Beyond expanding brand recognition in the freight forwarding market, OMEGAir CARGO aimed to leverage the networking opportunities provided by trade fairs. According to Husiatynska, “The significance lies not only in growth and brand visibility but also in networking. By maintaining good relations, you can gain further benefits that are not just purely sales-oriented. Over time, we can better understand the situation in our industry, learn about market demand, or receive recommendations from good suppliers and partners.”

OMEGAir CARGO engaged with representatives from technology providers, shippers, and carriers, extending their reach beyond the logistics sector. “We also had the opportunity to gather information from both potential customers and other companies operating in the same market.

In her presentation, Andrea Martin underscored the critical importance of formulating a digital strategy within the freight forwarding sector to successfully navigate the industry’s technological transformations. She also brought attention to the valuable role played by FreightViewer in supporting members’ digitalization efforts. Additionally, she emphasized two key advantages of the platform: the seamless connectivity it provides between members and the ability to conduct operations online. Wrapping up her participation, Martin addressed the several obstacles that arise during the implementation of digital strategies in the logistics business.

A panel of experts participated in the Container Shipping Conference who spoke on a range of topics such as container optimization, platform collaboration, port congestion and its consequences, the acceleration of digitization, investment scenarios, and solutions aimed at enhancing efficiency. This conference served as a platform for global professionals in the container shipping industry to comprehend and discuss international market issues as well as technical challenges.

To quote Antonio Torres, CEO and Founder of Globalia Logistics Network, “We are always keen on participating in conferences that showcase digital innovations within the industry. Such events not only keep our members and us well-informed about the latest developments in the logistics sector but also provide an opportunity to position our member-exclusive transport management software, FreightViewer, in the context of the new era where establishing a digital strategy has shifted from being optional to becoming a mandatory requirement for freight forwarders. We extend our thanks to PTN Events for extending the invitation to us, and it has been a pleasure to be a part of this event.”
