As freight moves online, WebCargointroduces sales, booking and management portal for forwarders
June 22 2021 BARCELONA – A year of unprecedented shifts in global freight’s pace and volatility has changed shippers expectations of forwarder customer service. WebCargo, a Freightos Group company, is proud to launch WebCargo Vista. This best-of-breed digital
freight rate management and online freight sales portal taps into over a decade of freight tech experience to improve sales and communication efficiency for forwarders.
WebCargo Vista is unique in its combination of multimodal rate management with a leading pricing, booking and management platform, enabling over 90% of customer bookings to be conducted without a phone call or email. Together with powerful TMS
integrations, this unlocks fully digital customer service and sales.

It enables forwarders to manage their services online through a branded sales portal connected directly to their rate management systems.
