Cargo Breaking News
Softlink Global today announced a strategic partnership of its state-of-the-art Transportation Management System (TMS) Logi-Sys with CargoAi, a leading provider of air cargo booking and data solutions. This powerful integration will empower logistics businesses with enhanced visibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness across their supply chains.
Seamless Integration for Streamlined Operations
Logi-Sys and CargoAi will connect through a secure Application Programming Interface (API), facilitating the seamless exchange of data and real-time updates between the two platforms.
Key functionalities of the integration include:
●Real-time Quote & Booking with Advanced Options: Leveraging CargoAi’s extensive network of 100+ carriers, Logi-Sys users can generate quotes and book shipments instantly within the existing ecosystem. Options for pre-booking and rate comparison from suitable options of Fastest (speed), Cost-Efficient (cost), or Greenest (environmental impact) are provided
●Carbon Emission Calculation and Offsetting: With the European Union’s strict stance on carbon offsets, among other regulatory bodies, the need for carbon emission calculation and subsequent offsetting is at an all-time high. CargoAi’s integration capabilities means Logi-Sys users can now calculate carbon emissions based on the IATA Carbon Emission algorithm and explore carbon offset options, meeting sustainability goals
●Real-time Rates and Contract Management: The access to real-time rates and contract rates from some 165+ carriers (and growing) directly within Logi-Sys is another powerful capability. Forwarders can upload and compare bespoke contract rates with ease, even for non-live integrated carriers
●Live Schedules and Tracking: Businesses gain real-time access to live flight schedules from 700+ carriers and shipment tracking updates from 200+ airlines (and growing)
●Simplified eAWB Submission: The integration ensures adherence to compliances and avoidance of carrier surcharges via eAWBs submission for both Freighter Waybills (FWBs) and House Air Waybills (FHLs) to 120+ carriers
●Instant & Secure Payments: The partnership will enable users to simplify, manage and track invoice payment with CargoWALLET, a modern payment solution, in more than 45 currencies.
