Transportial vs Transporeon
Transporeon, founded in 2000 in Ulm, Germany, and part of Trimble since April 2023, is a cloud platform that connects more than 1,500 shippers and retailers with over 210,000 carriers and LSPs. Its modules cover freight procurement and spot tenders, transport assignment, real-time visibility, dock and yard scheduling, and freight audit and payment. It suits shippers that buy and steer freight across many carriers. Carriers usually connect to Transporeon from their own TMS, where planning, fleet and invoicing run. That is where Transportial fits: an operational TMS for carriers and LSPs, used next to the networks their customers choose.

How Transportial differs from Transporeon
Plan board and VRP for carriers
Transportial gives carriers and LSPs a drag-and-drop plan board and a VRP solver that assigns orders to vehicles by capacity, time windows, vehicle type and EU driving-time rules. Transporeon’s execution tools centre on shippers assigning loads to carriers.
Pricing engine and sales invoicing
Transportial prices orders with its own pricing engine and invoices customers from the executed trips. Transporeon’s finance module is freight audit and payment, aimed at shippers checking carrier bills.
Published prices, free start
Transportial charges per transaction, from €0.50 down to €0.01 with volume, plus fees for users or vehicles beyond the free allowance, and has a free Starter tier. Transporeon does not publish prices.
Customer portal and tracking links
A carrier’s own customers get a Transportial customer portal and login-free tracking links, and event-driven message automations send them status updates, whichever network the shipper uses for procurement.
