The system-to-system connectivity provides freight forwarders with access to schedules, availability, pricing and ebookings without leaving CargoWise or rekeying information.
ANA’s information is also available on CargoWise’s AirlineConnect marketplace, allowing freight forwarders to review, compare and select offers from multiple airlines in one transaction.
Kenichi Wakiya, Executive Vice President, Cargo Marketing & Services at ANA and President and CEO of ANA Cargo, says, “ANA serves the world with key routes and we are focused on providing a cargo system that is easy and efficient for forwarders to conduct business on our network utilising the systems they already use. Our integration with CargoWise enables seamless data transmission, creating an efficient and simplified booking experience for our major customers.”
DHL Global Forwarding is the first freight forwarder to benefit from the new service.
Max Sauberschwarz, Head of Global Air Freight at DHL Global Forwarding, says, “At DHL we are committed to delivering excellence in a digital world. The direct data exchange means we can plan, book and manage shipments directly with ANA Cargo from within CargoWise, making our services more convenient and efficient for our customers.”
Scott McCorquodale, Head of Airline Connectivity at WiseTech Global, adds, “ANA plays an important role in facilitating trade between Japan and the rest of the world, so the ability for our freight forwarders to access real-time flight availability and pricing information and complete their bookings on ANA, all without leaving CargoWise, will drive greater efficiency and accuracy across the supply chain.”
