Unisys, a leading provider of aviation IT solutions, has partnered with two new carriers on its Cargo Portal Services platform. The first is Fits Cargo, a global air cargo carrier that handles international freight. The second is Expedite All, a US-based ground transportation network that specialises in last-mile delivery, getting goods from a regional hub to the final destination.
The integration means that customers of both Fits Cargo and Expedite All can now book, track, and manage their shipments directly through the Unisys Cargo Portal, rather than juggling separate systems for different legs of a journey. That end-to-end visibility is something the freight industry has been moving toward for years, and this deal, announced on May 6, represents another concrete step in that direction.
To understand why this matters, consider what currently happens when a business ships goods internationally. An air freight booking might go through one portal, customs documentation through another, and last-mile ground delivery through an entirely separate carrier system. Each handover is a potential point of failure, delay, or lost information. Platforms like Unisys Cargo Portal Services try to collapse these steps, so that a single interface handles the full chain.
“Expanding our bookings with Fits Cargo and connecting ground delivery through Expedite All provides clients with more options and demonstrates how we’re helping shippers reimagine the logistics experience. We’re empowering our clients to move freight smarter and faster, all within one trusted portal,” said Sean Tinney, senior vice-president and general manager of Enterprise Computing Solutions (ECS), Unisys.
Unisys had launched the portal in 2022, and has steadily added partners since. It already processes millions of shipments annually and counts major names in aviation among its users, including airlines, general sales agents, and freight forwarders. Recent integrations have included Air France-KLM and Lufthansa Cargo, two of Europe’s biggest cargo operators.
The addition of Fits Cargo brings greater international air freight reach, while Expedite All addresses a persistent weak link in many supply chains, which is the final stretch of a delivery within the United States. Last-mile logistics is often the most expensive and least efficient part of the journey, partly because routes and volumes vary so unpredictably. AI-assisted optimisation tools are increasingly being used to address this, and platforms that bring all stakeholders onto one system make that optimisation considerably easier.
For businesses that move goods regularly, the appeal is fewer systems to manage, less manual data entry, and a clearer picture of where their cargo is at any given moment. In an era when speed and reliability have become competitive differentiators, that kind of visibility is a baseline expectation.
