Freightos Limited has joined the IATA Digitalization Leadership Charter to support broader adoption of interoperable digital connectivity standards across the global air cargo ecosystem. As digital adoption across global freight continues expanding, interoperability and real-time connectivity between carriers, forwarders, shippers, and technology platforms are becoming increasingly important to enabling more efficient global supply chains.
The Charter focuses on five core industry priorities aimed at modernizing the sector. These include driving industry-wide interoperability and global data standards, strengthening digital resilience and cybersecurity readiness, and accelerating sustainable and paperless cargo operations. Additionally, the initiative seeks to advance digital excellence through innovation and automation while promoting the ethical and responsible adoption of emerging technologies, including AI.
"Real-time digital connectivity and interoperable data exchange are becoming increasingly important across global freight workflows," said Pablo Pinillos, CEO and Interim CFO of Freightos. "As the leading vendor-neutral digital freight network, we believe industry collaboration and common standards are important to reducing integration friction and enabling more efficient connectivity across carriers, forwarders, shippers and technology providers."
Freightos provides the open digital infrastructure required for a seamless transition into the next era of global logistics as the industry advances toward universal data standards. The company operates a vendor-neutral global freight booking platform where airlines, ocean carriers, thousands of freight forwarders, and over ten thousand importers and exporters connect. Its suite of software solutions spans pricing, quoting, booking, shipment management, and payments.
