Question 8
Is there enough space in the market for us?
Yes, for a focused wedge, with a window of two to three years
- 2–3 years of window for a focused wedge in a fragmented market
- What lasts: the verified history of events and their effect on real loads
- Who could follow: a TMS can add alerts, but not verified, multilingual events across seven countries
Why there is room98,277 registered hauliers, and the top 1.1% hold only a third of the fleet. Offices plan in Excel and WhatsApp; enterprise tools are priced for others.
Why nowUnplanned disruption is growing: 21 of 57 Kufstein dosing days in 2025 came outside the calendar, the Luegbrücke runs on one lane each way until 2030, and southern blockades cost €400M+ in eight days in October 2026.
The windowTwo to three years until TMS and telematics vendors add evening-before alerts. By then we want the verified event history and the association channels.
What we must earnA verified history of European road disruptions and their effect on real loads, an explainable matching engine, and trust through hauliers’ associations.
Our weak sideCalendars are free elsewhere and offices must share their plan. We count only unplanned events as value and accept the Excel they already have.
