For freight forwarders, integration means they no longer need to provide bank guarantee or pay yearly subscriptions
SriLankan Cargo, the cargo arm of SriLankan Airlines, has partnered with CargoAi to simplify and enhance its airfreight booking and payment processes, and bring more transparency and velocity for users.
"The integration of SriLankan Cargo’s air freight services into CargoAi’s ecosystem gives users access to online booking and instant cross-border payment capabilities, while allowing SriLankan Cargo to increase its reach and support forwarders that were previously untapped," says a release from CargoAi.
CargoAi’s integration with SriLankan Cargo also streamlines payment processes by offering multiple payment methods, ranging from local transfers to credit card payments, removing the reliance on cash payments and enhancing security and efficiency in financial transactions, the release added. "Additionally, CargoAi’s CargoWALLET platform facilitates the reconciliation process, automating tasks that were previously manual and time-consuming."
