The threat to supply chains in Europe, the Middle East & Africa from freight fraud and fake carriers is one of the fastest growing risks to security and resilience, with single incidents causing losses of €1m-plus. Driven by organised crime groups, these types of freight crime are expected to rocket as AI tools make it even easier for criminals to pose as legitimate transport and logistics providers. So, how do you avoid becoming yet another victim?
TAPA TALKS host, Thorsten Neumann, and moderator, Sam Pauly, are joined in the studio by Matt Arendas, Vice President, Partnerships at Trans.eu, the digital logistics ecosystem serving a more than 44,000 verified transport partners, forwarders, and shippers across Europe through a platform processing 11 million load offers per month, secured by advanced risk prevention architecture, comprehensive rating systems, and the SafePay guarantee.
Their discussion looks at the risks freight buyers face, the types of modus operandi used by crime groups, why Trans.eu rejects 2 out of every 3 carriers during vetting, and how the new Trans.eu Certified Carrier Exchange, based on TAPA Intelligence and Standards, is working to give transport buyers the security and reassurance they need to safeguard high-value deliveries across Europe.
