Fresh core updates
Start from the most recently maintained core segments
The homepage now also highlights the freshest core segments, so users can jump into markets that were updated most recently instead of only starting from the static overview cards.
Cross-Border Freight Operations × Austria
Added as the next inland comparison market from the backlog, giving Finder a non-port Central European contrast to Slovenia and Croatia's Adriatic gateway coverage.
Cross-Border Freight Operations × Bulgaria
Added as a sixth CEE cross-border freight comparison market after Slovakia, giving Finder a stronger Southeastern Europe and Black Sea corridor lens alongside the existing Central European set.
Cross-Border Freight Operations × Croatia
Added as an eighth CEE / Balkan cross-border freight comparison market after Serbia, giving Finder an EU Adriatic counterpoint to Serbia's inland non-EU corridor profile.
Cross-Border Freight Operations × Hungary
Added as a fourth CEE cross-border freight comparison market after Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania, strengthening Finder's view of inland intermodal and corridor-heavy freight execution in Central Europe.
Cross-Border Freight Operations × Italy
Added as the backlog's next Alpine comparison after Switzerland, so Finder can compare Swiss and Austrian transit geography against Northern Italy's destination-market, port, and intermodal execution layer.
Cross-Border Freight Operations × Serbia
Added as a seventh CEE / Balkan cross-border freight comparison market after Bulgaria, giving Finder a non-EU inland corridor lens that adds border-processing and regional-hub context to the existing EU-heavy set.
