WiseTech brings ATC Aviation onto CargoWise AirlineConnect

WiseTech Global says ATC Aviation Services, part of World Freight Company, is the first GSSA network to connect airline services directly to CargoWise AirlineConnect. The link gives freight forwarders digital access to capacity, pricing and booking tools across ATC’s airline portfolio, starting in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Why it matters: - The integration gives freight forwarders a wider pool of airline capacity and services inside a single booking workflow. - The connection can cut manual rate requests, email exchanges and repetitive data entry. - Faster digital bookings may help shippers respond to capacity shifts, market changes and time-sensitive cargo requests.

What happened: - WiseTech Global announced that ATC Aviation Services, part of the World Freight Company portfolio, is now the first General Sales and Service Agent network to make airline freight services available on CargoWise AirlineConnect. - The launch covers airlines represented by ATC in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. - WiseTech said more airlines are expected to be added across World Freight Company’s international network.

The details: - CargoWise customers can search, compare, plan and book ATC services inside CargoWise. - The platform gives access to available capacity, schedules, services and dynamic pricing. - Users can complete digital bookings 24/7 within their existing workflow. - The integration also supports booking confirmations, amendments, cancellations and status updates. - World Freight Company’s portfolio markets and manages cargo capacity for more than 300 airlines across more than 3,500 trade lanes worldwide. - The group’s network includes more than 300 entities across 80 countries. - World Freight Company manages more than three million tonnes of capacity each year for airline partners.

Between the lines: - World Freight Company framed the link as part of its digital transformation, with an emphasis on better data accuracy, consistency and process traceability. - WiseTech is using GSSA networks to expand the bookable airline inventory available to CargoWise users. - The move also creates another digital distribution channel for airlines represented by ATC, which could improve access to freight-forwarding customers already working in CargoWise.

What's next: - World Freight Company plans to expand the capability beyond Germany, Switzerland and Austria across its network. - WiseTech said additional GSSA integrations fit into a broader strategy to grow the airline bookable network inside CargoWise. - More airlines are expected to come online through the ATC connection over time.

The bottom line: - WiseTech is turning CargoWise AirlineConnect into a broader digital marketplace for airline cargo capacity, starting with ATC Aviation and World Freight Company.
