PRESS RELEASE

LOSTnFOUND AG is cooperating with TimoCom Tracking solutions via TC eMap® tracking facility

Düsseldorf, 7th May 2013. The telematics and tracking systems of LOSTnFOUND are a permanent factor in day-to-day business in the transport industry. Similarly, a large part of companies involved in the transport sector utilise the freight and warehousing exchange of TimoCom. Now, both companies are working together and, as a result, they can provide unique offers to their customers in terms of effectiveness and safety.

The idea sounds very simple to begin with: Many carriers and freight forwarders use on-line freight allocation platforms in order to avoid empty trips and thus, achieve extra revenue. In order to enhance the safety for freight providers and contractors, there is, in fact, nothing better than the integration of telematics solutions in the allocation platforms. So far, however, such cooperation between telematics providers and transport exchanges has been sought in vain. However, this is exactly the step that LOSTnFOUND and TimoCom are now taking. The company based in Düsseldorf has completely revised its calculation and route planner TC eMap® and supplemented it with a tracking feature. The tracking features of LOSTnFOUND can be located with the help of this feature. This innovation is being showcased at the transport logistic 2013 trade fair to the public in Munich for the first time.

Safety, Efficiency and Competitive Edge The benefits are at hand. Customers of LOSTnFOUND can use TC eMap® directly, provided that they are also customers of TimoCom. In this manner, transport service providers can have their own vehicles tracked by a customer and also located vehicles of other parties on their own after this feature has been released for them. With the integration of the tracking solutions of LOSTnFOUND in TC eMap®, the safety for freight consignors and consignees increases many times over.

At the same time, the cooperation between the companies also facilitates more efficient business processes. Today, if a freight forwarder would like to know where the goods are located at present, he needs to call up the carrier to begin with. Thanks to the utilisation of LOSTnFOUND in TC eMap®, all information is available to him at a glance, if he has been cleared for this purpose by the carrier.

Last but not least, every transport services provider can provide another competitive edge compared to his competitors: While entering the vehicle, companies can highlight particularly that they are providing their vehicles for tracking in TC eMap®. It is obvious that consignors would prefer to assign their orders to trustworthy service providers whose vehicles can be tracked.
