FreightWaves will work with AfA member companies to provide them with market intelligence, data-driven performance metrics, and unique operational insights. In addition, FreightWaves will create near-time data analytics and news content that can help member companies navigate challenges and opportunities in the market.
FreightWaves has recently invested deeply in air cargo and global trade data, by adding a team of four full-time air cargo journalists, hundreds of data series that are based on air cargo movement, and ramped-up analyst coverage of the global air and cross-border trade areas. The company has also recently rolled out the latest version of its information platform, SONAR 5.0. This upgraded version provides actionable airline performance data, TAC and Drewry rate indices, mapping tools, and other critical information for the air cargo community.
"The Airforwarders Association represents the most important organizations in the freight forwarding industry, with deep engagement with the air cargo and forwarding communities. Through this partnership, we will create the fastest and deepest set of analytics in the air cargo and forwarding communities ever offered," Craig Fuller, CEO of FreightWaves stated.
Brandon Fried, the Executive Director of the AfA, described the FreightWaves relationship as an enormous resource for members of the association. "Through this partnership, we will be delivering the first-ever near-time analytics platform to the freight forwarding community, based on the actual operational performance of AfA members. This cloaked data will maintain the privacy of individual organizations, while offering enormous value to AfA members. The aggregated market intelligence will offer insights which will mitigate operational and financial risk, drive revenue growth, and improve the quality of their service offerings across their networks."
