When access is interrupted, the consequences are immediate. Forwarders lose visibility of available capacity, carriers miss load opportunities, and planned moves suddenly need to be reworked. The cost is not merely “operational”; this results in lost deals and – even worse – reduced confidence on both sides.
That is why platform reliability has become a competitive advantage in spot transport. Business continuity in this context means uninterrupted access to live loads, verified partners, secure transactions, and communication tools, available whenever the market moves, not only when conditions are ideal.
Why reliable access matters today
Transportation and storage remain among the EU’s most significant economic sectors, generating close to €1.9 trillion in net turnover (according to Eurostat). Road transport alone accounts for around 40% of the sector’s total value added, underlining its central role in European trade and supply chains.
In an industry of this scale, even short disruptions in access to freight capacity or digital services can have an immediate impact, from lost efficiency and missed spot-market opportunities to knock-on effects across wider supply chains. More plainly, logistics makes our world go round. When disruptions happen, they go far beyond the industry limits.
This is why business continuity is a practical priority rather than a theoretical exercise in road transport. Reliable digital platforms play a key role, helping logistics companies stay operational, react quickly to changing conditions, and maintain competitiveness in uncertain market environments.
