What Teleroute does

Teleroute operates a European B2B freight exchange platform connecting carriers and freight forwarders for road transport, with operations spanning 29 countries and a user base of more than 85,000 transport professionals. Founded in 1985 and active in European road transport logistics for over 40 years, the company now operates as a subsidiary brand within Alpega Group NV, a Belgian-headquartered logistics software provider. The platform publishes more than 350,000 freight offers daily and over 8,000,000 monthly, creating a two-sided marketplace where carriers search loads to fill empty runs and freight forwarders source carrier capacity. Geographic coverage is extended through access to sister exchanges Wtransnet (Spain and Portugal) and 123Cargo (Romania and Eastern Europe).

Teleroute's product surface comprises the core freight exchange platform plus a portfolio of modular add-ons. Differentiating features include an exclusive Payment Guarantee service that ensures carriers receive payment regardless of the freight forwarder's behavior, Debt Mediation for resolving payment disputes, a multi-level Customer Verification process, and an objective Customer Rating system based on activity and payment history. Operational tools include a Truck Route Planner that computes vehicle-specific optimal routes with toll costs and CO2 emissions data, a Profit Calculator for estimating savings from reduced empty running, and T-Interface, a TMS integration layer that enables freight forwarders to publish freight offers automatically. A mobile app extends platform access to drivers in transit.

Teleroute's revenue model is built on recurring monthly subscription fees with tiered plans. The Start-plan targets carriers with up to three trucks and a single user, while multi-user enterprise plans add features such as Smart Search, shared offers, advanced analytics, and visibility tools. Pricing is customized by business type, user count, and feature set, with no public list prices disclosed. The company employs a hybrid go-to-market combining product-led self-serve onboarding for SMBs with direct account management for enterprise customers, supported by localized inside sales and customer service across more than 20 European countries. The multilingual website supports eight European languages, and the platform distributes through its web interface, mobile app, and T-Interface integration.

• Wtransnet: Sister brand under Alpega Group and leading freight exchange in Spain and Portugal. Operates the same freight-exchange model in a different geography, making it a comparable (and partly cooperative) peer to Teleroute.

Emerging players
