SriLankan Cargo partners with CargoAi for bookings, payments

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.”

For freight forwarders, the integration also means that they no longer need to provide a bank guarantee or pay yearly subscriptions. “Everything is seamlessly integrated with CargoMART, simplifying operations and reducing overhead costs, allowing forwarders to focus on core business operations without the burden of administrative complexities.”

Chaminda Perera, Head of Cargo, SriLankan Airlines says: “Our partnership with CargoAi marks another significant stride in our digitalisation journey, aimed at expanding our horizons. We will be able to enhance the visibility of our inventory and offer customers a convenient airfreight booking experience. We are looking forward to extending our market reach and engaging with businesses of all scales with CargoAi.”

Matt Petot, CEO, CargoAi adds: “Our collaboration with SriLankan Cargo marks a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionise the air cargo industry. By leveraging technology to streamline processes and enhance user experience, we are paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable future in airfreight logistics.”

Together with its airline and logistics partners, SriLankan Cargo serves over 200 destinations, the release added.
