Antonia Ambrozy, our Head of Sales Europe & Sales Excellence, explores how cargo.one can help you book more capacity digitally
cargo.one is pushing hard to support freight forwarders in dozens of countries to make the switch to digital. We have always seen huge potential to transform the daily experiences of forwarders and bring transparency, speed and convenience within reach.
Our team builds cargo.one with forwarders for forwarders. Our marketplace has grown tremendously with over 12,000 users now in all corners of the world. Put simply, cargo.ones offers forwarders the most customer-friendly way to book capacities on leading airlines digitally, and thus also helps airlines at the same time to thrive from digital distribution.
cargo.one is today available in dozens of the world’s most important markets - including North America, Latin America, 19 European nations, Japan, Singapore, India and Brazil. In fact, the continual addition of new capacities to cargo.one adds weight to encourage and drive digital transformation (DX) for forwarders in many markets.
Currently with 40+ bookable airlines, no other platform delivers more airlines for instant digital booking. cargo.one now offers the world’s largest airline, the airline with the largest global network, and the European, North American and Japanese market leaders - meaning around half of all global air cargo capacity is now within easy digital reach for our customers.
Since 2018, we have partnered with leading global airlines - such as Lufthansa Cargo, ANA Cargo and Air Canada. This year has seen a particular acceleration with large airline groups, combined airlines and smaller players alike coming on board. For example, Qatar Airways is the largest cargo airline worldwide with 69 dedicated freighter destinations and more than 106 belly-hold passenger destinations worldwide.
For forwarders using cargo.one, the recent addition of Qatar Airways Cargo added 2,000 completely new O&D pairs, and 3,000 additional flights per month. For some of the most popular searches on our platform - such as FRA to BOM, FRA to DOH, LHR to HKG, JFK to DEL, LAX to JNB - there are now more capacity choices courtesy of Qatar Airways.
Likewise, our latest airline partner Turkish Cargo now offers our customers 340 destinations, 100 of direct cargo, and flies to more countries than any other airline. The combination of Turkish Cargo’s largest air cargo carrier network worldwide and cargo.one’s seamless digital booking experience now delivers every freight forwarder a valuable proposition.
Since October, the expansion of our partnership with Air France KLM Martinair Cargo has brought the airline’s 295 shipping destinations across 110 countries to more forwarders than ever before. Its dual hubs of Paris Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol offer forwarders speed and reliability.
The diversity of our supply is also a key strength for our customers to rely upon. We have become the go-to digital sales channel for national carriers, meaning that forwarders can leverage the very best regional connectivity. For example, recent partners such as ITA Airways Cargo, Avianca Cargo and JALCARGO enable unrivaled access into national markets and the flexibility of their strong domestic networks.
Of course, we don’t concentrate only on supply level or volumes. Service level is what differentiates cargo.one - by guaranteeing the best customer experience, accessibility, offer quality and support, enables us to deliver the best digital success for forwarders. cargo.one is the ideal platform to help you book more often online. For example, you may not be aware that with selected airlines, we offer instant bookings for both passively cooled and perishable shipments.
We are committed to helping forwards make this peak season their most productive for digital bookings. There has never been a better time to switch more shipments to use 24/7 digital booking on cargo.one. Our team is on hand to help advise, support or demonstrate any time you need us.
