Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has signed a deal with Cargo.one to integrate a range of the airfreight platform’s technology including its Advanced Rate Management, Quotes API, Live Estimates data, and Cargo.one pro for procurement and sales of its air capacity.

Cargo.one’s technology equips Hellmann to gain full oversight over and competitive advantage from our air procurement function – allowing us to maximize upon our strong carrier relationships, optimize our rate setting, and drive competitive advantage.”
