Houston | Berlin, March 17, 2026 – Crane Worldwide Logistics, a leader in supply chain solutions with operations in 33 countries, and cargo.one, the AI technology provider for logistics, have partnered to roll out cargo.one across the freight forwarder’s global footprint. The collaboration modernizes Crane’s procurement infrastructure around one central database, automates and streamlines its quoting and booking workflows, and lowers operational complexity and costs.
Amid increasingly complex supply chain conditions, Crane has further advanced its digital transformation by adopting a landscape of integrated solutions from cargo.one – including cargo.one pro, Live Rates, Static Rates, Live Estimates, Rate Engine, Quotes API, AI-powered Quoting, and Tender Feeder. cargo.one equips Crane’s teams with one unified source of content across the organization, and an innovative toolset with which to make stronger data-driven decisions.
cargo.one delivers Crane both a wider choice of market rates and better utilization of its own data, such as contract and consol rates, within quoting flows in all branches. Crane’s gateway teams can now instantly access every relevant rate with ease. This scalable digital infrastructure enables large scale forwarders like Crane to achieve accuracy and consistency in every sell rate, without the overhead and cost of hiring more quoting teams. cargo.one solutions are fully integrated with Crane’s WiseTech-powered TMS platform.
cargo.one’s Rate Engine replaces the need for multiple data sources by centralizing the management of Crane’s buy rates, internal product rates, and sell rates from a single interface, and serving as the foundation for all its sales teams. With cargo.one’s Quotes API, Crane can deliver shippers faster, more accurate quotes and RFIs, and ensure seamless quoting experiences.
Brannon Kuykendall, CIO, Crane Worldwide Logistics, commented, “Strong partnerships create real leverage. cargo.one unlocks quoting advantages by providing access to a broad portfolio of live, static, contract, and promotional airline rates in a single platform. As we continue to build AI-driven capabilities, solution providers that act as true partners, offer modern integration methods, and give us the ability to stream data and events in real time, enable our teams to focus on real, tangible innovation for our clients instead of data plumbing.”
In addition to cargo.one’s AI-powered quoting and AI agents now being available to its teams, cargo.one supports Crane’s wider AI strategy as a highly flexible and integrated AI-native digital backend to power its proprietary AI developments moving forward.
Moritz Claussen, Founder and Co-CEO of cargo.one, added, “We are proud to deliver Crane the optimal data foundation and infrastructure that its global operations can fully rely upon. Our collaboration with Crane reflects what we're seeing across the industry: forwarders need comprehensive data, intelligent automation, and a partner who understands the nuances of their specific business needs.”
By collaborating with cargo.one, Crane remains continually aligned with the highest industry standards for rate reliability, data quality, and availability – aspects that directly steer quoting and booking performance. As partners, Crane and cargo.one teams are working closely with a shared mission to continually grow the value Crane’s shippers receive from its digital forwarding processes.
