Tokyo | Berlin, May 26, 2026 – Yusen Logistics, a global supply chain logistics provider, and cargo.one, the AI technology provider for logistics, today announced a partnership to enhance its global air freight sales and procurement operations. Through the collaboration, Yusen Logistics is rolling out cargo.one’s AI-powered operating system across rate procurement and management, quoting, and booking functions, including inter-branch transactions. 

As air freight procurement grows in complexity, Yusen Logistics is using cargo.one’s AI-native platform to unify how air capacity is managed globally. The platform enables teams to compare live, static, contract, and consolidation rates — together with local and trucking charges — in one standardized system. This centralized approach supports faster quoting, sharper pricing, and more data-driven decision-making across regions. Integration with Yusen Logistics’ Transport Management System (TMS) is planned to further enhance operational efficiency.

Eisuke Fukagawa,  Head of Air Freight Forwarding Unit, Yusen Logistics Global Management Co. Ltd., commented, “Implementing cargo.one's AI-powered operating system represents an important step in Yusen Logistics' journey towards pricing digitalization and broader procurement modernization. cargo.one’s technology and innovative approach strengthen how we manage air freight capacity globally, and directly support our long-term strategic objective”.

Moritz Claussen, Founder and Co-CEO of cargo.one, added, added, “It is an honor to collaborate with Yusen Logistics globally to maintain the most advantageous procurement and sales infrastructure for its global operations with our AI native operating system. With the best market data and technology driving its workflows, Yusen Logistics will now multiply the value of its resources and capabilities at scale”.

In addition, the partnership also includes a global managed network tailored to Yusen Logistics’ business needs. More than 100 branches worldwide now have real-time access to the best rates and service options across the Yusen Logistics network, improving visibility, consistency, and alignment across regions. The infrastructure has been co-built with a focus on maximizing service options and quoting experience for every Yusen Logistics customer.

By modernizing its set-up with cargo.one, Yusen Logistics establishes a reliable, single source of truth for rates ─ a foundation critical to powering both its human teams and AI-driven processes (such as automated quoting, booking, sales and support) as these capabilities grow across the organization. As a strategic partner, cargo.one helps Yusen Logistics to remain continually aligned with the highest industry standards for rate reliability, data quality, and availability – aspects that directly impact its operational performance and competitiveness. Both Yusen Logistics and cargo.one are committed to work closely with a shared mission to grow the customer value generated through Yusen Logistics' pricing and procurement.
