Digital Air Cargo Interview with Mar Tous, Director of Product Management at WebCargo
The interview below is an excerpt from WebCargo’s Digital Air Cargo Monthly report, delivering analyses of recent trends in air cargo penetration, market intelligence, in-depth interviews with industry leaders, and more.
How does WebCargo Rate & Quote Ocean integrate with our existing WebCargo Air solution, and how does this benefit WebCargo users?
WebCargo Ocean seamlessly integrates with our Air solution, giving users the ability to quote both air and ocean freight in a single platform. This eliminates the need to switch between multiple systems and allows for direct TMS connection when needed, enabling smooth communication between teams.
Users also benefit from a centralized dashboard that provides comprehensive visibility of all quotes and streamlined customer management.
What specific features set WebCargo Rate & Quote Ocean apart from competitors in the current market, and what gaps does it address?
We’ve developed intuitive quoting capabilities that adapt to specific customer needs, along with flexible role configuration options. Our solution provides valuable market information and uniquely offers air and ocean quoting within the same platform.
The TMS connection capability addresses a significant gap in the market, where most solutions force users to manage these modes separately or through cumbersome integrations.
Which features of WebCargo Rate & Quote Ocean are generating the most excitement among freight forwarders?
Freight forwarders are particularly enthusiastic about our current quoting capabilities and the rate comparison functionality, which gives them greater visibility and control over their shipping options.
What enhancements to WebCargo Rate & Quote Ocean can users expect in the next 12-18 months?
We’re working on several exciting enhancements, including comprehensive schedules information and enhanced market intelligence connected to Freightos Terminal – both for industry news and competitive market analysis.
Users can also look forward to a redesigned search and results experience, along with improved settings functionality to better customize their workflow.
