Lufthansa digitizing spot cargo services

Cargo.one will provide a digital sales channel for air freight forwarders seeking to confirm spot market rates and bookings.

   Lufthansa Cargo will use solutions provider cargo.one to offer a digital sales channel to air freight forwarders seeking to confirm spot market rates and bookings with the carrier anywhere in the world.
   Specifically, the platform will be offered for shipments moving via Lufthansa’s td.Flash and td.Pro services.
   “All important information about the connections, as well as the real capacity-dependent and dynamic live spot rates, are clearly displayed,” the companies said.
   “Booking platforms such as cargo.one will in [the] future support forwarders in meeting their customers’ needs even better. This is the next logical step in the digitization of our industry,” said Peter Gerber, Lufthansa Cargo’s chairman, in a statement.
