Freight forwarding tracking & shipment tracking

Whether it’s vehicle repatriation, buying a car abroad, or event logistics – the demand for freight forwarding tracking is greater than ever. Customers expect transparency, real-time information, and security. Modern freight forwarders therefore rely on digital shipment tracking tools that provide seamless information throughout the entire transport process. Learn how our systems work, what benefits they offer, and what you should pay attention to.

Our digital tracking solutions

As an experienced freight forwarder, we combine traditional transport expertise with modern IT solutions. Our goal: maximum transparency and control – for companies and private customers alike. To achieve this, we use sophisticated tracking technologies that inform all parties involved about the transport status in real time. Our systems are easy to use, GDPR-compliant, and available on a variety of devices – from desktop to mobile apps.

Freight forwarding tracking tools in use

Our tools are based on precise telematics and GPS technology integrated into our vehicles and IT systems. They utilize the following features:

• Real-time GPS tracking. The exact location of your vehicle is displayed on an interactive map at all times.
• ETA (estimated time of arrival) calculation. Automatic calculation based on traffic and weather data.
• Status updates via SMS or email. Optional information service for specified milestones (e.g., pickup, border crossing, arrival).
• Digital access for business customers. The entire vehicle fleet can be monitored centrally via an online portal or an API interface.
• History tracking. Review of past transports for analysis or documentation.

Our tools are particularly user-friendly and allow even non-technical people to get a quick overview – without having to install an app, if desired.

Shipment tracking for private customers

Shipment tracking is now an indispensable service for private customers, too – especially when purchasing a vehicle over long distances, e.g., from abroad, at online auctions, or after a move. Many people invest not only money but also emotions in their vehicle – so it’s only natural to want to know at all times: Where is my car right now? When will it arrive safely? Our solution offers exactly that:

• Easy access via tracking link. After your order is confirmed, you will receive a personalized tracking link from us, either by email or, if you prefer, by text message. With just one click, you can access an overview of your vehicle transport – no registration or app download required. The display is mobile-optimized, allowing you to conveniently track your vehicle from your smartphone, tablet, or PC.
• Real-time data & transport status. In the tracking area, you’ll find all important information at a glance: current vehicle position (GPS-based, displayed on a map), latest status report (e.g., “Pickup completed,” “Border crossing completed,” “In delivery zone”), estimated time of arrival – continuously updated depending on traffic conditions, intermediate stops, and reasons for delays, if relevant. Our tracking technology delivers precise and understandable information – presented in a way that’s easy to understand, even for non-technical users.
• Security & Data Protection. Access to shipment tracking is security-tested and personalized. The tracking link is only active with your order number and cannot be viewed publicly. All data transfers are encrypted in accordance with current GDPR regulations. This means you can be assured that your vehicle and transport data will be protected and treated confidentially.
• Notifications & status updates. We offer automated notifications as an option.
• More planning security for your everyday life. Our freight tracking solution not only gives you, as a private customer, an overview, but also true planning security. 

Compared to other shipping company shipment tracking , which often only provides rough daily time periods, you benefit from live data, direct communication and personal service.

How vehicle tracking works

To ensure that freight forwarding tracking works smoothly, several components work seamlessly together:

• Vehicle equipment. Our vans are equipped with GPS modules, telematics systems, and sensors.
• Data transmission. During transport, the systems send location, route, and status data to our data center in real time.
• Data processing. This data is analyzed using our software and prepared for the customer.
• Customer access. You can access it via the web portal, app, or direct link, depending on your preference.
• Security standards. All tracking information is transmitted encrypted and is subject to strict data protection guidelines (GDPR).

Our advantage over other shipping companies is shipment tracking: While many providers only offer rough time frames, we guarantee precise, minute-by-minute data – while protecting your sensitive information.

While some shipping companies rely on simple shipment numbers and daily updates, we go several steps further:

• Detailed map display instead of pure text information;
• live adjustments in case of traffic jams or border waiting times;
• Individual access solutions for companies with high transport volumes
• Integrated documentation (e.g. digital delivery notes, handover protocols, photo documentation).

Our tracking forwarding system is modular and can be flexibly adapted to your requirements – whether for individual shipments or international fleet management. With our modern tracking forwarding technology, you have complete control over your entire vehicle transport at all times – reliably, securely, and conveniently.
