The collaboration will allow United Cargo customers in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom to book cargo online through WebCargo. The platform complements United Cargo’s existing website capabilities and provides customers with more flexibility in accessing and booking available capacity. United Cargo plans to extend availability to U.S. and Canadian customers later in May.
“Our customers are seeking new ways to communicate and book with us. The enhanced booking functionality on our website, along with our participation in the WebCargo marketplace, are two new booking options for our customers. It’s another step forward in delivering an even better customer experience,” said Jan Krems, United Cargo President.
“We are excited about these advancements and our collaboration with the WebCargo team spanning both our portal and the WebCargo platform,” Krems added.
WebCargo has secured an active role in United Cargo’s digital journey. As Manuel Galindo, Chief Revenue Officer at Freightos, explains, “We’re thrilled to have partnered with United Cargo in support of its mission to deliver a world-class customer digital experience. It’s no secret, there is a rapid adoption of eBookings, particularly across Europe and the Americas. By combining United Cargo’s booking portal with the thousands of forwarders on the WebCargo and 7LFreight booking platform, forwarders large and small can now access United Cargo services 24/7, wherever they choose.
The expanded collaboration between Freightos and United Cargo demonstrates the growing adoption of online booking in the international freight industry. It also highlights WebCargo’s role as a key player in the digital transformation of the industry.
