WiseTech Global have announced that ATC Aviation Services is the first General Sales and Service Agent to make air freight services for the airlines they represent available to freight forwarders on CargoWise AirlineConnect.
The direct data connection enables freight forwarders to search, compare, plan and book ATC’s services within CargoWise, the industry’s leading logistics execution platform, accessing available capacity, schedules, services and dynamic pricing and completing digital bookings 24/7 within their existing workflow. As the integration supports booking confirmations, amendments, cancellations and status updates it helps freight forwarders respond more quickly to changing capacity requirements, market conditions and time-critical shipment requests.
Titus Hientzsch, Group CTO of World Freight Company, said:
“The direct API connection to CargoWise is an important step in the WFC’s digital transformation. It reduces manual rate requests, email exchanges and repetitive data entry, supporting greater data accuracy, consistency and process traceability while reducing the risk of manual errors. Beginning in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, we intend to progressively expand this capability across WFC’s network, increasing the digital reach of our airline partners and providing customers with a faster and more accessible booking experience.”
Jorre Cobelens, Vice President – Logistics Data, AI and Connectivity at WiseTech Global, said:
“As the first GSSA network to connect directly with CargoWise through AirlineConnect, ATC’s integration broadens the range of airline services available to freight forwarders through a single digital booking environment. It also creates an additional digital distribution channel for the airlines represented by ATC, making their capacity and services more accessible to the global freight-forwarding community using CargoWise. GSSA networks represent the next phase of our strategy, expanding the bookable network available to CargoWise customers.”
