- cargo.one’s Advanced Rate Management, Live Rates, Quotes API and cargo.one pro integrated into Hellmann Worldwide Logistics’ in-house systems worldwide
- Hellmann teams will capitalise upon a robust data foundation, standardised procurement tools, and workflows attuned to rate precision and booking optimisation
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. These solutions will be embedded into Hellmann’s proprietary systems, including its ‘HITS’ quotation platform, fully integrated with the CargoWise One TMS.
The collaboration aims to streamline procurement workflows, strengthen data foundations, and improve rate visibility—key elements in an air freight market that has become increasingly complex due to volatile capacity, fluctuating rates, and rising customer demands for speed and transparency.
With cargo.one’s Advanced Rate Management, Hellmann now gains end-to-end oversight of buy and sell rates, local charges, and trucking costs, enabling precision-driven pricing decisions. The unified digital infrastructure replaces multiple legacy tools, granting teams a single source of truth for rate and cost data. This empowers staff to handle intricate pricing and routing scenarios more efficiently while offering customers highly accurate, competitive pricing.
The partnership also enables Hellmann to conduct structured, data-driven evaluations of its global procurement performance—strengthening its responsiveness and enhancing win rates in competitive markets.
Martin Habisreitinger, COO Airfreight at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, highlighted the impact of the joint development:
“Our co-built solution with cargo.one is a further step in advancing our air freight digitalisation. The new technology significantly enhances the digital customer experience and marks a key milestone in realising our strategic ambition, which places customer experience at the core of everything we do. cargo.one’s technology equips Hellmann to gain full oversight over and competitive advantage from our air procurement function—allowing us to capitalise upon our strong carrier relationships, optimise our rate setting, and drive competitive advantage.”
Moritz Claussen, Founder & Co-CEO of cargo.one, added:
“We are thrilled to enable Hellmann to drive a full spectrum of gains from digital air freight procurement and sales. The latest infrastructure and tooling from cargo.one now elevates Hellmann’s teams with the optimal rate transparency, consistency and management they require to craft winning, value-added solutions.”
Oliver Marschall, Vice President Global Airfreight Operations & Procurement at Hellmann, emphasised the transformational impact:
“Hellmann is capitalising upon a transformative shift in modern logistics technology. With our modernised digital set-up, we ensure consistent access to the most accurate and competitive end-to-end pricing, boost our market responsiveness, and apply insights to continually improve our operational performance.”
By adopting cargo.one’s scalable digital ecosystem, Hellmann strengthens its ability to define and optimise sell rates with industry-leading reliability, data quality, and operational visibility. The enhanced set-up positions the global forwarder to meet evolving customer expectations and maintain a competitive edge in the rapidly modernising air cargo landscape.
