Crane Worldwide Logistics, a leader in supply chain solutions with operations in 33 countries, and cargo.one, the AI technology provider for logistics, have partnered to roll out cargo.one across the freight forwarder’s global footprint. The collaboration modernizes Crane’s procurement infrastructure around one central database, automates and streamlines its quoting and booking workflows, and lowers operational complexity and costs.
Amid increasingly complex supply chain conditions, Crane has further advanced its digital transformation by adopting a landscape of integrated solutions from cargo.one – including cargo.one pro, Live Rates, Static Rates, Live Estimates, Rate Engine, Quotes API, AI-powered Quoting, and Tender Feeder. cargo.one equips Crane’s teams with one unified source of content across the organization, and an innovative toolset with which to make stronger data-driven decisions.
cargo.one delivers Crane both a wider choice of market rates and better utilization of its own data, such as contract and consol rates, within quoting flows in all branches. Crane’s gateway teams can now instantly access every relevant rate with ease. This scalable digital infrastructure enables large scale forwarders like Crane to achieve accuracy and consistency in every sell rate, without the overhead and cost of hiring more quoting teams. cargo.one solutions are fully integrated with Crane’s WiseTech-powered TMS platform.
