Map of European Courier & Parcel Express Networks

Compared to the United States, the parcel carrier landscape in Europe is still very diverse. A wide range of large and smaller networks operate on the continent. Some networks are fully owned by a single company, others consists of a series of strategic partnerships. After a long period of silence on the merger front we recently saw the attempt of UPS to take over the activities of TNT. Despite the fact that the take over was blocked by the EU Commission for Competition, market insiders have a strong believe that further consolidation in the European parcel market will be seen in the near future.  

The diversity of the European market has always been a blessing and a challenge at the same time. On the one hand the diversity gives the option of choice. On the other hand it is a struggle to find complete information on all players in the market. To date we have found it impossible to locate a single source showing all the European parcel networks. Therefore we have generated our own (first pass) map, showing for each European country which networks operate in the country. The markers on the map only indicate that a carrier has an operation in the country, it doesnot represent the exact location of the carrier. Our map is a work in progress project (last update 6JUN13) and will be refined further over time. We hope that you find this map usefull and we welcome your feedback on any omissions or corrections that are needed.

Notes to the map:

 

1. Each marker shows per country where a network is operational. A marker only shows a single location which is not the exact street address or city of the company but a generic placeholder to show a country location.
2. Some markers may be hidden on first glance. By zooming into the specific country more details will become visible.
3. By clicking a marker a popup will appear showing further information about the network.
4. The information shown in the map is indicative and no rights can be claimed from it.

 

Global Freight Audit & Payment Companies Map

Over the past decade we have seen the Freight Audit & Payment (FAP) industry expand its services on a global basis. The expansion has mainly taken place towards the European market however. But we also see initial expansion to the APAC region. The industry is still dominated by US based companies, but European based companies have also entered the market. In this blog we provide a map of the (physical) global locations of FAP companies.

 

Our FAP companies map is a work in progress project and we would welcome your feedback on any omissions or missing companies. So far, we have not been able to trace a single source for this type of information on the internet, that is why we decided to create this Freight Audit & Payment Company Overview. We hope that it is useful to our readers.

 

For the map we used companies that offer one or more of the following three main Freight Audit & Payment concept:

 

1) Pre-audit = Invoices are audited by the FAP vendor before they are paid to the carriers. This service is mostly offered on a per transaction basis.

 

2) Post-audit = Invoices are audited by the FAP vendor after they are paid to the carriers. This service is mostly offered on a percentage of savings basis.

 

3) Self Billing = Carriers receive a pre-advise from the FAP vendor on how much they can bill and are paid upon sending the correct invoice. This service is mostly offered on a per transaction basis.

 

 

Notes to the map:

 

1) By clicking a pointer further information about the related FAP company is displayed, this includes a link to the website of the company.

2) The location information is based on the published street address of the FAP company.

3) No rights can be claimed from this map.
