On Air with Air Cargo Next On Logistics: Digitization streamlines cargo charter market
Digitalization has come slowly to the airfreight market as stakeholders in recent years have taken steps to digitalize booking and move to paperless environments.
In this episode of “On Air with Air Cargo World,” Simon Watson, co-founder of booking platform CharterSync, speaks with Air Cargo World columnist Cathy Morrow Roberson, president of Logistics Trends & Insights about the digitalization of the cargo charter sector.
When it first launched in July 2019, the platform’s founders did not foresee they would be navigating global challenges like Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, the London-based charter broker offers cargo charter services to freight forwarders in an effort to provide rate transparency and a faster way to book charters.
Listen as Watson discusses the origins of CharterSync, global challenges and digitalization in the charter market.
