Definition: Freight exchange integration connects a transport management system to spot-market platforms such as TIMOCOM, Trans.eu and Transporeon so that loads, vehicle-space offers, quotes and contacts flow between the TMS and the exchange without copy-pasting — and so that the search can start from what the TMS already knows: where each truck becomes free and where it needs to go.
The same functions are tools of the AI dispatcher: "find a load for the Osnabrück truck toward Bulgaria", "what can I add to order 1234 on its way", "offer truck CB1234 on TIMOCOM from Friday". Contacting a poster or publishing a truck always shows you the exact message first and waits for your yes. Load Scout and part loads on the way are listed on the Pro plan.
AI Scout has no monthly fee. A match is billed only when you acted on a Scout suggestion and then created an order from that poster on that lane: 1 % of the order's freight. The first three matches are free; matches with your own unassigned orders are always free. The fee is shown next to the load's value everywhere, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
| Step | Exchange in a browser tab | Integrated in CargoMind |
|---|---|---|
| Knowing which trucks are free, where and when | From memory or a whiteboard | From the orders — automatically |
| Direction of the search | Anywhere | Toward home or the next order, direct or chained |
| Contacting posters | Copy e-mail, write from scratch | Templated in the poster's language, logged |
| Winning the load | Retype the order | Create the order from the inquiry, truck assigned |
| Cost | Exchange subscription | Exchange subscription + fee only on won loads |
Connect your TIMOCOM API access on the free trial and run Load Scout for one truck. 30 days free, no credit card.
Start Your Free TrialYes. Load Scout uses the Freight Exchange API access that TIMOCOM issues to its customers after business approval. CargoMind guides you through the request under Markets → Connectors and stores the credentials encrypted.
No. Trans.eu's public API provides the freight proposals sent to your company. Those appear in CargoMind once the connector is linked by OAuth; the open exchange search is not available through the API.
Only after you confirm. The AI dispatcher first shows exactly what will be published — truck, place, date, destination countries, contact person — and publishes only on your explicit yes in the next message.
There is no monthly fee for AI Scout. You pay 1 % of the freight only for exchange loads you actually win after acting on a Scout suggestion; the first three matches are free. Load Scout is part of the Pro plan (€48 per office user per month, €40 billed yearly).
