Introduction

Many European carriers have at least part of their fleet outsourced to subcontractors.

The topic of subcontracting is part of everyday life but is also often not very much appreciated by customers.

Transporeon Visibility Hub offers the possibility to track your transports via the vehicles of your subcontractors. The trucks will be visible as your own on your shipper's Visibility Hub account.

Providing Real Time visibility

Invite Subcontractors to join your Visibility Hub network

  1. Make a list of your subcontractors and sort them out by the number of transports they carry out for your Visibility Hub customers. In the beginning, pay particular attention to a fast integration of your biggest subcontractors. This way you make sure to provide good level of visibility as soon as possible.

  3. Your subcontractors will receive a registration link to join your network.
    As soon as they register they are linked to your company and you can follow the progress of their integration in your subcontractors overview in the transport network report. Usually the GPS integration or the setup of the mobile app tracking should not take more than 2-3 days. Please make sure to reach out to your subcontractors if it takes any longer. If there are problems, they always have the opportunity to ask us for help at https://support.transporeon.com/.

Start Providing Real Time visibility through your subcontractors

As soon as your subcontractors have enabled their fleet for real time visibility, they will appear as 'ready for tracking' or 'onboarded' in the transport network report and you will automatically see their license plates in your vehicle list.

From this point on, you will be able to allocate their license plates to your customers' transports or you can forward them transports so that they can allocate them themselves.

Your customers will now be able to receive real time information on the transports allocated by your subcontractors.

However, the license plate will be always linked to your own company. The name of the subcontractors will not be displayed.
