Aerios launches first product Carrier App

Air cargo charter software company Aerios, a member of CargoTech, has released its first product.

"The Carrier App is positioned as the charter management system for cargo charter carriers, helping them increase team efficiency and maximise revenue opportunities whilst surfacing actionable data and insights," says an official release.

The Carrier App has been developed specifically for carriers operating within the cargo charter market, which, because of its highly complex and ad-hoc nature, has been left unsupported by commonly used sales tools, the release added. "This leaves carriers faced with the decision to choose between accepting a largely manual process or a costly investment to customise their existing CRM tool or develop their own digital solution which lacks wider market integration."

Simon Watson, Founder, Aerios says: “Our mission, at Aerios, is to enable brokers, charter professionals and carriers to work more efficiently, surface real time-data and maximise revenue opportunities in the air cargo charter market. We do that by designing software that enables your team to spend less time on traditional manual processes and more time on relationships and growth. I am proud to launch the first version of our Carrier App, which has been built in conjunction with a number of cargo charter carriers, following extensive trials and a large number of research workshops.”

The Carrier App offers three key benefits: increased efficiency, maximised revenues and an informed team, the release added. "The increase in efficiency comes from automating manual, repetitive tasks in a single tool to create one consistent process across the entire team. The Carrier App does away with the cumbersome and error-prone use of spreadsheets combined with group email inboxes where requests, quotes and key CRM data has to be manually entered and maintained. Nor does it require expensive or lengthy IT integrations or adaptations."

Watson adds: “The Carrier App is already live with a group of carriers and we will be announcing our airline partnerships in the coming months. Carriers interested in seeing a demo can book on our website by visiting aerios.app."

The Carrier App is the first of a series of Aerios products for the wider charter market helping carriers distribute their capacity to the market, the release added.
