Turkish handler automates air waybill digitisation, reducing processing time by 75% while eliminating manual entry errors across operations
Turkish ground handler Çelebi Aviation has implemented CHAMP Cargosystems' CHAMP A2Z Scan to automate the paper-to-digital conversion process for air waybills (AWB) and other documents.
CHAMP A2Z Scan is CHAMP’s first 100% AI-based product and it is designed to reduce the time associated with manual data entry and comparison from approximately three minutes to 45 seconds.
The data captured through CHAMP A2Z Scan automatically populates into Çelebi’s cargo management system, including its independent platform.
Use of the technology is expected to enable Çelebi to benefit from streamlined operations, time and cost savings, and decreased manual errors associated with paper-based processes.
CHAMP worked closely with Çelebi to educate and train staff on how to use AI technology to ensure the CHAMP A2Z solution works for their operations and end users.
Lucas Fernandez, vice president innovation & insight from CHAMP, said: “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working alongside Çelebi to implement CHAMP A2Z Scan in their operations.
"It’s fantastic to see their enthusiasm and commitment to digitalisation, and their impressive results in leveraging the tool. I look forward to seeing their continued success using innovative software solutions."
Ahmet Balakci, IT manager from Çelebi, added: “We are excited by the impressive results we are seeing through CHAMP A2Z Scan, and the operational efficiencies we have unlocked by leveraging intelligent technology.
"It has been a pleasure working alongside CHAMP to explore the possibilities CHAMP A2Z Scan holds for our operations, and we look forward to continued digitalisation and optimisation.”
Earlier this month, CHAMP Cargosystems appointed Manuel Galindo as its new chief executive to replace outgoing leader Chris McDermott.
