This cutting-edge feature allows freight forwarders to secure space in batches on flights seamlessly, ensuring timely and consistent shipment deliveries. Thanks to their batch allotment upload solution and instant confirmation feature, the overall process is reduced from days of waiting for confirmations from multiple airlines to a few seconds.

The solution—already adopted by multiple small and large forwarders—offers a plug-and-play solution that integrates into existing processes and helps reduce the operational workload by up to 99% for allotment bookings.

“We have been using the CargoAi Pre-Booking and Allotment feature since March 2024.

This has simplified our pre booking  process and we get automatic acceptance confirmation on our bookings ultimately saving time for our operations. We also no longer have to remember to chase confirmation on pre-bookings”, said Maxime Boucher, Chicago Export Gateway Manager at Flexport.

Forwarders, like Flexport, have been praising the new solution around 4 main benefits:

• Speed – Forwarders can pre-book their allotment space in batches instead of asking & chasing confirmation shipment per shipment, reducing the overall operational process.
• Autonomy – Forwarders gain control over the allotment booking flow, including frequency, in accordance with airlines’ booking windows. This feature empowers users to manage their bookings autonomously, without reliance on intermediaries nor the need to endlessly chase confirmation.
• Flexibility – Forwarders generate bookings directly from their CargoMART account with the ability to modify or cancel as needed. Modifications and cancellations are subject to conditions defined and agreed upon providing users with the flexibility to adapt to changing needs.
• Traceability – Users can track and trace all allotment bookings directly in-app and via email, ensuring full transparency and real-time updates on shipment status.
