Our take

Cargo.one believes in smarter air cargo booking by digitising the air freight industry, providing a platform for booking and marketing air freight capacity. This approach to offer over 2.2 million monthly bookable quotes for multiple airlines makes it the first booking platform of its type.

In the past, a freight forwarder’s time was often spent manually searching for capacity and the best rates for clients. Fragmented communication during the booking process often created small errors that, at times, inevitably led to completely paused bookings. These dated ways of conducting business through ineffective communication have cost forwarders time and money.

Cargo.one's ease of use helps users book in as little as 39 seconds, get real-time insights into market developments to make informed decisions, and offer clients the best support to improve customer service. The cargo.one team combines expertise in the modernisation of B2B processes with extensive experience in building businesses to offer users the best service possible.

The company is partnered with over 15 airlines including Etihad, Lufthansa, Finnair, and AirBridgeCargo, and serves an increasing number of over 2,000 freight companies, including DACHSER, Agility Logistics, and Hellmann Worldwide Logistics. It is launching more large airline partners onto the platform in each quarter during 2022, and is developing new solutions and products with its airline partners.
