Cargo Payments Summit: Modernizing Cargo Payments

11 & 18 May 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of pricing and revenue management practices....

It is clear that with all developments in FinTech and alternative payment options in B2C and B2B, air cargo is facing many challenges and opportunities in embracing automated payment and digital processes. Who is using digital platforms as a competitive advantage to improve service levels? What about the financial impacts? What does effective digital payment depend on in terms of digital cargo management in real time?

In this conference, we discussed strategic, operational, and customer aspects around the adoption of alternative payment and digital payment platforms in air cargo. We also looked at cargo release and payment issues in a digital world. We discussed all security and payment access obstacles around payment. We also explored how to navigate through readiness issues, obstacles, the various integrations and making a cultural shift.

Themes:

• Customer service in digital cargo payment, alternative payment options, charges, charge-backs, shipment release
• Dependencies on digital cargo management vs payment platforms and technology
• Digital platform competitive landscape – who are the leaders?
• Trends in cargo payments
• Innovators in cargo digital marketplaces
• Payment transparency and claims
• Cargo loyalty management
• Cyber security in cargo sales and distribution
• Future of payment analytics
• Panel discussion
