SÃO PAULO, Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- SmartKargo, the technology company that brings
airlines into the age of e-commerce, and Azul Cargo Express, a
subsidiary of Azul Brazilian Airlines, celebrate their success and
ongoing collaboration that has revolutionized the e-commerce
package delivery industry in Brazil. The two companies have been long-term
partners, working together to drive innovation and efficiency in
the logistics sector.
Since its inception as the cargo division of Azul Brazilian
Airlines, Azul Cargo Express has rapidly positioned itself as a
leader in logistics solutions, especially within the burgeoning
e-commerce sector. According to Abhi
Shah, President of Azul Airlines, central to this success
has been the "Strategic adoption of SmartKargo's advanced
cloud-based technology, which has enabled Azul Cargo Express to
streamline operations, optimize Booking, inventory and visibility,
deliver superior customer service and drive revenue."
Olivier Houri, CRO of SmartKargo, stated, "Azul is a phenomenal
partner that shares our innovation DNA and focuses on the
customers." Azul Cargo Express has witnessed a remarkable growth
trajectory, with a consistent annual increase in package delivery
volume averaging between 30-35%. This growth has been fueled by the
rapid expansion of e-commerce in Brazil and Azul Cargo Express's commitment to
leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet customer demands.
In November of last year, Azul Cargo Express set a record by
handling over 2 million packages, reflecting the robustness of its
strategic initiatives and the effectiveness of the SmartKargo
platform. This achievement underscores the growing demand for
e-commerce and customers' trust in Azul Cargo Express's logistics
solutions. Azul Cargo Express delivers e-commerce packages for
Amazon, and, with Prime Day last week, increased their volume by
over 45% with great efficiency and customer satisfaction.
The extension of the SmartKargo contract for another 5 year is a
testament to the successful partnership and shared vision of
innovation and growth. Azul Cargo Express is poised to lead the way
in efficient and reliable logistics solutions, driving customer
satisfaction and market growth in the competitive e-commerce
landscape.
