WEBCARG0 has seen the industry embrace Digital Air Cargo (DAC), with air cargo ebookings on its platform increasing 570 per cent in the last year alone, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
In fact, the available freight-tonne-kilometers represented by carriers on WebCargo increased 188 per cent since the start of 2020, the company claims.
Now, forwarders won't need more than their cellphones to search, compare, and book air cargo capacity for their customers, said the WebCargo statement.
'Until very recently, freight forwarders would call and email back and forth with carriers to secure air cargo capacity for their customers,' said Freightos Group CEO Zvi Schreiber.
'In the last two years WebCargo and its airline and forwarder partners have grown Digital Air Cargo (DAC) by thousands of per cent.
'This has given the industry new real-time agility which has been crucial during a rapidly evolving pandemic as well as a supply chain crisis,' said Mr Schreiber. 'And today the air cargo industry takes another step forward in the Digital Air Cargo journey with instant digital booking of air cargo becoming available on every mobile phone.'
The WebCargo app is available for free for existing WebCargo users on both the Apple app store and the Android Play store. IATA-accredited freight forwarders can register for free WebCargo accounts, unlocking direct bookings across over thirty airlines, including Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Air France KLM, Air Bridge Cargo, and IAG at webcargo.co.
