The Hindu Business Line : IBS Software unveils new airline cargo solution

IBS Software Services (IBS) has launched its new airline cargo solution — SmartCargo, at the 22nd International Air Cargo Forum and Exposition (ACF) of The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) in Bilbao, Spain.

SmartCargo is a Web-based solution that comprehensively meets the needs of the core cargo operations of airlines, said Mr V.K. Mathews, Chairman and Managing Director of IBS.

It is an effective tool for cargo capacity management, tracking, pricing, airway bill stock control and unit load device management. It enables accurate estimation of available cargo capacities using historical information.

SmartCargo also maintains integrated cargo tariffs helping airlines price their services better. It makes available updated information on shipment status and facilitates its onward communication to the supplier/customer. Customers can benefit from direct access to airline services via the Internet. The system will also minimise errors in data capture that translates into substantial savings in time and cost.

According to Mr Mathews, SmartCargo is a futuristic solution that supports the integrated management of cargo reservations and ground operations of modern cargo carrying airlines. It is built on technologies that offer scalability, and can be customised to meet current and future business needs.

According to Mr Peter Cefai, Chief Operating Officer, IBS-Europe, SmartCargo has combined domain vision and original thinking with technology expertise and domain experience.

IBS had recently partnered with Cendant Travel Distribution Services (TDS), a division of Cendant Corp, for marketing its new-generation Passenger Services System designed to replace legacy technologies.
