RUSSIA's
Air Bridge Cargo has announced it has
brought its real-time pricing and booking capabilities completely online
through a partnership with WebCargo.
Freight forwarders can now price
and book cargo digitally, with real-time capacity visibility, for almost 40
routes between North America, Asia, and Europe, reports the American Journal of
Transportation.
This bold step is extremely
timely, as logistics providers and importers continue to play a vital role in
keeping global supply chains running during the Covid-19 pandemic. This has led
to rapid capacity and pricing fluctuations, requiring the combination of
real-time information and cargo capacity.
Access to digital, real-time air
cargo has become critical as logistics providers work to keep global goods
moving, said a company statement. With over 30 per cent of the world's air
cargo volumes being managed by WebCargo customers, the ability to book cargo in
real-time is a game changer, it said.
"The impact of Covid-19
across the globe is unprecedented, we need to be online for our customers now
more than ever." said Air
Bridge Cargo European chief AndreyAndreev.
"We plan to quickly extend
our online offering to new commodity types and together with internal
developments in the area of dynamic pricing, this partnership is very well
aligned for us," he said.
Said WebCargo
CEO Manel Galindo: "Air carriers
have a unique and important role to play keeping global trade moving,
especially during crises. WebCargo is proud to partner with airlines like Air
Bridge Cargo who are stepping up to the logistics challenges of Covid-19 and
quickly implementing digital tools like our ebooking platform."
WebCargo has been chosen by major
airline groups such as Lufthansa,
AF KLM, IAG Cargo, Etihad Cargo, and
more, for ebooking and online rate distribution. Logistics providers who are IATA members can access dynamic capacity, pricing, and ebooking
by signing up at webcargo.co.
