A new industry alliance is hoping to transform global air freight operations with advanced digital tools to enhance efficiency and operational transparency. 

Singapore-based IT provider Cargo Community Network (CCN) and cargo booking platform CargoAi have successfully integrated the latter’s cutting-edge CargoMART platform into the former’s data collaboration platform, CUBEforall. 

CCN said the integration of CargoMART into CUBEforall signifies a proactive approach to dismantling long-standing data silos that have impeded collaboration and productivity in the industry. The partnership also marks a significant stride in demonstrating the potential of digital integration and collaboration in driving innovation for the air freight industry. 

CUBEforall was launched in November 2022 with the aim to streamline the global freight forwarding process through efficient data sharing and seamless shipment processes. 

CargoAi’s CargoMART platform, meanwhile, offers a suite of services powered by an AI-driven search engine that optimizes results based on specific cargo information. Its functionalities include air freight rates, flight schedules, quotation and bookings, real-time tracking, and emissions calculations. 

Matt Petot, CEO of CargoAi, said the vision is ‘to simplify global air freight forwarding processes while delivering an unparalleled user experience.’
