Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, one of the world’s largest international logistics providers, and cargo.one, the world’s leading digital air freight platform, today unveiled a new strategic technology partnership. Hellmann will integrate a raft of cargo.one technology, including its Advanced Rate Management, Quotes API, Live Estimates data, and cargo.one pro, for the procurement and sales of its air capacity. The collaboration supports Hellmann to drive efficiency and automation, raise team productivity and win rates, and enhance customer experiences.
The quoting landscape for air freight has increased in complexity in recent years – driven by volatile market conditions, capacity constraints, and rising customer expectations for speed. By adopting a quoting and rate management set-up powered by cargo.one, Hellmann can rely upon boosted productivity, market agility and profitability.
Hellmann’s upgraded infrastructure includes complete rate and charge management for its buy and sell rates, local charges and trucking costs, using cargo.one’s Advanced Rate Management, customised to its exact needs. cargo.one delivers enhanced rate visibility and global and local rate management with surgical precision. By building cargo.one’s Quotes API into its proprietary ‘HITS’ quotation system, fully integrated with its CargoWise One TMS, Hellmann can generate quotes at record speeds.
Replacing multiple legacy solutions with cargo.one‘s integrated solution landscape, Hellmann teams will use a single sophisticated system and the strongest rate and cost data in every quotation process. Teams are better equipped to handle pricing and route complexities and offer customers highly accurate and compelling rates. The roll-out also supports Hellmann to benefit from structured data-driven analyses of its procurement performance.
Martin Habisreitinger, COO Airfreight at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, commented, “Our co-built solution with cargo.one is a further step in advancing our air freight digitalisation. The new technology significantly enhances the digital customer experience and marks a key milestone in realising our strategic ambition, which places customer experience at the core of everything we do. cargo.one’s technology equips Hellmann to gain full oversight over and a competitive advantage from our air procurement function – allowing us to capitalise upon our strong carrier relationships, optimise our rate setting, and drive competitive advantage.”
“We are thrilled to enable Hellmann to drive a full spectrum of gains from digital air freight procurement and sales. The latest infrastructure and tooling from cargo.one now elevates Hellmann’s teams with the optimal rate transparency, consistency and management they require to craft winning, value-added solutions”, added Moritz Claussen, Founder & Co-CEO of cargo.one.
Oliver Marschall, Vice President Global Airfreight Operations & Procurement at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, expanded, “Hellmann is capitalising upon a transformative shift in modern logistics technology. With our modernised digital set-up, we ensure consistent access to the most accurate and competitive end-to-end pricing, boost our market responsiveness, and apply insights to continually improve our operational performance.”
Highly scalable digital infrastructure enables a large-scale forwarder to consistently define and optimise its ideal sell rates. By applying cargo.one to its air cargo pricing and procurement workflows, Hellmann can guarantee the highest industry standards for reliability, data quality and availability, and quoting and booking performance.
