Crane Worldwide Logistics has officially integrated the cargo.one portal into its transport management systems (TMS), marking a significant step in the company’s digital transformation strategy. The integration spans Crane’s operations across 33 countries, aiming to enhance efficiency, reduce operational complexity, and provide faster, more accurate quoting for shippers worldwide.
The partnership leverages cargo.one’s comprehensive suite of solutions, including live rates, static rates, live estimates, a rate engine, Quotes API, AI-powered quoting, and tender feeder tools. By centralizing the management of buy rates, internal product rates, and sell rates on a single platform, Crane is able to unify previously fragmented data sources and deliver consistent, data-driven pricing across its global network.
“With cargo.one’s Quotes API, Crane can provide shippers with rapid, accurate quotes and RFIs, ensuring a seamless quoting experience,” the company said in a press release. “The integration allows our teams to focus on tangible innovation for clients rather than managing fragmented data systems.”
