The iCargo CTO system deployment will introduce real-time data capture through barcode scanners and mobile workflows, helping automate cargo transportation processes
Cargolux ‘s Luxcargo Handling arm has signed a deal with IBS Software to update its legacy software with iCargo CTO (Cargo Terminal Operations) system.
This will include barcode scanners with real time data capture and will accelerate roll-out of paperless processes and digitised workflows through mobile phones.
The new system will also be a foundation for adoption of new industry standards including IATA’s One Record.
IBS said that the move would automate all air cargo transportation in and out of Luxembourg, Cargolux’s main European hub and one of the busiest in Europe, handling up to 1.2 million tonnes a year.
IBS Software provides software as a service solutions provider to the global travel industry. As well as cargo operations, it includes fleet and crew operations, aircraft maintenance, and passenger services.
Luxcargo Handling executive vice president, Sébastien Bauce, said that partnering with IBS Software would allow it to use digitisation “to consistently and easily deliver efficient ground handling services. Updating our legacy systems will allow us to have more visibility over our operations, and data, unlocking new and efficient ways of working.”
IBS Software head of cargo and logistics solutions, Radhesh Menon, added: “This partnership with Luxcargo Handling, a key and active air freight platform in Europe, shows how the iCargo and iCargo CTO solution can meet the varied needs of air cargo and ground handling operators. We look forward to seeing the new digital capabilities that Luxcargo Handling will leverage as they continue to play a significant role in the successful distribution of global goods.”
