Transportscanner is a cloud‑based marketplace that digitizes freight procurement by letting shippers submit a single request for cargo transport and receive item‑level quotes from a vetted network of carriers. The platform aggregates and compares quotes in a secure dashboard, providing price transparency, carrier credentials, and automated compliance verification. This reduces lead time and administrative effort for both shippers and logistics providers.

Problem
Customers needing transport, courier, or moving services often face fragmented markets, opaque pricing, and the effort of contacting multiple logistics providers individually to obtain quotes. This leads to delays, higher costs, and uncertainty about provider reliability.
Solution
Transportscanner operates a cloud‑based marketplace that streamlines freight procurement. Users submit a single request detailing cargo type, volume, origin, and destination; the platform then matches the request to a vetted network of logistics companies. Each provider receives the request and submits a non‑binding, item‑level quote. All quotes are aggregated in a secure dashboard where users can compare prices, service terms, and provider credentials before selecting the optimal partner. The service includes automated verification of carrier licenses, insurance, and safety standards, ensuring that only qualified operators participate. By digitizing the entire quotation workflow, Transportscanner reduces lead time, improves price transparency, and lowers administrative overhead for both shippers and carriers.
Target Audience
Primary users are businesses and private individuals in the Netherlands and surrounding markets who require transport, courier, or relocation services, as well as logistics companies seeking qualified leads for their service offerings.
