WESTMINSTER, CO, Sep 3, 2025 – Trimble’s Freight Marketplace has added Procter & Gamble (P&G) as its first shipper in North America, connecting shippers, brokers, and carriers on one platform to streamline procurement, enable capacity sourcing, and streamline supply chain operations. Freight Marketplace has been available in Europe since 2023 via the Transporeon platform.
Freight Marketplace is a centralized digital platform for freight procurement that allows carriers and shippers to expand their transportation networks. It supports partner discovery and negotiable competitive rates for lane level and spot bidding. The platform automates the bidding process to create an efficient experience for both carriers and shippers. It also offers mini-bids for single-lane shipments with specific contract periods and volume commitments. For added security, Freight Marketplace uses AI-powered verification to check carrier identity and insurance information, replacing manual processes and standardizing freight transactions.
“We are thrilled to welcome P&G to the Freight Marketplace to the Freight Marketplace as we roll it out across North America,” said Michael Kornhauser, sector vice president, transportation and logistics at Trimble. “As a longtime user of Trimble solutions, P&G’s adoption underscores our commitment to enable a connected ecosystem that addresses the complexities of today’s supply chain and procurement process. By collaborating with companies like P&G to streamline their bidding process, we’re helping save time, money and resources to foster productivity and efficiency across the industry.”
“For a company of our scale, managing numerous mini bids is a complex and time-consuming endeavor. Freight Marketplace helps to simplify and support our bidding processes,” said Emily Conner, senior director of transportation purchases, North America market operations at Procter & Gamble. “The platform saves us time while enabling us to discover new, reliable carrier partners and strengthen our relationships with existing partners.”
