Security at TIMOCOM
Strict identity checks, fraud monitoring, and secure services with encryption plus support ensure transparency and security in the TIMOCOM Road Freight Marketplace.
Together for more security
1. Secure start when creating an account and logging in
- Create a strong and unique password: Change it regularly and never share it with third parties to protect your access.
- Always use the official TIMOCOM site for login: Bookmark https://my.timocom.com/ to avoid phishing attempts.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): This is an additional security layer that verifies your identity during login.
- Always log out: Sign out after each session and close your browser. This prevents unauthorized persons from taking over your open session and acting on your behalf.
Stay vigilant!
TIMOCOM will never ask you for your login credentials or verification codes – neither by phone nor by email. If you receive suspicious requests, please contact TIMOCOM immediately.
2. Secure collaboration on the TIMOCOM Road Freight Marketplace
Secure communication
Use the TIMOCOM Messenger for all communication with your partners and potential partners – it is faster, more direct, and more secure, reducing the risk of phishing attacks.If you still receive requests by email, we recommend using the TIMOCOM Check. This quick and easy-to-install Outlook email add-in verifies whether the sender's email address is registered to a TIMOCOM user. Information on how to install and use the add-in can be found here.
Close transactions securely
After you have negotiated and selected your preferred partner, you can confirm the transaction directly in the TIMOCOM Marketplace – either via a Deal or via a legally binding Transport Order. This way, the confirmation happens without detours via email, and you are better protected against fraud and misunderstandings.
Rate your transport partners
After you have completed a Deal or a legally binding Transport Order in the TIMOCOM Marketplace, you can rate your transport partner. This creates more transparency and security for all users:
- For clients: Ratings on communication, handling of freights, and punctuality provide confidence when choosing a transport partner.
- For transport companies: Ratings on payment reliability and fairness help identify reputable clients.
Each rating helps to build trust and minimize fraud risks.
Use the Live Shipment Tracking
After you have completed a legally binding Transport Order, activate the Live Shipment Tracking to transparently monitor the status of your shipment and its ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) at any time, and/or to share it with your customers.
