Real-time alerts
Know when a carrier or subcontractor in your network is filed for insolvency, as it happens.
Distress Monitor for Logistics & Freight Forwarding
A freight forwarder can be held liable when a subcontracted carrier it hired goes insolvent mid-job. That's not a hypothetical, it's happened more than once across Europe this year alone. When your network of carriers and subcontractors spans multiple countries, that risk multiplies with every border.
One missed pickup can be the first sign, not the filing itself
Checking one country's insolvency registry by hand is manageable. Checking every country your carriers and subcontractors operate in, in their own language, on a rolling basis, isn't something most teams can do manually. That gap is exactly what lets a subcontracted carrier's insolvency surface as a missed delivery instead of an early warning.
