What Trusted Carrier Gmbh & Co.kg does

Trusted Carrier (legal entity: Trusted Carrier Logistik GmbH) provides email-based real-time verification of companies, insurance cover, and drivers for European road freight logistics. Users add [email protected] as a copy recipient on email correspondence to a transport partner; the service then checks the company against official EU-27 sources — commercial registers (HRB), transport licence registries, VIES VAT, EU sanctions lists, and insurance cover databases — and replies with cited, signed verification records for company status, live insurance limits (e.g., EUR 1.5M), driver credentials (CE + ADR 7), and multi-hop subcontractor chains. The platform is operated as an initiative of BGL e.V., the German Federal Association for Road Haulage, Logistics and Waste Management, with headquarters in Munich.

The underlying technology is a source-verification engine covering all 27 EU member states, accessible through a zero-installation email workflow that requires no login, no app, and no IT integration. Five integrated modules — Company Verification, Insurance Cover Verification, Driver Verification, Sanctions Screening, and Active Chain Verification — combine into a single reusable Trusted Profile that eliminates repeat onboarding across borders. The product is GDPR-compliant by design, ISO 27001 security-aligned, and pursuing SOC 2 Type 2 certification. Distribution is product-led: a self-serve mailbox, a content engine ('The Verified Brief' monthly newsletter and blog), and a press kit drive organic adoption across five horizontal customer segments — shippers, carriers, freight forwarders, insurers, and public-sector entities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue mechanics are described as subscription or usage-based B2B verification services for the European transport industry.

Direct peers

• Veriff: Identity-verification platform used by mobility, gig, and regulated industries to verify driver and operator credentials. Comparable technology stack and overlapping customer use cases around driver onboarding.
• iDenfy: Identity-verification and KYC/AML provider serving fintech, mobility, and logistics-adjacent use cases. Comparable as a third-party verification utility against official registries, similar in go-to-market to Trusted Carrier's per-verification B2B model.
• Komgo: Trust platform for trade finance and trade documentation, connecting corporates, banks, and logistics providers through a neutral digital trust layer. Direct parallel to Trusted Carrier's positioning as a neutral verification utility for cross-border transport counterparties.
• Onfido: Identity-verification SaaS providing KYC, document, and biometric checks against authoritative data sources. Direct peer in the underlying 'verify identity/credentials against official sources' capability that Trusted Carrier delivers for transport.

Broad incumbents

• DAT Freight & Analytics: North-American freight data and carrier intelligence platform providing carrier profiles, insurance, and safety data to brokers and shippers. Highly analogous business — verifying carrier legitimacy and coverage — though operating in a different geography.
• Project44: Global supply-chain visibility platform with deep carrier data across road, ocean, and air. Comparable as a digital layer providing verified, real-time information about carriers and shipments to enterprise shippers and forwarders across Europe.
• Transporeon (Trimble Transportation): Europe-leading transportation management system and carrier onboarding/qualification platform. Highly comparable given its European footprint, carrier-verification workflows, and shipper/forwarder customer base that overlaps directly with Trusted Carrier's segments.
• Forto (formerly FreightHub): European digital freight forwarder offering shippers automated carrier selection and onboarding workflows. Comparable as a tech-forward European freight intermediary where carrier vetting and onboarding are core operational functions.
• Jumio: Large-scale identity-verification and KYC platform used across financial services, mobility, and gig-economy verticals. Comparable verification-as-a-service technology and B2B revenue model for regulated onboarding of counterparties.
• FourKites: Supply-chain visibility platform serving large shippers, 3PLs, and brokers with real-time tracking and carrier data. Overlaps with Trusted Carrier's mission of giving shippers confidence in the carriers and modes they engage.
