TIMOCOM invests in Aparkado: A new milestone in digital transport and freight technology

TIMOCOM, one of Europe’s leading FreightTech companies, is today officially announcing its strategic investment in innovative start-up Aparkado. This investment is part of TIMOCOM’s goal of further digitising European road freight transport and promoting the integration of drivers into the digital transport process.

For over 27 years, IT and data specialist TIMOCOM has been a reliable partner to its customers. More than 55,000 verified companies use the company’s digital freight platform, on which up to one million international freight and vehicle space offers are posted daily. By investing in Aparkado, TIMOCOM is expanding its commitment to smart freight technology and helping to improve the working conditions of truck drivers.

At the heart of Aparkado is LKW.APP, a unique parking assistant that monitors the occupancy rates of over 40,000 truck parking areas in Europe. The truck app helps drivers to find available free parking along their route, providing a practical solution to one of the challenges in the logistics industry, namely finding parking spaces for road freight transport. In addition, the app’s smart features help to significantly simplify truck drivers’ daily lives and make their jobs more appealing.

‘By investing in Aparkado, we are paving the way for the future of European road freight transport,’ says Tim Thiermann, Managing Director at TIMOCOM. ‘We see it as our responsibility to make the logistics sector not only more efficient, but also more humane and sustainable.’

With this partnership, TIMOCOM is underlining its role as a pioneer and driver of freight technology and digitalisation in transport and logistics. In doing so, the company is demonstrating how innovative technology in freight forwarding can help create a world without logistical challenges – to the benefit of drivers, companies and the industry as a whole.
