HOME appliance giant electrolux has signed up to use Freightos' Enterprise Solution which will allow it to make air freight bookings on a booking portal through its freight forwarder partners.
The Enterprise Solution allows beneficial cargo owners (BCOs) to view the various flights and prices being offered by airlines that have partnered with their selected logistics providers and Freightos and its portal WebCargo.
Electrolux said before signing up for the solution it had conducted a trial that had demonstrated efficiencies in 'cost estimation, booking, and end-to-end tracking and air freight visibility'.
Freightos claimed that the enterprise platform could reduce freight spend by up to 10 per cent and slash booking time by 80 per cent, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Electrolux said that removing back-and-forth emails with their logistics provider over each booking was a time saver.
Electrolux Group logistics purchasing director said: 'Freightos empowers our planners to book the freight that they need at the cost and delivery time which is aligned with their budget and requirements.
'This removes unnecessary back and forth between planners and buyers, all while giving us in purchasing the consolidated data to influence future supplier decisions.'
Said Freightos CEO Zvi Schreiber: 'For 25 years enterprises have utilised electronic booking for their business travel, saving time and money. Finally, today they can do the same for their air cargo, in cooperation with their chosen freight forwarders.'
