Our take
Whilst purchasing a plane ticket online is an easy transaction, booking freight shipments on that very same plane remains a time-consuming, complex task. To remedy this, Spanish-founded WebCargo (which is owned by Freightos) offers a platform with various cargo booking solutions.
Currently deployed by upwards of 10,000 forwarders, the platform supports the pricing and booking of cargo across over 40 airlines. WebCargo continues to bolster its offering, for example with its launch of a feature which enables digital interlining (where one airline sells services to a customer that are provided by another airline).
It is clear that WebCargo is committed to enhancing the value it brings to its clients, that include Panalpina, Hellmann and IAG Cargo. Recently, the company secured a partnership with Wideroe, the largest Nordic airline, and has also collaborated with Chapman Freeborn, a leading aircraft charter company, to bring additional global capacity from their global charter business to its platform.
