Aerios Launches Carrier App to Boost Efficiency and Revenue in Cargo Charter Market

Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2024

Aerios, a member of CargoTech, has launched its first product, the Carrier App, a charter management system designed to increase efficiency and revenue for cargo charter carriers.

The app integrates with flight operations, CRM, and communication systems to create a streamlined digital workflow, automating manual tasks and eliminating the need for spreadsheets and group email inboxes. Simon Watson, founder of Aerios and co-founder of CharterSync, said the goal is to help brokers, charter professionals, and carriers work more efficiently, surface real-time data, and maximise revenue opportunities.

“Our mission at Aerios is to enable teams to spend less time on manual processes and more time on relationships and growth,” Watson explained. “The Carrier App was developed in collaboration with several cargo charter carriers, following extensive trials and research workshops. It eliminates error-prone and cumbersome processes, offering a single tool for consistent workflow across the entire team.”

The app is designed specifically for the complex and ad hoc cargo charter market, which is often unsupported by commonly used sales tools. Carriers are frequently forced to choose between manual processes or costly investments to customise existing CRM tools, but Aerios’ solution offers an alternative that does not require expensive IT integrations.

In addition to its streamlined workflow, the Carrier App provides access to aggregated market trends and data, helping carriers make informed decisions and maximise revenue. It centralises communication, internal data reports, market insights, and quotations, ensuring that charter teams remain informed and responsive. “The app is already live with a group of carriers, and we will be announcing airline partnerships in the coming months,” Watson added.

Aerios plans to expand its product line with additional tools to further support carriers in distributing their capacity to market.
