The problem

Freight diversion is exploding, going digital and getting targeted — and manual checks can no longer keep up.

You handle dozens of charters every day, under real constraints. Checking everything by hand is impossible. That’s exactly what criminals exploit in the digital age.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about carrier verification

What is carrier verification?

Carrier verification is the process of confirming a carrier is who they claim to be — checking their documents, identity and official records — before you assign them a load. Vectys automates it and returns a clear verdict in under three minutes.

How does Vectys detect freight fraud?

Vectys analyses hundreds of signals within and across the documents a carrier submits, cross-references them against external registries and its own database, and flags company impersonation, forged documents and digital compromise.

What documents are required to verify a carrier?

An insurance certificate, a transport licence, an email address and a mobile number are enough to run a check. The carrier can send them directly, or you can submit them yourself.

How long does a carrier check take?

Under three minutes. You receive a clear score with the points of attention identified — no waiting on manual back-and-forth.

Can Vectys detect forged transport licence?

Vectys inspects each document for internal inconsistencies — embedded codes and metadata — and cross-references it against external sources to surface alterations and likely forgeries.

What does a green, orange or red verdict mean?

Green means no inconsistencies were found and you can charter with confidence. Orange means inconsistencies were found and listed — verify them before committing. Red means major inconsistencies were found; do not charter before resolution.

Does Vectys replace human decision-making?

No. Vectys gives you a clear verdict and the reasons behind it, but the final decision stays yours. On orange verdicts, an optional in-depth human review is available with feedback within 72 hours.

Is carrier information kept confidential?

Yes. Only you receive the score, in full confidentiality.
