CargoAi Launches CargoWALLET Payment Solution for Freight Forwarders
CargoAi has announced the launch of CargoWALLET, a modern payment solution for air cargo with supply chain financing capabilities, allowing freight forwarders to make payments for their air cargo shipments directly within the CargoMART booking flow.
CargoWALLET’s key USPs for freight forwarders are summed up as follows:
Streamlined Booking & Payment: Search and book shipments instantly - no IATA Cass Number, AWB stock, or bank guarantees required.
Flexible Finance: Manage cash flow effectively with extended payment terms (PayLater).
Global Reach: Book air cargo from anywhere in the world, with local payment in more than 30+ currencies.
Started as a project 2 years ago and accelerated with the CargoTech partnership, this groundbreaking payment solution is revolutionizing the way the air cargo is booked and is now finally released to all freight forwarders, following months of successful testing.
Global Container Shipping: Contract Rates Inch Closer to Spot Rates
CargoWALLET enables shipments to be booked and paid for without an IATA Cass Number, without an AWB stock, AND without any bank guarantee, specifically tailored to empower small to medium-sized freight forwarders.
CargoWALLET also addresses the needs of medium to large freight forwarders who have an IATA Cass number, but may not have AWB stock with all the carriers due to expensive bank guarantees, or certain airlines still requiring such forwarders to produce bank guarantees.
All of these scenarios require additional steps for freight forwarders to fulfil their daily business demands, adding up to more costs and time required.
CargoWALLET has the additional benefit of allowing freight forwarders to place booking from any origin as well as long payment terms, (PayLater).
Magali Beauregard, CCO of CargoAI, said: “We are excited about the exponential capabilities CargoWALLET brings to the industry.
"Not only does air cargo booking become more seamless, but the entire procurement from search, quote, booking, and now payment can be done within minutes on just one interface – CargoMART.
"Similar to our other products (such as Cargo2ZERO) we are helping not just the large industry players connect with each other in the digital air freight ecosystem, but ensuring stakeholders of all sizes get to stay ahead in the digital adoption as well.”
