Wipro Technologies has entered into a partnership with International Air Transport Association (IATA) for its e-freight initiative. The financial details of the engagement were not disclosed.

By joining the IATA e-freight Preferred Partner programme, Wipro will commit to the development of e-freight solutions that will reduce complexity and paper-based processes.

An average shipment currently travels with up to 38 documents that are exchanged between various parties including, shippers, airlines, freight forwarders, handling agents, import/export brokers and customs. IATA also aims to align stakeholders to common goals and standards in order to facilitate the delivery of e-freight solutions. IATA and Wipro have worked earlier in areas such as design and development of platforms, reporting applications, portals and Web-based applications. Wipro is engaged in a long-term application support.

Mr Manoj Punja, Senior Vice-President, Wipro Technologies, said, "IATA is spearheading an industry-wide initiative to optimise air cargo processes."
