The GIFTS project has developed an open access Internet portal/e-marketplace providing high-technology services to the transport and logistics industry in the European Union, in particular addressing the needs of operators, service providers and end users working in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

GIFTS addressed the Task 1.5.1 (Intelligent Transport Infrastructures – 3rd bullet of Focus: Advanced IST systems for supporting logistics and co-operative resource management for the whole Transport chain) of the INFSO R&D programme, focusing on optimizing freight transport in Europe. The project aimed at improving and integrating in one platform existing and emerging intermodal freight transport technologies.
