Carrier and forwarder integrate e-bookings
As an industry first, Kuehne + Nagel and Air France KLM Martinair Cargo have joined forces to improve the integration of their electronic booking processes. In a proof of concept that was brought to conclusion in July, the two companies enabled total host-to-host connection through application programming interface (API) allowing for a system-based, integrated and interactive match between available capacity and demand.
Customers will benefit from a seamless experience with the airline’s full digital offering, including ad-hoc quotations, capacity availability inquiries, dynamic pricing and real-time e-booking functionalities. Following the successful proof of concept, a further developed solution will be launched in Europe and the South Asia Pacific region. (ah)
