Air cargo software firm DAKOSY and airport operator Fraport have established a joint venture to develop cargo community systems.
The new joint venture will be named Allivate and each of the two companies will hold of 50% share.
Martina Schikorr of Fraport and Dirk Gladiator of DAKOSY have been appointed as managing directors.
The two partners said that the new venture will aim to further expand the FAIR@Link Cargo Community system.
Gladiator and Schikorr have identified three specific areas in which processes can be further streamlined and optimized.
For example, customs requirements can be even more conveniently implemented, the digitalisation process for land pick-ups and deliveries is to be further developed and e-commerce functionalities are to be automated to an even greater extent.
“A functioning digital infrastructure is a must-have for every modern cargo hub. We want to offer our customers the best cargo community system possible so that their processes will run simply, smoothly, and quickly,” said Schikorr.
“More than 1,000 participating companies are thus given the commitment to have Fraport alongside DAKOSY as reliable partners for digital infrastructure and, with allivate, one central point of contact on site.”
Fraport said that it would contribute its airport know-how and its function as a neutral link to the local cargo community and the authorities.
DAKOSY, meanwhile, said it would provide IT expertise in cargo handling and customs clearance as well as “experience in the development, operation and technical support of the Cargo Community System – Made in Germany”.
Gladiator added: “We are pooling our strengths and can therefore launch innovations and digital solutions onto the market faster. The active role of the cargo community in Frankfurt plays an important part, as together we jointly develop all digital processes along the supply chain there.”
