CargoAi has integrated its Quote & Book API with Descartes’ Global Price Management™ (GPM) system to enhance digital air cargo booking and rate management. The collaboration enables Descartes users to instantly access real‑time rates, schedules and capacity from over 106 connected airlines, simplifying the quoting and booking process. Freight forwarders and logistics providers using Descartes can now view and manage air cargo spot rates and reservations directly through CargoAi’s FlyWindow interface, ensuring continuous functionality even without direct airline API links.
The integration brings key advantages including immediate access to 670+ schedules and 160+ live freight rates, reduced manual processing and improved workflow efficiency. Automated booking capabilities replace traditional negotiations, helping users manage quotes and reservations faster and more accurately. The seamless link between CargoAi and Descartes empowers logistics professionals to optimize their purchasing decisions, save time and enhance transparency across transport operations.
This strategic partnership marks another step in accelerating digital supply chain transformation. By merging CargoAi’s dynamic booking technology with Descartes’ advanced rate management system, both companies aim to make air cargo procurement smarter, faster and more efficient while reducing friction and increasing visibility throughout global logistics networks.
Matt Petot, CEO of CargoAi, said: “Thanks to the integration of Quote & Book API and FlyWindow in Descartes GPM, we offer transport professionals a flexible, high-performance solution that automates and streamlines freight booking. This innovation marks a decisive step towards the digitalization of the sector.” Scott Sangster, General Manager, Logistics Services Providers at Descartes, commented: “The Descartes GPM solution helps companies elevate the customer experience, reduce operational stress, and maximize shipment margins by automating some of the most labor-intensive aspects of their business. With the CargoAi integration, customers can more efficiently and transparently search, compare, quote and book capacity directly from Descartes GPM.”
