Teleroute introduces Freight Talk, the first instant messaging tool dedicated to the transport industry

Brussels (May 31, 2007) – Teleroute, a Wolters Kluwer business, a leading pan-European provider of electronic services and innovative solutions for the transport and logistics industry, has designed Freight Talk, an instant messaging solution tailored to transport professionals for fast and reliable business communications with existing and potential business partners. With Freight Talk, transport and logistics companies can answer freight offers, negotiate terms in tamper proof conditions and confirm pick up and delivery in a faster and cheaper way than with fax or phone.

Freight Talk is an easy to install resident software with a permanent connection to the internet for more reliable, faster and efficient communications than phone or e-mail. It includes exclusive features tailored to the transport industry that enable users to:

• Answer an offer in one click, directly from the freight exchange
• Get a permanent trace of the conversations
• Send tamper-proof confirmation from their desk in a secure and faster way than with fax
• Communicate last-minute changes and follow-up freight execution in a simpler and faster way than with phone
• Eliminate phone and fax costs
• Have industry keywords and standard sentences automatically translated

“In line with Teleroute's innovation strategy, we are enriching our offer by developing new services beyond our freight exchange solutions, to enhance our customer experience and offer them more value” declares Raimundo Diaz, CEO of Teleroute. “This is the reason why  we are launching Freight Talk, the unique instant messaging solution designed for the transport industry to offer a reliable and safe channel for business communication.”

Freight Talk is available in two versions: the Standard version, which allows to initiate conversations within the freight exchange and to reply to incoming conversations, and the Premium version, which enables users to discuss also outside the freight exchange and invite new contacts.  The Standard version is for free for all Teleroute freight exchange users.
