Turkish Cargo has directly integrated its management system, COMIS, with CargoWise, thus offering eReservation services to freight forwarders and 3PLs worldwide and streamlining their operations, since they do not need to leave the CargoWise system to make bookings. The press release states that shippers [sic] now have real-time access to air cargo rates, flight availability, and make and receive booking confirmations directly within the CargoWise platform. This API connection enhances efficiency by reducing manual data entry errors, increasing transparency, and lowering operational costs. The integration also underlines Turkish Cargo’s commitment to digital transformation as it focuses on providing improved and more flexible solutions to its customers.
Selçuk Gençaslan, Turkish Airlines’ Senior Vice President of Cargo Marketing, explained: “As Turkish Cargo, we transport approximately 2 million tons of cargo to over 360 destinations within our flight network every year. Our wide flight network and high capacity allow us to be globally accessible while offering competitively cost-effective, innovative solutions. Consequently, we focus on offering digital solutions to our customers by swiftly adapting to the evolving dynamics of the industry and thus, we are pleased to advance our mission of delivering the best service to our customers through this collaboration with CargoWise.”
Jorre Cobelens, Vice President – Logistics Data and Connectivity at WiseTech Global, commented: “By establishing direct data connectivity with Turkish Cargo, we enable our CargoWise customers to efficiently process tens of thousands of unique shipments on the world’s largest air cargo network from within CargoWise. This increases productivity for the entire industry during and after the eBooking process, avoids double data entry, reduces human errors, and eliminates unnecessary emails. The API integration provides Turkish Cargo’s customers with real-time communication directly within CargoWise, which also includes the ability to modify a booking until final execution of the Master Air Waybill. With this partnership, the transparent data sharing enables Turkish Cargo to optimize their planning and capacity management.”
