  • Freight Traders se lance sur le marché du Benelux

A l’opposé d’une bourse de transport (telle que Teleroute, par exemple) Freight Traders ne met pas l’accent sur les commandes “spot” (trouver du fret de retour dans le cadre d’un transport spécifique), mais dans 90% des cas sur des contrats de transport à moyen terme (en général de quelques mois à deux ans). “Et, contrairement aux nombreuses bourses de transport internet qui se sont créées pendant la vague des “dotcoms”, notre système est opérationnel, avec un portefeuille d’utilisateurs conséquent”, nous a expliqué Joe Critchley, directeur pour le marché européen.
