Wiremind launches air cargo business unit

Wiremind has launched a dedicated air cargo business unit as digitalisation in the industry accelerates.

The software and data-science company was established in 2014 to optimise systems in the transport and logistics industries.

Its SkyPallet product was launched in 2017 for ULD and flight optimisation to address the common pain points of the imbalance of operational knowledge, the lack of continuity between sales and operations, and airline pricing strategies often overlooking the volume factor.

It has more than 1,200 users in 100 countries including major industry players such as Atlas Air, ECS Group and Chapman Freeborn.

Nathanael de Tarade, Chief Commercial Officer of Wiremind says: “There is huge potential for further digitalisation in air cargo, yet the industry currently lacks data science expertise at the right level. We know that it can certainly benefit from similar technology, such as deep learning models, for example, that we have successfully deployed on large-scale projects in several industries.”

Wiremind has doubled the size of its air cargo team and aims to triple it within the coming months.
