Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has entered into a strategic global technology partnership with cargo.one, marking a significant step in the freight forwarder’s digital transformation and its long-term strategy to enhance air cargo procurement, pricing accuracy, and customer experience.
Under the partnership, Hellmann will integrate a comprehensive suite of cargo.one technologies into its global operations, including Advanced Rate Management, Quotes API, Live Estimates, and cargo.one pro.
