Every trip becomes a transport order: customer, origin and destination, freight and weight, planned date, assigned driver and vehicle, distance and price — followed from planned to invoiced.
In short: a transport company’s dispatch runs on phone calls, paper and spreadsheets. In 4transports, each trip is a transport order with its own code: you pick the customer, fill in origin and destination, freight type and weight, price and currency, distance in km and planned date, then assign a driver and a vehicle. The order moves through the statuses planned, in transit, delivered and invoiced, and the dispatcher sees on a single list which trips are coming and where each one stands. The actual route is chosen by the dispatcher; the platform does not calculate routes automatically.
Instead of notes on paper, every trip has a record: the customer, where it loads and unloads, what freight and how much, the agreed price, the distance and the planned date. The whole team sees the same information, and an order no longer gets lost between a phone call and an email.
On each order you assign a driver and a vehicle from your fleet records. Their status shows who is available, who is already on a trip and which vehicle is in the workshop, so the choice is made on data, not from memory.
The order moves through four statuses: planned, in transit, delivered and invoiced. The dispatcher updates the status as the trip progresses, and the monthly report shows this month’s revenue against last month and the on-time delivery rate. Delivered trips are invoiced through 4invoices.net.
The customer, origin and destination, freight type and weight, price and currency, distance in km, the planned date and, after delivery, the delivery date. You also assign a driver and a vehicle to the order.
No. The route is set by the dispatcher and the distance in km is entered manually on the order. 4transports keeps track of trips, assignments and statuses.
Planned, in transit, delivered and invoiced.
Through 4invoices.net, the invoicing platform of the 4b2b ecosystem.
Yes. The report shows the on-time delivery rate, the number of trips and this month’s revenue compared with last month.

4transports turns every trip into a transport order: customer, origin, destination, freight, date, assigned driver and vehicle, distance and price, with a status from planned to invoiced.
We are transparent — here is what 4transports does not do:
A fit for dispatch teams wanting transport orders and assignments in one place. It does not calculate routes automatically; the dispatcher sets the route.
| Feature | Limit / scope | Indicative cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet and driver management | Vehicles, drivers, inspection/insurance/licence/certificate deadlines | from €1/mo |
| Transport orders | Origin, destination, freight, price, driver + vehicle, status | included |
| CMR register | CMRs linked to trips | included |
| Maintenance | Interventions per vehicle, costs, due dates | included |
| Monthly report | Revenue, on-time deliveries, number of trips | included |
An honest comparison: 4transports is a record-keeping tool, not a vehicle-location system.
| Criterion | 4transports | Frotcom | Webfleet | Trimble | Transporeon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle and driver records with deadlines | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Transport orders with assigned driver and vehicle | Yes | Limited | Limited | Yes | Yes |
| CMR register linked to trips | Yes | Limited | Limited | Yes | Yes |
| Live vehicle tracking | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | No |
| Automatic route calculation | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Limited |
It keeps vehicles, drivers, customers, transport orders, the CMR register and maintenance in one place, with a monthly report on revenue and on-time deliveries. Trips are invoiced through 4invoices.net.
Yes. Vehicles carry inspection and insurance expiry dates, and drivers carry licence and professional certificate expiry dates.
No. The dispatcher sets the route and enters the distance on the order; the platform keeps track of trips and assignments.
No. 4transports has no vehicle tracking; the trip status (planned, in transit, delivered, invoiced) is updated by the dispatcher.
No. The platform keeps a register of CMRs linked to trips, without issuing or signing electronic documents.
