About Trusted Carrier

Trusted Carrier provides verified digital data for transportation partners in the chemical logistics sector. Documentation accuracy, security, and compliance aren't optional in this industry. They're regulated requirements.

Before working with us, the industry ran on paper-based processes and fragmented data management. Drivers waited through manual verification procedures at chemical plant facilities. The same vehicle data got entered repeatedly across different stakeholders. Documentation errors created compliance risks.

Trusted Carrier's goal: build an interconnected platform for secure document storage, quality-assured vehicle master data management, and digital networking across the entire chemical transportation ecosystem.

  • Market

    Chemical logistics and verified transportation data.
  • Partnership began

    2015.
  • Focus

    Replacing paper-based documentation with centralized verification and validated digital data.

The challenge

Market context

Chemical logistics operates under strict regulatory requirements and safety standards, but the industry relied on paper documentation and manual verification. That created inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and compliance risks that couldn't scale.

The problems

Six structural problems made paper-based logistics unsustainable:

  • Paper-based overhead

    Transportation partners managed thousands of documents weekly through manual processes. Drivers waited through verification procedures at every facility.
  • Repetitive data entry

    The same vehicle and driver data got entered multiple times across different stakeholders. Each entry introduced potential errors.
  • Slow verification

    Every driver check-in and vehicle approval required manual document inspection. Bottlenecks at chemical plant facilities reduced throughput.
  • Security gaps

    Manual processes introduced errors and vulnerabilities in an industry where data integrity is non-negotiable for safety compliance.
  • Regulatory complexity

    Chemical logistics demands compliance across 22 European languages and jurisdictions. That requires encrypted data, secure authentication, and audit trails.
  • No digital networking

    Traditional business card exchanges and manual contact management couldn't support trusted digital partner networks at scale.

Constraints

The platform had strict technical requirements:

  • Cross-platform requirement

    Mobile apps needed to work on iOS and Android from a single codebase.
  • Offline functionality mandatory

    Drivers need access to critical documents without internet connectivity.
  • Security architecture

    Biometric authentication, encrypted local storage, and advanced encryption protocols (ECDH, AES).
  • ERP integration

    Integration with chemical plant systems (BASF, Henkel) while maintaining data quality and security.

The goal

Build three interconnected products: CTC Wallet for document management, CTC Asset for vehicle master data, and CTC vCard for digital networking. Enable "one-time data input, centralized verification, and validated digital data" across chemical logistics operations EU-wide.
