New partnership streamlines air cargo booking and payment for Indian freight forwarders
WebCargo by Freightos, the leading air cargo booking and payment platform, has introduced WebCargo Pay in India in collaboration with Qatar Airways Cargo. This marks a significant milestone, simplifying the way forwarders book and pay for air cargo shipments. With WebCargo Pay, traditional obstacles like bank guarantees are removed, enabling a seamless process for pricing, booking, and payment in one platform, reported payloadasia.com.
As the world’s largest air cargo booking platform, WebCargo is already used by over 10,000 global forwarding offices, offering instant pricing and booking across more than 55 carriers. The new WebCargo Pay functionality allows India-based forwarders to enjoy key benefits including simplified payments, real-time booking, and the removal of bank guarantees. Users can top up their WebCargo Wallet in local currency via a partnership with Juspay Technologies Pvt Limited, while eliminating the need for traditional financial collateral.
Real-time payment integration reduces delays, speeding up rate confirmation and bookings. This gives small and mid-sized forwarders access to Qatar Airways Cargo’s competitive rates and capacity, allowing them to stay competitive during peak shipping periods.
