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, customized 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.
