CargoTech driving AI innovation and growth in 2026

Currently, four air cargo tech expert companies: Wiremind, CargoAi, Rotate, and Aerios, make up CargoTech. Together they cover a large part of the air cargo logistics supply chain (including charter operations) and offer a total of 16 digital solutions and services to date, ranging from data analytics through to quoting, booking, load planning, and consulting services, and the world’s first charter app solution. According to Cédric Millet, President of CargoTech, 2026 will build on the strong success of 2025, and see growth both on the member front (two more companies are in the pipeline) and on the product and services on offer – with a particular focus on AI capabilities: “We are planning on delivering 9 new products and services over the course of this year, including new AgentAi functionalities and Rotate’s unique Data Services vertical.” In line with CargoTech’s mission to accelerate the digitalization of the air cargo industry wherever it makes sense, Rotate’s expert consultant team with knowledge of tech and cargo, can quickly work out the best plan of action for any cargo company looking to improve its digital transition.

CargoTech’s plan for 2026 centers on four main strategic priorities: more members, more new products, business processes consolidation, and continuing to drive digitalization within the air cargo industry. It caters to airlines, forwarders, GSAs, GHAs, shippers. Already over 105 airlines and 23,000 forwarders are connected to CargoAi’s Market Place, and 100+ companies use Rotate’s market data. “Our software is developed by cargo people who know the pain points of the industry,” Millet points out. “Our customers often highlight that cargo is different from the passenger side of the industry, and therefore you will never find CargoTech taking existing digital solutions and ‘fine-tuning’ them to match air cargo business requirements. Instead, we develop cargo-specific use cases, models, and products that are now used by an increasing number of leading air cargo companies.”

Given CargoTech’s expansion to 120+ employees since it launched in 2022, a technology center of excellence is being established in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where all Accounting, Finance, and Legal and Communications processes will be centralized. Also: “This technology center of excellence […] will serve as a secondary hub for hiring software and digital talents to accelerate product development and enhance customer support. It will complement our member’s headquarters around the globe (Wiremind in Paris, CargoAi in Singapore, and Aerios in London), and offer improved client coverage across time zones,” Millet concludes.
