What is TETA?
TETA (Technology Enabled Trading Alliance) is a UK-based digital technology company. We build software that makes cross border trade faster, more compliant, and less dependant on paper. Our flagship platform, Signal, gives hauliers and food exporters the tools they need to move goods across borders with confidence- before the lorry leaves not after it reaches the border.
Know Before You Go
Signal lets you know if your shipment will clear the border before it leaves.
TETA’s Signal platform validates regulatory compliance, commercial documentation, and real-world cold chain conditions to produce a single pre-shipment decision. Reducing the number of surprises at the border.
Signal provides every actor in the supply chain with the data and documentation they need, when they need it.
The Problem
Most shipment issues are discovered too late.
By the time a food export reaches an EU Border Control Post, the damage is already done. A missing certificate, a temperature excursion, a mismatch between your packing list and CMR — any one of these can stop a shipment in its tracks.
This leads to delays, financial costs and strain on resources with excess time spent resolving the problem.
Border rejection Shipments turned away at EU Border Control Posts, often with no route back.
Product destruction High-value temperature-controlled goods destroyed on-site at significant cost.
Supply chain disruption Missed delivery windows, contract penalties, and reputational damage with buyers.
Less risk. More confidence. Complete records
Signal is a pre-shipment intelligence platform built for EU → UK food imports & exports. Providing all supply chain actors the data they need when they need it. Perfect for both hauliers and food importers/exporters.
It brings together regulatory rules, commercial documents, and live sensor data producing a single, clear outcome before your shipment departs.
Signal doesn’t make assumptions, it collates legal, commercial, physical and logistical data to ensure all documents are present before a consignment reaches the border.
How can signal help my business?
Signal fixes the operational and compliance challenges of running a haulage or export business in one connected platform.
Your drivers get an app on their phone- iOS or Android, no specialist hardware required.
When they deliver, they capture proof of delivery on the spot and it reaches your office instantly. Customs barcodes and border documentation are sent directly to their phone with confirmed receipt. You can see where every vehicle is in real time.
Every document, invoices, packing lists, CMR’s sits in one central repository where everything is auditable.
If your running freight into the UK or Europe, Signal goes further. Validating compliance documents, reconciling customs paperwork and pulling in live sensor data to verify cold chain conditions.
Why Is Signal different?
TETA has developed Signal, a platform which provides both logistics tools to monitor vehicles and compliance systems to manage certification. We utilise IoT sensors to monitor light and temperature data on all our customers vehicles.
Signal is the only platform that combines all four areas; legal, commercial, physical, and logistical.
Signal is more than a pre-shipment compliance tool. It’s a complete operational platform for hauliers, exporters, and freight operators — giving every actor in the supply chain the data and documentation they need, when they need it.
