Air cargo booking platform, cargo.one, has launched new functionality enabling Descartes’ transportation management system (TMS) users to quote and book air freight directly within their TMS. Thanks to the integration of cargo.one’s Air Freight Integration Module, TMS users benefit from streamlined workflows, greater efficiency, and they no longer need to manually enter data since booking details are automatically uploaded into Descartes’ system. With access to cargo.one’s network of over 65 live airline integrations, forwarders can instantly search, compare, quote, and book air cargo capacity from within Descartes’ TMS. They are offered a comprehensive, real-time overview of competitive rates and market options, allowing them to make bookings quicker and in better quality.
Kenneth Wood, Executive Vice President of Product Management at Descartes, said: “Integrating cargo.one’s global carrier connectivity within our TMS helps customers gain ground in delivery performance, differentiate themselves from competitors, and grow their revenue. Descartes TMS and cargo.one functionality working in unison is enhancing user experiences and helping forwarders to do their best work.”
Moritz Claussen, Founder & Co-CEO of cargo.one, commented: “Building advanced solutions with TMS leaders like Descartes is an important way for cargo.one to further contribute to a more connected supply chain. By leveraging cargo.one directly within their familiar Descartes TMS, forwarders will enjoy powerful operational and business benefits, combined with simplicity and convenience.”
