NORWEGIAN data company and ocean freight platform Xeneta is moving into air cargo with a rates benchmarking service, planning a full launch in the 2018 second quarter, reports Air Cargo News of London.
The company said the move is intended to bring "fresh levels of transparency to the volatile airfreight market", adding that Xeneta for airfreight will soon be available to selected beta programme users.
A Xeneta spokesperson said that its new product will "enable users to accurately benchmark their airfreight rates against the market, empowering unique insights, informed negotiations and enhanced decision making."
It is a model that Xeneta believes will "fly high in the aviation segment".
Xeneta chief executive Patrik Berglund said: "There is a clear market demand for a benchmarking tool enabling the industry to get optimal value from airfreight rate negotiations.
"The sector is equally, if not even more, unpredictable than that of ocean freight rates, with prices currently sky rocketing due to lack of capacity and increasing e-commerce demand, amongst other factors."
Xeneta for airfreight is now under development at the prototype stage, with a full launch scheduled for Q2 2018.
It will operate with "the same, proven crowd-sourcing data collection model as the ocean service, with similar functionality displaying the full spread of the market", Mr Berglund added.
