About BtrustUP

BtrustUP is the brand and product of BTRUST.PL sp. z o.o. (Żory, Silesia, Poland), which develops a tool for managing the risks of working with road transport subcontractors.

Positioning: “Not just another business information agency.” Business information agencies and registers confirm that a company exists; BtrustUP helps users understand what the data means and where risks begin, including whether someone is impersonating a legitimate business.

Product: carrier verification platform

BtrustUP is a web application (SaaS) in which a freight forwarder can verify a carrier or subcontractor in minutes. The system retrieves real-time data from official public government registers, compares it with a proprietary database of violations covering businesses across Europe, and returns structured results with clear warnings.

What it does

  • Standardises subcontractor due diligence.
  • Reduces the time spent manually checking multiple sources.
  • Documents each check with a timestamped report.
  • Warns about risks: fake carriers, service fraud and impersonation of legitimate companies.

What it is not

  • It is not a business information agency or merely a database.
  • It does not require sensitive information about customers, routes or rates.
  • It does not replace company procedures; it supports them as part of risk management.

How to use it

  • In a browser: app.btrustup.eu.
  • Through an API integrated with a TMS.
  • Unlimited users and team subaccounts.

Platform features

BtrustUP provides 10 key features, from real-time verification and a report archive to API access and free training.

Who BtrustUP is for – B2B

BtrustUP is exclusively for businesses (B2B) in transport, forwarding and logistics: freight forwarders, logistics operators and shippers that subcontract transport and want to reduce fraud and losses before they occur.

Freight forwarding company owner

  • Protection against losses
  • Safer business growth
  • Less management stress
  • Business support

Chief financial officer

  • Lower risk of financial losses
  • Predictable subscription costs
  • Flexible costs matched to business scale
  • More predictable budgeting

Product / freight forwarding director

  • A standardised verification process
  • Faster decisions
  • Protection of earned margins
  • Fewer errors caused by inconsistent procedures

Team leader

  • Better process oversight
  • Consistent team standards
  • Higher quality of forwarding work
  • Less time correcting errors

Threats it helps protect against

BtrustUP warns about six common transport fraud patterns: fake carriers, fake emails or domains, substituted vehicles, last-minute carrier changes, forged documents and hijacked communications.

  1. Fake carrier — a fraudster uses a real company's details to take over an order while posing as its representative.
  2. Fake email / domain — a contact looks legitimate but differs by one character; the order goes to an impostor.
  3. Substituted vehicle — a different vehicle arrives for loading than the one agreed, and the cargo disappears.
  4. Last-minute carrier change — a “replacement” takes the goods, supposedly because of technical problems.
  5. Forged documents — documents look genuine but contain altered contact information or other details.
  6. Hijacked communications — a fraudster gains access to a carrier's freight exchange messenger or business email account, for example through phishing.

Frequently stolen goods

  • Confectionery and food
  • Household appliances, audiovisual equipment and electronics
  • Alcohol
  • Meat and fish
  • Photovoltaic equipment
  • Metals and raw materials
  • Electronics and components
  • Electric bicycles
  • Automotive parts
  • Branded clothing and footwear
  • Cigarettes and tobacco products
  • Medicines and pharmaceuticals
  • Catalytic converters
  • Crop protection products
  • Perfumes and luxury cosmetics

Why standard checks are not enough

  • Data alone is not enough — registers show that a company exists but cannot confirm whether someone is impersonating it.
  • Fraud is not obvious — most cases appear legitimate; the differences are in the details.
  • Insurance does not always cover the loss — cover applies only under specified conditions. Incorrect verification may leave liability with the freight forwarder (see the article).
  • Time pressure increases risk — decisions under pressure are when errors most often occur.

Pricing and free trial
