“The automation that CargoBooking brings to the sales process will lead to tangible benefits such as cost saving and operational efficiencies, as well as providing an additional sales distribution channel. The efficiency and responsiveness of the air cargo industry is dependent on quick and accurate communication between stakeholders in the supply chain, something that can only be achieved by the global uptake of air cargo digitalisation.”
