SriLankan Cargo is enhancing its airfreight booking and payment processes by integrating its services with CargoAi.

The CargoAi ecosystem will give users access to SriLankan Cargo’s online booking and instant cross-border payment capabilities, while allowing the cargo arm of SriLankan Airlines to increase its reach and support forwarders that were previously untapped.

The integration also streamlines payment processes by offering multiple payment methods, ranging from local transfers to credit card payments, removing the reliance on cash payments and enhancing security and efficiency in financial transactions. Additionally, CargoAi’s CargoWALLET platform facilitates the reconciliation process, automating tasks that were previously manual and time-consuming.

For freight forwarders, this now means that they no longer need to provide a bank guarantee or pay yearly subscriptions. Everything is seamlessly integrated with CargoMART, simplifying operations and reducing overhead costs, allowing forwarders to focus on core business operations without the burden of administrative complexities.

Chaminda Perera, head of cargo at SriLankan Airlines, said: “Our partnership with CargoAi marks another significant stride in our digitalisation journey, aimed at expanding our horizons.

“We will be able to enhance the visibility of our inventory and offer customers a convenient airfreight booking experience.

“We are looking forward to extending our market reach and engaging with businesses of all scales with CargoAi.”

Matt Petot, chief executive of CargoAi, said: “Our collaboration with SriLankan Cargo marks a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionise the air cargo industry.

“By leveraging technology to streamline processes and enhance user experience, we are paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable future in airfreight logistics.”
