PayCargo, the trusted logistics payment platform, and IBS Software, a leading SaaS solutions provider to the travel and aviation industry, today announced a new integration with Alaska Airlines that makes Alaska the first carrier to bring both inbound and outbound payment processes together through the PayCargo platform via iCargo, IBS Software’s market-leading cargo management platform. This announcement comes a few short weeks after PayCargo and IBS Software announced the deepening of their long-standing partnership to accelerate digital transformation across the global air cargo ecosystem.

The new system sets a benchmark for digital payment automation in air cargo. It connects payment and cargo management workflows from start to finish. This integration helps customers release cargo more quickly and with greater accuracy. It also reduces manual steps and provides a clearer and more reliable payment experience.

“This integration reflects our focus on making air cargo simpler and more reliable for our Alaska Air Cargo customers,” said Ian Morgan, Vice President of Cargo, Alaska Airlines. “Working with PayCargo and IBS Software, we’re creating a process that’s faster, clearer, and more connected.”

PayCargo and IBS Software have worked together for several years to simplify how airlines and freight forwarders manage payments. The new integration builds on that partnership by embedding PayCargo’s secure, real-time payment capability directly into the iCargo system used by Alaska Airlines.

“This milestone with Alaska Air Cargo shows what is possible when payment and cargo systems work as one,” said Eduardo Del Riego, President and CEO of PayCargo. “Customers benefit from faster processing, fewer errors, and smoother financial operations.”

“At IBS Software, our goal is to help airlines improve efficiency through well-connected digital systems,” said Radhesh Memon, VP, Head of Strategy & Product, Cargo at IBS Software. “Working with PayCargo and Alaska Airlines has resulted in a simple and practical solution that ushers in a new era of seamless payments directly through our iCargo platform.”

The collaboration marks a step forward in the modernization of air cargo operations. By combining payment and cargo management systems in one connected process, PayCargo, IBS Software, and Alaska Airlines are helping to make freight transactions faster, more accurate, and easier to manage. The integration reinforces each company’s commitment to advancing efficiency and reliability across the air cargo industry.
