ANA enables real-time e-bookings via CargoWise integration

All Nippon Airways (ANA) has become the first Japanese air carrier to integrate directly with CargoWise, WiseTech Global’s logistics execution platform. This integration, announced in April 2025, enables freight forwarders to plan, book, confirm, and manage air cargo shipments with ANA in real time from within CargoWise. The initiative aims to streamline cargo operations for users globally, including all 25 of the largest freight forwarders. The integration is currently live and was first used by DHL Global Forwarding.

The new system-to-system connection between ANA and CargoWise is part of the platform's Carrier Connectivity Programme. It gives users direct access to ANA Cargo’s schedules, availability, pricing, and eBooking services, reducing manual processes and eliminating the need to re-enter data. ANA’s information is also now available on CargoWise’s AirlineConnect marketplace, allowing users to review and compare airline options from a single interface.

Kenichi Wakiya, Executive Vice President, Cargo Marketing & Services of ANA and President & CEO of ANA Cargo, said: “ANA serves the world with key routes, and we are focused on providing a cargo system that is easy and efficient for forwarders to conduct business on our network utilising the systems they already use. Our integration with CargoWise enables seamless data transmission, creating an efficient and simplified booking experience for our major customers.”

Max Sauberschwarz, Head of Global Air Freight at DHL Global Forwarding, added: “At DHL we are committed to delivering excellence in a digital world. The direct data exchange means we can plan, book and manage shipments directly with ANA Cargo from within CargoWise, making our services more convenient and efficient for our customers.”

Scott McCorquodale, Head of Airline Connectivity at WiseTech Global, commented: “Japan is the world’s fourth largest economy and is one of the world’s largest producers of high-technology manufactured goods and consumer products. These sectors create a high demand for inbound and outbound air cargo, and we’re delighted to partner with ANA to help facilitate this demand. ANA plays an important role in facilitating trade between Japan and the rest of the world, so the ability for our freight forwarders to access real-time flight availability and pricing information and complete their bookings on ANA, all without leaving CargoWise, will drive greater efficiency and accuracy across the supply chain.”

ANA operates a network of passenger and freight services across major cities in Asia, North America, and Europe, with its cargo arm now accessible to global forwarders through CargoWise.
