DB Schenker has chosen cargo.one to digitally connect with dozens more airlines from across the globe.
The collaboration enhances the global logistics service provider’s portfolio of live capacity access from nine originally to over 50 airlines in total.
From now on, DB Schenker believe they can better identify suitable capacities and fitting rates for ad-hoc shipments of its customers.
Thorsten Meincke, global board member for air & ocean freight, DB Schenker: “We continue to digitalise transportation by establishing solutions that are highly demanded on the market.
“By boosting our access to available airline capacities, we save time for our customers and make processes faster, smoother, and more efficient for them.
“cargo.one is the perfect fit for this endeavour as they bring profound expertise in managing the massive amount of real-time data to the game.”
Christa Koenen, global board member for information technology and digitalisation (CIO/CDO), DB Schenker: “Every day we strive to lead the digitalisation of the freight forwarding industry.
“With more than 150 years of business expertise, we aim to choose the ideal external providers to build up new options based on innovation and technology.
