Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, one of the world’s largest international logistics providers, has announced a strategic technology partnership with digital air freight platform cargo.one to modernize and streamline its global air cargo procurement and sales operations.

Through the collaboration, Hellmann will integrate a suite of cargo.one solutions — including Advanced Rate Management, Live Rates, Quotes API, and cargo.one pro — directly into its in-house systems worldwide. The rollout will enable Hellmann teams to benefit from unified data management, standardized procurement tools, and enhanced workflows designed to improve rate accuracy, quoting speed, and booking efficiency.

The partnership comes as air freight quoting grows increasingly complex amid volatile market conditions, capacity fluctuations, and rising customer expectations for faster, more accurate pricing. By adopting cargo.one’s advanced rate management technology, Hellmann aims to enhance agility, productivity, and profitability across its air logistics operations.

Hellmann’s upgraded digital infrastructure now provides end-to-end rate and charge management — encompassing buy and sell rates, local charges, and trucking costs — customized to the company’s global requirements. Integrated with Hellmann’s proprietary HITS quotation system and CargoWise One transport management platform, the new setup allows teams to generate precise, real-time quotes at record speed.

Replacing multiple legacy tools with cargo.one’s integrated solution, Hellmann teams will now work from a single, sophisticated platform supported by accurate rate and cost data. This unified system will empower staff to manage complex pricing scenarios more effectively while delivering faster and more competitive offers to customers.

Martin Habisreitinger, COO Airfreight at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, commented, “Our co-built solution with cargo.one is a further step in advancing our air freight digitalization.

“We are thrilled to enable Hellmann to drive a full spectrum of gains from digital air freight procurement and sales.
