Working with cargo.one means DB Schenker can better identify suitable capacity and rates for ad-hoc shipments.
DB Schenker’s digital infrastructure for airfreight integrates six systems with customers seeing all processes combined in the DB Schenker connect system to receive rate offers and see status updates for their shipments.
The addition of spot capacities and trade lanes is available immediately and without changes to the customer interface.
Christa Koenen, Global Board Member for Information Technology and Digitalization at DB Schenker, says, “Efficiency gains accomplished through IT help to make the entire logistics industry more resource efficient. The more carriers DB Schenker connects to digitally, and thus automates and optimises processes, the better the final choice for our customers will be. The concept is comparable with automated last-minute deals from airlines or travel agents.”
Moritz Claussen, Founder and Co-CEO of cargo.one, says, “DB Schenker has chosen cargo.one to further speed up its path to powerful digital transformation. We are thrilled to provide a state-of-the-art air freight procurement platform that boosts efficiency, accuracy, and user-friendliness for our new partner. With cargo.one’s top-tier infrastructure, DB Schenker can elevate customer satisfaction and sharpen its competitive edge.”
