Certified Carrier Exchange powered by TAPA EMEA Standards & Intelligence: A new standard for secure carrier sourcing
For freight forwarders, securing reliable transport capacity has become more difficult than ever.
Pressure on delivery times, volatile spot markets, and growing cargo fraud risks force logistics teams to make fast decisions — often based on incomplete or unverifiable information.
Fake carrier identities, stolen credentials, AI-generated documents, and phishing attacks are no longer isolated incidents. Annual global cargo losses are estimated at $40 billion, with cargo crime in the EU alone accounting for up to €8.3 billion each year, according to a European Parliament study.
At the same time, many forwarding companies still rely on manual carrier checks, emails, declarations, and disconnected onboarding processes.
The result? Too much time spent verifying carriers — and still too much uncertainty.
A new approach to secure carrier sourcing
The Certified Carrier Exchange powered by TAPA EMEA Standards & Intelligence was created to solve this problem.
It is the first freight exchange built entirely on verified TAPA certification — a closed environment where every carrier and freight forwarder must hold a valid TAPA TSR certification at TSR 1, TSR 2, or TSR 3 level.
Unlike traditional freight exchanges, the validity of certifications is continuously verified according to TAPA standards.
Combined with Trans.eu’s own vetting and security infrastructure, this creates a “double-locked” environment for freight execution.
Faster access to trusted capacity
The Certified Carrier Exchange provides access to a vetted pool of high-security carriers without the need for lengthy qualification processes.
With the platform, freight forwarders can:
- access continuously verified transport capacity,
- reduce fraud and identity theft risks,
- eliminate repetitive manual security checks,
- work with trusted transport partners faster,
- move from offer to confirmed order within one secure and traceable environment.
Instead of relying on one-time onboarding and declarations, forwarders gain access to a network where verification is continuous.
Security without operational slowdown
Traditionally, higher security meant slower processes, additional paperwork, and limited flexibility. This partnership changes that.
The Certified Carrier Exchange combines:
- Trans.eu’s digital freight execution infrastructure,
- continuous carrier verification,
- network-level fraud detection,
- ISO/IEC 27001-certified information security processes,
- TAPA’s globally recognized cargo security standards.
The result is a secure environment where freight transactions remain fast, traceable, and easier to trust.
A new standard for freight forwarding
The collaboration between TAPA EMEA and Trans.eu sets a new standard in logistics — replacing uncertain carrier selection with a verified transport environment built on trusted standards.
In logistics, where fraud risks and time pressure are rising, security can no longer be secondary.
