FousTIMOCOM

Turn the TIMOCOM freight exchange into an API

Search the freight exchange on your routes, read the quotes on your freight offers and check a company profile with one API call each. Or have a workflow search your return-load routes before the dispatchers start and email you the new freight offers.

Works with your own TIMOCOM account. Fous is an independent product.

Automate TIMOCOM with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

  • New return loads on your routes, before dispatch starts

    Build this
    Starts
    Every weekday at 6:30
    Step 1
    For each route you name, search freight offers for today's and tomorrow's loading dates.
    Step 2
    Keep the freight offers that were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Email you the list, one section per route, with company name and TIMOCOM ID.
  • Quotes on your freight, posted to dispatch

    Build this
    Starts
    Every 15 minutes
    Step 1
    Get the quotes submitted on your published freight offers.
    Step 2
    Keep the quotes that were not there on the last run.
    Step 3
    Post each one, with freight offer, company, TIMOCOM ID and quoted price, to your Slack or TMS webhook.
  • Profile check for a new carrier

    Build this
    Starts
    When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a TIMOCOM ID
    Step 1
    Check the company profile for that TIMOCOM ID.
    Step 2
    Have an AI step list which documents are on the profile and whether the Checked Company seal is there.
    Step 3
    Post the profile and that summary back to your TMS webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Search freight offers on a route” would look like.

Example request
curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "my.timocom.com/search_freight_offers",
    "input": {
      "from": "Lyon, FR",
      "to": "Milan, IT",
      "radius_km": 50,
      "loading_date": "2026-11-13",
      "type_of_body": "Curtain"
    }
  }'
Example response
{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "count": 1,
    "offers": [
      {
        "company_name": "Northwind Logistics SARL",
        "timocom_id": "000000",
        "loading_place": "69007 Lyon, FR",
        "unloading_place": "20138 Milan, IT",
        "loading_date": "2026-11-13",
        "type_of_body": "Curtain",
        "length_m": 13.6,
        "weight_t": 22
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

TIMOCOM’s own options

TIMOCOM offers APIs for its freight exchange (offer and search), company profiles, transport orders, shipment tracking, tracking and Freight Price Insights. Access is not self-serve: you contact TIMOCOM for credentials, and every integration passes TIMOCOM's Business Approval before it reaches production. Setup runs in your TMS or ERP, and TIMOCOM lists no price.

Signing in to TIMOCOM

TIMOCOM signs you in at my.timocom.com with your email address and password, then a six-digit security code it emails to that address. Each employee has a user of their own. With Fous you sign in once through TIMOCOM's own sign-in with your own user: the login is sealed with AES-256, the emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

One user per employee
New employees are added with Add a user. Moving an existing account to someone else means a new registration and a call to TIMOCOM's customer service, so sign each method in with the user whose view it needs.
Searches are by route
TIMOCOM's own API filters freight searches by loading date, start, destination and vehicle, allows generic searches only with special permission, and says not to repeat a search on the same route within 45 seconds.
A Deal is not a transport order
Assigning freight in TIMOCOM Messenger is a Deal, a digital handshake. Only a TIMOCOM transport order is legally binding, and it is the prerequisite for Live Shipment Tracking.
Your exclusion list shapes results
Companies on your personal exclusion list no longer appear in your search results, and they do not see your offers. A method sees the same results as the user it signs in as.

Yes. With Fous you build a method that runs your freight search on my.timocom.com with your own user and returns the offers as JSON. A workflow can run it on a schedule for each of your routes and email you or post the new offers to a webhook.

On TIMOCOM, quotes on your freight appear in the overview of quotes for that offer. With Fous, a workflow can read that overview every 15 minutes, keep the quotes that are new since the last run and post them to your Slack or TMS by webhook.

TIMOCOM says setup in your TMS or ERP can take between 1 and 4 days. Before you go live, a member of TIMOCOM's product or partner management reviews the integration, and access to production is activated after that review.

No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own TIMOCOM user, and a method reads and does only what that user can.
