TIMOCOM is now fully capitalizing on HERE's cutting-edge solutions and services tailored specifically for the transportation sector. A noteworthy offering is HERE's Truck Routing API, which assists users in considering various route attributes such as bridge heights, weight limits, and hazardous materials regulations. By factoring in these elements, TIMOCOM can provide more reliable shipping cost calculations and efficient routing.
Enhanced Shipment Visibility and Planning
Further enhancing the logistics experience, TIMOCOM utilizes additional HERE services such as Route Matching and Traffic, which offer real-time traffic data. These tools empower shippers to refine their route planning and scheduling, boosting their confidence in timely deliveries and reducing unnecessary empty miles for carriers.
Looking Ahead: Future Developments and Innovations
With the renewed commitment outlined in their recent announcement, TIMOCOM will now leverage even more innovative solutions from HERE Technologies. This move ensures that TIMOCOM’s customers will continue to benefit from improved service and value in the Marketplace.
"HERE has been our steadfast partner for 25 years, enabling us to fulfil our vision with the most accurate and updated location data," shared Philipp Schmidt, Strategic Product Manager at TIMOCOM. He expressed enthusiasm about the continued partnership that promises to deliver expanded capabilities and heightened value for users.
A Foundation Built on Trust
As Patrick Goetze, Sales Director for HERE Technologies noted, the enduring relationship reflects the mutual trust and respect cultivated over the years. Both companies are excited to build on this successful foundation, aiming to continuously refine TIMOCOM’s offerings and amplify the value delivered to customers.
