Why Choose Truckscanner Premium for Your Freight Forwarding Business

The modern freight forwarder lives balancing two worlds: on one hand, maintaining and managing a network of reliable carriers, on the other, finding new shipper clients to feed the business. Truckscanner is the only platform designed to support both these dimensions simultaneously.

With Truckscanner Premium, freight forwarders get tools no other freight exchange offers: a dedicated portal to share loads with your carrier network, the ability to bid on shipper loads in the marketplace, AI Smart Matching to find the best carriers, and much more. All starting at €99.90 per month.

In this article, you'll discover how Truckscanner Premium can transform your forwarding business and why, even without daily use, the investment always pays off.

The Forwarder's Dual Role on Truckscanner

Truckscanner recognises that freight forwarders operate as shippers towards carriers while simultaneously being suppliers to end clients. The platform is designed to support both roles seamlessly.

As a Shipper: Manage Your Carrier Network

When you have a load to assign, you can post requests on the marketplace and receive carrier bids. But with Premium you get much more: a dedicated showcase/portal where your trusted carriers can see open loads, and AI Smart Matching that automatically suggests the most suitable carriers for each specific requirement.

As a Supplier: Find New Shipper Clients

At the same time, you can bid on loads posted by other shippers in the marketplace, acquiring new clients who need forwarding services. It's an additional business channel that grows alongside the platform's network.

The Load Portal: Your Showcase for Carriers

One of the most valued features for Premium forwarders is having a dedicated web showcase where you share open loads with your carrier network. No more mass emails, no more chaotic WhatsApp groups, no more phone calls for every single load.

One Link for All Loads

Share a single link with your carriers and they always see updated available loads. They can register for free, submit bids, and you manage everything from one dashboard. Clear information flow, centralised negotiations, zero confusion.

Premium Showcase: No Watermark and Indexed

With Premium, the showcase is fully branded (no Truckscanner watermark), indexed on Google and visible to potential new carriers searching for opportunities online. It's your professional logistics portal.

AI Smart Matching: Find the Right Carrier in Seconds

Truckscanner's artificial intelligence analyses each load request and automatically suggests the most suitable carriers based on operating area, transportable cargo type, fleet characteristics, performance history and availability. No more manual database searches: AI works for you.

For a forwarder handling dozens of loads daily, this means hours saved every week finding the right carrier. And more accurate matches mean fewer operational problems and more satisfied clients.

Acquire New Clients on the Marketplace

Truckscanner's marketplace isn't just for carriers. Freight forwarders can bid on loads posted by shippers, competing to acquire new clients. It's a lead generation channel built into the platform.

Priority Visibility for Your Bids

With Premium, your bids get priority visibility over competitors. Shippers see your proposals first, increasing your chances of being chosen. A tangible competitive advantage.

Shipper Financial Rating

Before bidding, see the potential client's financial rating. Know who you're dealing with, avoid payment surprises, tailor contract terms based on financial reliability.
