The CargoTech member specialized in software for air cargo charter processes, announced the release of its first product this week, and hints at more to come sonn. Simply called the Carrier App, Aerios’ solution is designed as a charter management system for cargo charter carriers. Until now, this has been a digitally neglected niche given the complexity of the business. It is largely ad hoc and unpredictable, thus falls out of the norm when it comes to the usual sales tools. The result? Carriers either have to spend large amounts of money to adapt their chosen CRM tool or to develop their own solution, or to simply stick with a mostly manual process with all the scope for error and inefficiency that it brings. The Carrier App promises to do away with that inefficiency and instead offers data insights and market trends so as to benefit to the full from revenue potentials, while customers benefit from a quicker and streamlined service. “Aerios’ charter management system is built to meet the unique demands of the charter market and seamlessly integrates with flight operations, CRM and communication systems, to create a single digital workflow. The Carrier App offers three key benefits: increased efficiency, maximized revenues, and an informed team. The increase in efficiency comes from automating manual, repetitive tasks in a single tool to create one consistent process across the entire team. The Carrier App does away with the cumbersome and error-prone use of spreadsheets combined with group email inboxes, where requests, quotes and key CRM data has to be manually entered and maintained. Nor does it require expensive or lengthy IT integrations or adaptations,” the release states.
Simon Watson, Founder of Aerios, stated: “Our mission at Aerios, is to enable brokers, charter professionals and carriers to work more efficiently, surface real time-data and maximize revenue opportunities in the air cargo charter market. We do that by designing software that enables your team to spend less time on traditional manual processes and more time on relationships and growth. I am proud to launch the first version of our Carrier App, which has been built in conjunction with a number of cargo charter carriers, following extensive trials and a large number of research workshops The Carrier App is already live with a group of carriers, and we will be announcing our airline partnerships in the coming months.”
