cargo.one goes live in Japan

cargo.one is expanding in Asia Pacific by making its marketplace available to freight forwarders in Japan.

Capacity is available from ANA Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo, and Finnair Cargo, with more airlines to be added in the coming weeks.

The marketplace, which is free of charge for freight forwarders, is available in Japanese, and cargo.one has opened an office in Tokyo and appointed Yoichi Mizuno as Country Manager for Japan.

Moritz Claussen, Founder and Co-CEO of cargo.one, says, “Together with many of the most important air cargo airlines, we now offer every Japanese freight forwarder the chance to modernize operations with easy and efficient bookings online. Japanese customers can expect cargo.one to help them rapidly raise performance, strengthen competitiveness and enhance their digital customer experiences.”

ANA Cargo has been selling its capacity on cargo.one since 2020. Ken Wakiya, EVP Global Cargo Marketing and Sales at ANA Cargo, says, “Our partnership is a clear example of how digital transformation can improve processes in air cargo, and accelerating it is ANA Cargo’s top priority in the short and the mid-long term. Leveraging the experience gained from Europe and North America, our team has received the first cargo.one bookings from Japanese forwarders, for which the process has been efficient and seamless.”

Finnair Cargo was one of cargo.one’s earliest partner, Senior Vice President Frederik Wildtgrube, says, “Digital bookings on cargo.one have been extremely popular with Finnair Cargo customers in Europe and North America. We are delighted to now offer our Japanese customers the same fully digital, first-class booking experience. Making our capacity available on cargo.one helps Finnair Cargo to increase customer value from digital and enables freight forwarders to remain agile and competitive.”
