Aerios, a developer of software solutions for the air cargo charter industry and a member of CargoTech, has launched a new Commercial Pricing Insights module which incorporates CargoAi’s live aggregated rate and capacity data to give charter carriers greater visibility into market conditions while quoting.
The new Integration with CargoAi surfaces wider commercial market data directly into the charter quoting workflow, helping carriers improve pricing accuracy and optimise revenue.
Charter carriers typically have limited access to live commercial data during the quotation phase and instead rely on data sources that are often static, outdated or informal market knowledge.
Within larger carriers, charter sales teams often operate separately from the general airfreight sales team.
As a result, the charter team doesn’t typically have access to live airfreight rates or up to date knowledge of which lanes are currently served by airfreight, or at which frequency.
All of which means quotes are often generated “in the blind,” and can result in inaccurate pricing, lost business opportunities, and missed revenue.
To address this, the Commercial Pricing Insights module helps surface real-time air freight market rate insights at the point of quotation.
The new module sits inside the Carrier App quote builder and provides commercial context while a price is being created.
Once a route is constructed, users can view how their quote compares to broader market trends without switching tools.
It can display aggregated current market rate insights together with both the historic and forecasted trends, helping highlight whether a route is actively served by air freight together with its frequency.
Through this integration with CargoAi, the module delivers live, aggregated market rate data. Users can access anonymised current and forecasted air freight rates, which lets them gain market insight without exposing individual airlines or competitors’ pricing strategies.
Matt Petot, Founder & CEO at CargoAi said: “We welcome this partnership with Aerios who joins a number of other players of the industry who are using our live aggregated data in their process.
“Getting real time visibility on the next few weeks in terms of rate trends and capacity change is a game changer for the industry who has been relying for a very long time only on past data with a significant delay.“
