To be able to work profitably in the logistics business, service innovations that increase the competitiveness of companies in a continuous and a targeted manner must be brought forward. This is a maxim that TimoCom has turned into the most important principle of its business. The best example: Its TC Truck&Cargo® freight and vehicle exchange, operating across all of Europe. This exchange has established itself as the European market leader in a very short time. Now, a new and promising TimoCom product has arrived on the market: TC eBid®!
The product is an invitation-to-tender platform and the logistics-based consequence of the TC Truck&Cargo® spot market platform. With TC eBid®, a product comes to market that will significantly simplify and make more efficient the business between companies and service providers with partial and complete loads, in the long-term contract business. The advantages for TC Truck&Cargo® clients: You can now take part in the contract business and place your bids free of charge in TC eBid®! An important advantage especially nowadays; with this offering TC Truck&Cargo® clients benefit from even better capacity utilisation and a higher level of efficiency.
In turn, TC eBid® clients can offer long-term or project-based transportation bids to approximately 30,000 certified service providers from all over Europe. In addition, these consigning companies obtain access, free of charge, to the Europe-wide TC Profile® directory of freight forwarders as well as the TC eMap® calculation module.
Just like TC Truck&Cargo®, TC eBid® is especially user-friendly, safe and available in 24 different languages. As with TC Truck&Cargo® , TimoCom fully stays out of the contract handling process and acts merely as a technical middleman. Marcel Frings, Director of Key Account Management and jointly responsible for TC eBid®, sees the orientation toward the needs of the client as the main success factor for TimoCom: "TimoCom comes from this branch, TimoCom understands this branch. For this reason we know the needs of the transportation sector. With TC eBid® we have developed a meaningful supplement to our spot market platform TC Truck&Cargo® . With TC eBid® we are happy to open up a new business field for our current established customers. Overall, we are offering all those involved in the transportation and logistics sector a new, efficient product that will also optimise and efficiently shape the operation processes in the long-term transportation business."
For the transportation and logistics branch, TC eBid® primarily means added efficiency, transparency and productivity. For TimoCom, the new product is a milestone in our company's development!
