Released June 13, Freightos’ newest product offers instant prices for air freight shipments from nearly every global airline, and the ability to book real-time capacity with carriers such as British Airways, Iberia, Air France-KLM, and Lufthansa.
WebCargo has helped top forwarders automate rate management and back-office operations since 2008 and, today, provides over 1,400 logistics providers with access to live pricing and e-booking. WebCargo Sky will make access to pricing available to any IATA-accredited forwarders for free.
Said WebCargo CEO Manel Galindo, “Air cargo connectivity is at a tipping point and WebCargo Sky makes it accessible to any forwarder. As the industry’s most comprehensive e-Booking platform, Sky automates pricing from hundreds of airlines, even those without automated pricing, enabling industry-wide connectivity.”
“By 2020, air cargo will routinely be priced dynamically and booked digitally. By providing WebCargo Sky for free to air forwarders, there are zero barriers for forwarders and airlines to communicate online through WebCargo. This will provide better service to air shippers, including capacity visibility on specific flights,” commetned Zvi Schreiber, CEO of the Freightos Group.
WebCargo Sky reportedly saves forwarder sales teams one hour per salesperson per day, as well as an 85% reduction in time spent managing sales/bookings.
