National and international shippers and carriers can reap the benefits of digital automation and visibility solutions
Ulm, Germany, 3 September 2024 — Transporeon, a Trimble Company, today announced its expansion into the transportation logistics sector in Turkey and the appointment of a seasoned, local-language country manager to lead its operations and services in the country.
Transporeon connects freight buyers and sellers via its neutral transportation management platform, enabling network members to simplify collaboration, streamline internal operations and embrace new business opportunities. With a global network of 1,400+ shippers and retailers and 150,000+ carriers and logistics services providers executing over 110,000 transports every day, Transporeon’s platform powers over €55bn in freight processing every year.
The Platform Opportunity: Automation, Collaboration, Real-time Insights
Transporeon’s unique Transportation Management Platform (TMP) aims to advance transport logistics in Turkey by facilitating business for shippers and carriers equally and without bias. The platform automates time-consuming manual processes and provides reliable, real-time data insights across all stages of the transport supply chain.
The transportation sector is prone to operate in silos, leading to disruption and delays often made worse by inefficiencies and poor communication. For 24 years, Transporeon’s stated goal has been to connect shippers and carriers via a suite of digital solutions that foster collaboration, greater efficiencies and lower costs while also supporting emissions reduction goals.
The platform offers users a comprehensive suite of services that includes sourcing freight, managing transport execution, and handling freight audit and payments — all supported with real-time visibility for all transport activities. Additionally, the dock and yard management applications are designed to optimize capacity, reduce queues, and accelerate turnaround times for trucks and drivers through effective time slot management and enhanced visibility solutions.
Exciting Opportunities For Shippers and Carriers in Turkey
Transporeon services and products are currently being used in Turkey by numerous carriers working for multinational brands. The company believes the country represents an important growth market for shippers and carriers operating both nationally and across borders. Specialists at Transporeon predict strong potential for manufacturers and suppliers to explore offshoring and near-shoring supply chain optimization. This is due to Turkey’s location on the shores of Europe combined with being supported by its fast-developing road transport network.
With growth objectives set for 2024, Transporeon has appointed Country Manager Gökalp Kobe Ertuğrul to lead the expansion, making a commitment to supporting local businesses in the local language. With almost 20 years of experience in transportation logistics — both in Turkey and abroad — Ertuğrul believes the opportunities are compelling for shippers and carriers both inside and outside the country.
“I am pleased to be leading Transporeon’s expansion in Turkey,” Ertuğrul said. “Our neutral platform allows logistics teams to manage, move and monitor their loads efficiently in all geographies and transportation modes. I believe there is a growing demand in Turkey’s transportation logistics community for proven business enablers and I am looking forward to working with our customers to help meet their goals.”
