Turkish Cargo has started offering its capacity at CargoWise's online booking platform as part of its digital transformation.

Through a direct data connection with CargoWise, Turkish Cargo —  with the world's widest international flight network — said it offers shippers on the platform real-time rates, capacity availability, and e-Reservation services within the leading logistics operating system used by the world’s largest freight forwarders and 3PLs.

The eReservation integration between CargoWise and Turkish Cargo's management system, COMIS, enables real-time access to air cargo rates, flight availability, and booking confirmations.

Shippers can also easily choose suitable flights and make bookings with Turkish Cargo, all without leaving the CargoWise platform.

The API connection enhances operational efficiency by eliminating errors due to manual data entry. This approach makes processes more transparent and helps reduce costs.

"As Turkish Cargo, we transport approximately 2 million tons of cargo to over 360 destinations within our flight network every year. Our wide flight network and high capacity allow us to be globally accessible while offering competitively cost-effective, innovative solutions," said Selçuk Gençaslan, senior vice president of cargo marketing at Turkish Airlines.

"Consequently, we focus on offering digital solutions to our customers by swiftly adapting to the evolving dynamics of the industry and thus, we are pleased to advance our mission of delivering the best service to our customers through this collaboration with Cargo Wise," he added.

WiseTech's customers include over 17,000 of the world’s logistics companies across 181 countries, including 45 of the top 50 global third-party logistics providers and 25 of the 25 largest global freight forwarders worldwide.

Jorre Cobelens, vice president of Logistics Data and Connectivity at WiseTech Global, said by establishing direct data connectivity with Turkish Cargo, CargoWise enables its customers to process tens of thousands of unique shipments on the world’s largest air cargo network from within CargoWise.

"This increases productivity for the entire industry during and after the eBooking process, avoids double data entry, reduces human errors, and eliminates unnecessary emails," he said.

"The API integration provides Turkish Cargo’s customers with real-time communication directly within CargoWise, which also includes the ability to modify a booking until the final execution of the Master Air Waybill. With this partnership, the transparent data sharing enables Turkish Cargo to optimize their planning and capacity management," Cobelens added.

Operating with the fleet of Turkish Airlines, including 477 aircraft (passenger aircraft and 24 freighters), Turkish Cargo provides air cargo service to more than 360 destinations, 108 of which are cargo destinations in 134 countries around the world.
