Services (IBS) today launched its new-generation Cargo solution
– SmartCargo at TIACA’s 22nd International Air Cargo
Forum and Exposition here in Bilbao. SmartCargo is a
web-based solution that comprehensively meets the needs of the core
cargo operations of airlines.SmartCargo is an effective tool for
cargo capacity management, tracking,
pricing, AWB stock control and ULD management. It enables accurate
estimation of available cargo capacities using historical information,

services better. It provides up-to-the-minute information on shipment
status and facilitates communication of shipment status to the supplier/customer.

capture that translates in
to substantial savings in time and cost.Associated with the launching

He said, “SmartCargo is a futuristic solution that supports
the integrated management of cargo reservations and ground operations
of modern cargo carrying airlines. Built on technologies that offer
scalability, it can be customised to meet current and future business
needs”. SmartCargo is a product that has understood the needs
of the airline cargo industry and has delivered a very user-friendly
solution.Whilst SmartCargo is capable of
