Yusen Logistics has partnered with cargo.one to deploy an AI-powered operating system across its global air freight sales and procurement operations, marking a significant step in the company’s ongoing digital transformation strategy.
Under the partnership, Yusen Logistics will implement cargo.one’s AI-native platform across its global pricing, procurement, quoting, and booking processes, including inter-branch transactions. The system is designed to centralize air freight capacity management and provide access to live, static, contract, and consolidation rates alongside local and trucking charges within a single standardized platform.
According to the companies, the new infrastructure will support faster quotation processes, more competitive pricing, and improved data-driven decision-making across Yusen Logistics’ international operations. Integration with the company’s Transport Management System (TMS) is also planned to further streamline workflows and operational efficiency.
As part of the collaboration, more than 100 Yusen Logistics branches worldwide will be connected through a managed network powered by cargo.one, enabling real-time access to rates and service options across the company’s global network. The companies said the system has been designed to improve visibility, consistency, and connectivity between regions while enhancing the customer quoting experience.
“Implementing cargo.one’s AI-powered operating system represents an important step in Yusen Logistics’ journey towards pricing digitalization and broader procurement modernization,” said Eisuke Fukagawa, Head of Air Freight Forwarding Unit at Yusen Logistics Global Management Co. Ltd.
Moritz Claussen, Founder and Co-CEO of cargo.one, said the partnership would help Yusen Logistics strengthen its global procurement and sales infrastructure through AI-driven technology and market intelligence. By adopting cargo.one’s platform, Yusen Logistics also aims to establish a centralized and reliable data foundation to support future AI-enabled processes such as automated quoting, booking, sales, and customer support as digitalization initiatives continue to expand across the organization.
