Home appliance manufacturer Electrolux Group has partnered with Freightos to improve its freight booking process across forwarder partners and carriers.

Electrolux Group aims to optimize freight spending and improve decision-making to deliver supply chain agility and efficiency, resulting in cost and time savings.

Combining powerful analytics and workflows, Freightos has rolled out its Enterprise Solutions enabling the Electrolux Group procurement team to make real-time, door-to-door air cargo procurement decisions, including the ability to conduct instant bookings with airlines via their existing logistics providers like FedEx.

The partnership follows a successful proof of concept addressing efficiencies in cost estimation, booking, and end-to-end tracking and air-freight visibility.

“For 25 years, enterprises have utilized electronic booking for their business travel, saving time and money,” said Freightos CEO Zvi Schreiber. “Finally, they can do the same for their air cargo, in cooperation with their chosen freight forwarders. The ROI is phenomenal, electronic bookings save days of elapsed time, often tens of percent of cost, and provide much greater supply chain flexibility and visibility.”

Freightos’ platform also has the option to select and book freight routes based on estimated carbon emissions. Paolo Galli, VP of logistics operations at Electrolux, commented: “Freightos solution will be a key enabler for process transparency, visibility and control. Carbon emissions will be one of the relevant elements we will have the opportunity to govern, analyzing past performances but even more important making CO2 as part of our decision process. This puts Freightos at the core of our Sustainability strategy.”
