Switzerland-based Panalpina has rolled out its new on-line quotation and booking platform for ad hoc cargo to a number of its airfreight customers.

The forwarder’s new centralised digital platform provides customers with a “fast, simple and reliable on-line interface” that gives access to "easy and instantaneous quotation and booking of ad hoc shipments globally" without any human intervention.

 

Other benefits include quoted rates covering door-to-door transactions including pre- and on-carriage, the ability for rates to be viewed and then the freight booked instantaneously 'with a few mouse-clicks' plus dynamic pricing, global coverage and on-line 24/7 accessibility.
