History
Teleroute is an online freight and vehicle exchange and has been active in France and Europe since 1985. With the roll-out of the Minitel technology (3614 Lamy), Teleroute expanded its range of services to include computer-based services and later also a web-based platform.
In 1996, Teleroute, a subsidiary of the Lamy Group, became part of Wolters Kluwer. In 2000, Teleroute was integrated into a new structure for transport IT solutions[buzzword]: Wolters KluwerTransport Services (WKTS).
In 2005, WKTS took over the Nolis freight exchange, which was followed by the merger of the two freight exchanges in 2012. In the early 2010s, the Group decided to significantly expand its range of services in the field of transportation management system (TMS) through the integration of the software solutions[buzzword] Transwide (Charger TMS).
On 30 June 2017, Wolters Kluwer Transport Services was officially taken over by Castik Capital with the aim of creating a leading portfolio of companies in the TMS sector. Since 1 October 2017, WKTS has been operating officially under the name of Alpega.

A freight exchange or load board is an online service for haulage companies, logistics providers, freight forwarders, transport companies and private customers. It allows haulage companies to search a database of available freight that needs to be delivered and advertise their available vehicle capacity. Logistics providers and freight forwarders can advertise their freight loads that need delivering and also match their freight loads to the available vehicle capacity. These systems provide a platform that allows carriers to communicate freight traffic information to fellow operators such as transporters, forwarders and logistics companies. They allow forwarders to advertise their freight either privately or publicly to a large number of freight operators that are looking for loads. They also allow freight operators to offer vehicle space. Online systems are often subscription-based with a small charge for advertising (posting) and searching (consulting). Some freight exchanges operate without monthly fees. They charge transport providers only a success fee, which is payable when the quote is accepted.
