Transport Marketplace grand European launch Multimodal april 2011 Birmingham United Kingdom

March 26, 2011 - PRLog -- The company is currently expanding its activity over Europe by opening a new branch office in Rotterdam. It considers the Birmingham exhibition as an amazing opportunity to promote this move. It has thus put great effort on having its updated suite ready  for release by the time of the show.

Tours of the services will be given at stand 932 where visitors will have a unique chance to try the software, register early and win some free TM Credits1. 100 TM Credits1 will indeed be offered every 100 registrations made from Transport Marketplace's stand and the 20 TM Credits1 welcome offer will automatically be doubled.

The idea
Transport Marketplace brings together the global supply and demand of the transportation industry on an online platform. Shippers and carriers thus enhance their efficiency through cloud computing2.

The marketplace is as simple as it gets:
• The shipper initiates a transaction by posting a quotation request
• The carrier quotes the freight
• The shipper chooses the best quotation and places a booking
• The carrier accepts the booking

Transport Marketplace ensures the quality of its users:
• The shipper rates the carrier’s performance
• The carrier confirms that the terms of payment were respected

Based on the success of transactions, the Win & Pay economic model rules the relations between the marketplace and its users:
• The shipper pays 2 TM Credits1 per quotation received within 48h
• The carrier pays 4 TM Credits1 per booking he accepts

1. TM Credits: virtual currency of the website, 1 TM Credit equals 1 euro in the euro zone.
2. Cloud computing: Web based softwares (highly flexible, work from any Web browser)
