Introducing Pelicargo's Services for Freight Forwarders

Invalid date

What is Pelicargo and how are we any different?

We launched Pelicargo because we personally experienced the challenges of running an air freight forwarding operation. There is never an easy air freight shipment!

Our goal for the Pelicargo service is to genuinely make your day as a freight forwarder easier and to support your company in growing its air freight division faster and more profitably.

At a high level, Pelicargo’s platform supports IATA freight forwarders to:

Accurately quote any air freight shipment
Digital book any air freight shipment
Track and trace any air freight shipment

However, our approach at Pelicargo is absolutely unique. We offer a hybrid solution - modern digital tools combined with a concierge team of air freight experts - that allows us to cover the widest range of shipments.

Our distinct approach allows us to source:

Spot rates - specifically for your shipment
Contract rates - specifically for you
Large shipments - 10,000kg plus
Shipper-built units - flat-rate options
All cargo types - Dangerous goods, Perishables, Valuables
Plus so much more

Handling these high-profile shipments requires us to have an intimate knowledge of the market and provide you with concierge-level support. Our team of air freight experts offers proactive solutions and recommendations geared towards supporting you to win more business.

We want you to consider Pelicargo as your air freight partner. We operate as an extension of your team doing work for you.

We provide service, expertise, and experience you can trust.

Why is Pelicargo’s approach valuable?

In air freight, every shipment is urgent and highly valuable but also is competitively shopped to find the lowest possible price! To secure profitable, repeat, business and grow as an air freight forwarder, you must provide the best service at the lowest price. And you must quote, a lot!

Whether it be through agent networks or direct shipper business, the bread and butter of air freight forwarding is quoting potential shipments. Many freight forwarders quote hundreds of shipments each month only to see a handful convert. This traditional sourcing model is quite frustrating and complex. Everyone is strapped for resources, and transactions are usually conducted manually, over email, and in an ad-hoc fashion.

Our mission at Pelicargo is to break this status quo by freeing time, automating the tactics, and adding a deeper layer of intelligence to the process. In particular, by actively shopping the air freight spot market we source your best deals proactively and consistently. This difference provides you the competitive advantage to quote more and quote more aggressively.

The results so far have been impressive: we’re cutting the sales and booking cycle by hours and helping freight forwarders grow faster, without the typical risk, complexity, or additional resources.

How can you access Pelicargo?

The Pelicargo service is currently open to US-based freight forwarders that are IATA-certified.

If your company meets these requirements please book a demo to speak with an onboarding specialist. As we work as your partner in air freight, this step helps us better understand your business objectives so that we can best support you. During the introduction, we will set up your company’s Pelicargo account and add any users to the platform.
