The collaboration will enable freight forwarders to seamlessly book NCA’s main deck capacities on the platform with instant confirmation. Offering its capacities for booking on cargo.one will allow NCA to further expand its reach into the European market by gaining access to cargo.one’s growing user base of more than 300 freight forwarding companies.
Hiroyuki Homma, Director, Head of Sales, Marketing, Business strategy of NCA comments: “We are very happy to announce our partnership with state-of-the-art e-booking platform cargo.one and are looking forward to enabling our customers to book capacities with us in a new and seamless manner.”
cargo.one will be utilising the newly developed one.connect for the first time, further simplifying its integration processes with airlines. one.connect is a single standardised technology layer that will enable connections to a large number of airline legacy systems in a simplified manner.
“Joining cargo.one is a logical step for us in executing our digital strategy. It will enhance our customers’ experience and help us reach new customer segments. cargo.one has proven to be a reliable, innovative and fast-moving partner to a growing number of airlines and we are happy to take the lead as the first Asian carrier to join the platform,” says Satoshi Shimura, Vice President, General Manager and Head of Business Digitalization of NCA.
Elad Eyal, Airfreight Center Specialist at TNT Express and frequent cargo.one user is happy about the new partnership, “It’s great to see that cargo.one is now signing new airlines by the month. cargo.one is already the go-to platform for digital booking and as the offering grows, it will surely become the industry-standard,” he comments.
Integration work to connect NCA’s core cargo system iCargo to cargo.one will start later in the year, with the launch of NCA capacities on cargo.one anticipated until late Q1 2020.
