Lufthansa Cargo using digital platform to market air cargo capacities in real time

Lufthansa Cargo is enabling forwarders to book global airfreight capacity at live spot rates with immediate confirmation through new platform, cargo.one.

cargo.one, the provider of an airline-independent digital platform for marketing and booking of air freight capacities, and Lufthansa Cargo haves signed a co-operation contract. The partnership enables airfreight forwarders to book available capacities for td.Flash and td.Pro digitally and in real time, across the entire available Lufthansa Cargo network.

The platform available at www.cargo.one offers customers an up-to-date online offering. Here, all important information about the connections as well as the capacity-dependent and dynamic live spot rates are displayed. For each connection, numerous alternatives are displayed at a glance so that the optimal offer can be found quickly.

Founder of cargo.one, Oliver Neumann, commented: " Many solutions on the market promise digital bookability. The reality is that in most cases the rates offered do not give access to capacity. In particular, at times of high demand, our solution offers airfreight forwarders a quick and easy access to capacities with immediate confirmation at live spot rates.”

"Digitisation allows information to be distributed around the globe in fractions of a second. This has given rise to new expectations with which both carriers and freight forwarders are confronted. We are therefore now offering our customers the opportunity to exchange prices and capacities even faster and to book services even easier," said Peter Gerber, Chairman of the Board of Lufthansa Cargo. "Booking platforms such as cargo.one will in future support forwarders in meeting their customers' needs even better. This is the next logical step in the digitisation of our industry.”
