Freightos has joined the IATA Digitalization Leadership Charter to support broader adoption of interoperable digital connectivity standards across the global air cargo ecosystem.
The vendor-neutral global freight pricing, booking and procurement platform said the Charter focuses on five core industry priorities.
These include driving industry-wide interoperability and global data standards; strengthening digital resilience and cybersecurity readiness; accelerating sustainable and paperless cargo operations; advancing digital excellence through innovation and automation; and promoting ethical and responsible adoption of emerging technologies, including AI.
“Real-time digital connectivity and interoperable data exchange are becoming increasingly important across global freight workflows,” said Pablo Pinillos, chief executive and interim chief financial officer.
“As the leading vendor-neutral digital freight network, we believe industry collaboration and common standards are important to reducing integration friction and enabling more efficient connectivity across carriers, forwarders, shippers and technology providers.
“Over time, we believe this kind of connectivity will help shape a more agile, intelligent and resilient global freight ecosystem, and we look forward to working alongside other participants in the Charter to support that progress.”
“We are pleased to welcome Freightos to the IATA Cargo Digital Leadership Charter,” said Jonathan Parkinson, head of cargo digitalization at IATA.
“Digital transformation requires collaboration across the entire air cargo ecosystem, and the participation of leading digital platforms helps strengthen our collective efforts to advance data sharing, interoperability, and the adoption of industry standards such as ONE Record.”
