WISETECH Global has added Air Canada Cargo to its network.

The Australian tech company said this connection would enable its customers to choose, book, confirm and change shipments in real-time from within the CargoWise platform.

Air Canada Cargo is the first North American air carrier to offer direct data integration with CargoWise.

Air Canada Cargo managing director, commercial Matthieu Casey said the integration would deliver an efficient and simplified booking experience for his company’s customers.

“We are continually seeking ways to enhance the services we offer to the freight forwarding community and are happy to integrate CargoWise into our network,” he said.

WiseTech Global vice-president – logistics data and connectivity Jorre Cobelens said the easy access to timely information to make informed decisions with transparency at every stage of the process improves efficiency and flexibility for the airline and its customers.

“CargoWise now enables direct data exchange with most API connectable airlines, including Air Canada Cargo,” Mr Cobelens said.

“Our vision is for CargoWise to be the operating system for global logistics, increasing productivity, visability and data security across the end-to-end ecosystem,” Mr Cobelens said.
