QCargo has launched the first AI-powered verification and compliance platform designed specifically for the air cargo and freight forwarding industry, aiming to solve the sector’s long-standing challenge of lengthy and manual partner checks. Traditionally, verifying certifications, financial health, and compliance status could take between two and four weeks. QCargo’s AI now reduces this process to just 24 hours by automatically cross-referencing company data with certification registries, industry databases, and global sanctions lists.
The platform offers three integrated capabilities that reshape how freight forwarders manage trust and compliance. Its Independent Company Verification feature confirms credentials, assesses financial stability, and performs Ultimate Beneficial Owner and sanctions checks. Verified firms receive a QCargo badge that can be displayed in tenders and marketing materials. Through its AI-Powered Partner Verification module, users can instantly evaluate any partner’s compliance and financial standing before agreements are signed. Meanwhile, the Export Control Module screens export documents and HS codes against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions databases, flagging potential violations within seconds.
Developed by industry experts and supported by international cargo associations, QCargo brings a new level of transparency and efficiency to freight forwarding, transforming weeks of manual verification into a process completed within minutes.
Turgut Erkeskin, President & CEO of Genel Transport, said: “In today’s complex and interconnected supply chains, quality is no longer a differentiator, it is a necessity. At Genel Transport, we have always believed that verified processes, transparency, and accountability are essential for sustainable logistics. QCargo’s qualification framework provides exactly the kind of independent and credible benchmark the industry needs, and we are proud to be among the first companies to meet this standard.”
Danny Arendse, QCargo CEO, commented: “QCargo Solutions does not create new rules or frameworks; we verify compliance with existing industry requirements and provide the independent validation the logistics sector has been missing, at the speed modern business requires.”
