Compare CargoAi vs. TIO

CargoAi is a digital airfreight technology platform that helps forwarders, airlines, GSAs, and logistics technology providers modernize the way air cargo is searched, booked, tracked, and managed. It gives freight forwarders access to schedules, real-time rates, bookable options, shipment updates, and delivery visibility through an easy-to-use digital interface. The platform is used by thousands of freight forwarders worldwide and connects with more than 100 airlines to support faster and more transparent air cargo bookings. Airlines and GSAs can use CargoAi to strengthen their digital sales strategy and make capacity available through a wider distribution network. TMS and ERP providers can embed CargoAi efficiency tools into their own platforms through API-based solutions. CargoAi’s product ecosystem includes tools such as CargoMART, CargoCONNECT, CargoGATE, CargoINTEL, Cargo2ZERO, and CargoWALLET. The company emphasizes data security, secured data centers, continuous product improvements, customer education, and global support. Its mission is to bring modern technology to airfreight while supporting a more connected and sustainable cargo ecosystem. By simplifying booking, improving access to capacity, and helping users monitor shipments, CargoAi gives logistics teams a smarter way to manage air cargo operations.

TIO serves as an intelligent operating system specifically designed for freight forwarders, seamlessly linking your email inbox with your Transportation Management System (TMS) to manage the coordination process: it interprets incoming shipment emails, associates messages with active jobs, and populates TMS records for your team's approval. TIO efficiently manages each phase of the shipping process, which includes activities such as requesting quotes before booking, authorizing bookings, extracting pre-alerts, staging ISF 10+2, monitoring risks for late freight and detention, dispatching trucks, drafting arrival notices, routing customs documents, matching invoices to rates, and closing lots. Every record created in the TMS receives a thorough review and must be approved by a designated team member prior to TIO making any entries, ensuring that there are no automatic submissions. The system is compatible with platforms such as CargoWise, Magaya, Descartes, GoFreight, and any TMS that supports REST or SOAP APIs, and typically, installation can be completed in less than a week for most freight forwarders. Freight forwarders generally process between 80 to 200 shipments each month, and the manual tasks involved in coordinating between the inbox and TMS—such as reading emails, routing information, re-entering data, and following up—typically take around 8 to 12 minutes for each shipment. By automating these repetitive tasks, TIO significantly reduces the time spent on manual coordination, allowing teams to focus on more strategic activities.
