The Client

Originally printed in 1941 for use by the Airlines, the Air Freight Directory is an indispensable tool for Air Freight, Air Cargo and Freight Forwarders alike. Air Cargo Inc. is committed to building upon and expanding the former success of the Air Freight Directory by providing information, service and value around the world.

The Challenge

Air Cargo Inc. wanted to build an online tool to crunch multiple databases and get their subscribers the best point to point freight shipping options, this tool was expected to achieve the best levels of both performance and usability.

The Solution

New databases were designed with an AJAX driven system deployed to ensure efficient and accurate information was returned.

The system is able to perform mathematical calculations generating a list of best matched providers for Pickup from the origin, Airport transfers and finally delivery to the destination. The system also computes charges for accessorial services e.g. hazardous materials and fuel surcharges.
