CargoAi has announced the launch of its latest innovative feature, Allotment. This feature simplifies and automates batch pre-booking and allotment for regular air cargo on over 40 airlines in more than 130 countries.
The new addition to CargoAi's comprehensive digital ecosystem further streamlines the operational booking process for freight forwarders and aims to remove manual, repetitive tasks and improve operators' experience.
Revolutionizing air cargo space booking
In an industry where efficiency and precision are paramount, CargoAi's allotment feature stands out by simplifying and automating the regular booking of cargo space. Thus, it eliminates the repetitive manual shipment-by-shipment process and reduces the potential for errors.
CargoAi noted that this feature allows freight forwarders to secure space in batches on flights seamlessly, ensuring timely and consistent shipment deliveries and the batch allotment upload solution and instant confirmation feature reduces from days of waiting for confirmations from multiple airlines to a few seconds.
The solution — already adopted by multiple small and large forwarders — offers a plug-and-play solution that integrates into existing processes and helps reduce the operational workload by up to 99% for allotment bookings.
"We have been using the CargoAi Pre-Booking and Allotment feature since March 2024. This has simplified our pre-booking process, and we get automatic acceptance confirmation on our bookings, ultimately saving time for our operations. We also no longer have to remember to chase confirmation on pre-bookings," said Maxime Boucher, manager of Chicago Export Gateway at Flexport.
CargoAi noted the speed, autonomy, flexibility, and traceability offered in the new solution.
"Our new Allotment feature represents a significant leap forward in our mission to digitize and simplify the air cargo booking process," said Matt Petot, CEO of CargoAi.
"By automating space bookings, we are not only saving time for our users but also increasing their operational efficiency. This is a game-changer for large and medium-size freight forwarders who heavily rely on regular and reliable cargo space."
CargoAi said the introduction of Allotment not only aligns with this mission but also sets a new standard for digital booking solutions in the market.
