cargo.one has announced that DB Schenker is to use its services to connect with dozens more airlines from across the globe.

According to cargo.one, the collaboration enhances DB Schenker’s portfolio of live capacity access from nine originally to over 50 airlines in total.

Commenting on the announcement, Thorsten Meincke, Global Board Member for Air & Ocean Freight, DB Schenker, said:

“We continue to digitise 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 Digitalization (CIO/CDO), DB Schenker, added:

“Every day we strive to lead the digitalization 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. Efficiency gains accomplished through IT help to make the entire logistics industry more resource efficient. The more carriers DB Schenker connects to digitally, and thus automates and optimises processes, the better the final choice for our customers will be. The concept is comparable with automated last-minute deals from airlines or travel agents.”
