What the Air Cargo tools are
TrackJet ships a small suite of air-cargo decision tools for forwarders, shippers and cargo teams. They are pure, public, stateless tools: you fill in a form, they return rule-cited guidance. None of them invent a rate, a capacity figure or an embargo — where TrackJet is not connected to a live feed, the tool says so plainly rather than guessing.
All of them live under /cargo:
- [Pre-check](/cargo/pre-check)
- [Document builder](/cargo/documents)
- [Transit risk](/cargo/transit-risk)
- [Route recommender](/cargo/route-recommender)
- [Cold-chain / pharma mode](/cargo/pharma)
- [Carrier scorecard](/cargo/scorecard)
Pre-check
Paste a shipment's basics — commodity, packing, special handling — and the pre-check returns the gates it must clear before tender: dangerous-goods classification cues against the IATA DGR packing instructions, general-cargo acceptance points, and the documents you will need. It flags what needs a human decision; it does not certify a shipment as compliant.
Document builder
Builds the air-cargo document set for a shipment and validates the air waybill number, including the check digit (the last MAWB digit is the prefix-plus-serial modulo-7 result). Use it to catch a transposed or mistyped AWB before it reaches acceptance. Rates and charges are not filled in — TrackJet holds no tariff.
Transit risk
Estimates where a lane is likely to lose time: customs friction from public holiday calendars, congestion signals, and TrackJet's own observed transit statistics where a route is mature. Weather, strikes and embargoes are shown as "not connected" — they are real risks, but TrackJet has no live feed for them and will not fabricate one.
Route recommender
Compares candidate routings on the factors TrackJet can measure — distance, observed transit behaviour where data is mature, and estimated CO₂e — so you choose on evidence rather than a sales sheet. Capacity and price are not connected; the tool ranks on what it can honestly measure and labels the rest.
Cold-chain / pharma mode
Produces a GDP cold-chain checklist for a temperature range, every step citing its public basis (EU GDP guidelines, IATA Temperature Control Regulations, CEIV Pharma). Airline active cold-room capacity is shown as not connected — never invented.
Carrier scorecard
Rates air-cargo carriers only from TrackJet's own anonymous transit observations: the observed median and 90th-percentile delivery time per mature lane, plus a consistency band derived from those two numbers. There are no stars, no reviews and no on-time percentage — punctuality against a published schedule would require a schedule baseline TrackJet does not hold, so it is not claimed. A lane is rated only once it reaches ten real observations; everything below that is shown as "building data".
Saved cargo defaults
If you have a free account, [My cargo defaults](/my/cargo) stores the airline, airports and standard shipment you use most, so the cargo tools pre-fill on your next visit. No price is ever stored — the form has no price field by design.
The honesty line
Every one of these tools is built so that an unknown is visible, not hidden. Rates, capacity, embargoes and weather are surfaced as "not connected" until a real source backs them. That is deliberate: a blank you can see beats a number you cannot trust.
