CARGO.ONE LAUNCHES NEXT GENERATION PLATFORM CARGO.ONE PRO

Cargo.one has launched the air cargo industry’s biggest step forward to date in equipping freight forwarders with seamless digital agent-to-agent bookings. cargo.one now enables importers to compare and book rates instantly with other verified forwarding partners 24/7. Export agents can win new business from import agents worldwide, all secured with global non-payment protection.

Before cargo.one pro, procuring rates from abroad took import agents hours or even days – a manual process made more inefficient by agents being located in different timezones, complicating communication. cargo.one pro now offers a step change experience with the opportunity to browse and book live airfreight and local charges from a wide range of verified export agents around the world. Shipments can be booked day and night, with instant confirmation, routing and airway bill details.

Import agents using cargo.one pro will often be the first to quote their customers, beating their competition by a wide margin. In an industry where speed is of the essence, this competitive advantage can lead them to win more business. cargo.one pro is equally exciting for export agents, who can offer live digital booking to their international partners through the platform. Instead of having to answer hundreds of requests from overseas import agents, export agents now simply receive confirmed shipments as import agents browse and book digitally.

Moreover, cargo.one pro provides an unprecedented opportunity for export agents to make new connections and receive digital bookings from a community of thousands of verified import agents around the globe. Prior to its official launch, export agents have served over 6,000 import shipment quote requests from 121 countries without the burden of manually replying to every request.

“cargo.one pro is a step change for our industry - like never before, import agents can compare and book rates instantly with verified export agents 24/7, and by listing their offers, export agents win new business from 120+ countries, even while they sleep,” Moritz Claussen, Founder & Co-CEO of cargo.one, said.

“cargo.one pro is a uniquely global solution and is exciting everybody who tries the platform, so we’re ambitious about the size of the community it is building. We have also had a strong interest and partnered with a number of popular forwarder networks, and so we have launched our Forwarder Network Partner Program which sees us collaborating to enrol their members into benefiting from cargo.one pro,” Claussen added.

Interest in cargo.one pro from freight forwarder networks has been remarkably strong. Forwarder networks are the foundation of connectivity and security between freight forwarders.

Networks enrolled into the program enable their members to book more easily with other members of the network through cargo.one pro. cargo.one can also offer digitalisation workshops, and preferential rates for cargo.one pro.
