SINGAPORE, July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore Airlines, a
world-leading global carrier, is collaborating with IBS Software to
co-develop a shipment record solution. This will make substantial
strides in digitally transforming air cargo operations and
advancing towards IATA's ONE Record standards through the
digitisation of shipment records and usage of technology.
The two companies, in conjunction with Cargo Community Network
(CCN), have successfully completed the first phase of this plan
that involves the creation and sharing of shipment records across
airlines, cargo community system providers and ground handling
agents on the ONE Record platform. CCN's open data
collaboration platform, CUBEforall, enhances data exchange and
transparency, while seamlessly integrating legacy systems with ONE
Record standards. This milestone was presented during the IATA ONE
Record roadshow in Singapore on
July 23, 2024.
Shipment records are one of the most frequently used documents
in air cargo, forming the basis for all key processes in sales,
planning and execution for organisations. Today, a single shipment
results in multiple copies of shipment records across individual
stakeholders, and the process of handling physical paper-based
documents can be inefficient. Tapping on this new technology can
help enhance overall operational efficiencies.
The digitisation of shipment records through ONE Record will
enable Singapore Airlines to maintain a single source of truth,
allowing the data to be utilised beyond the physical life cycle of
shipments. This streamlined data exchange will facilitate
transparency and visibility across reporting, revenue accounting
and future planning for all stakeholders. From airline to shipper,
IBS Software will increase the accessibility of shipment data for
all partners in the air cargo supply chain.
Digital shipment records are fundamental for the future of
digital cargo, providing a solution to address incompatible legacy
systems, data duplication, and reduced data integrity. The
successful implementation of the shipment record based on ONE
Record lays the foundation for Singapore Airlines to implement more
innovative use cases, to help enhance efficiencies.
Ashok Rajan, Head of Cargo and
Logistics Solutions at IBS Software, added, "Partnering
with Singapore Airlines, a globally recognised leader in aviation
innovation, to drive the digital future of air cargo is a
significant objective for IBS Software. In today's cargo industry,
data accessibility and transparency are paramount. Data and
digitalisation are key enablers for the development of solutions
that allow cargo carriers to grow and meet their customers'
evolving needs. We are proud to have the support of an industry
pioneer like Singapore Airlines in enhancing accessibility and
excellence in the digitalisation of air cargo."
Marvin Tan, Senior Vice
President Cargo at Singapore Airlines, said, "At Singapore
Airlines, we continuously invest and innovate in all aspects of the
business. By co-developing a digital shipment record solution with
IBS Software, we remain committed to meeting IATA's ONE Record's
goal for enhanced data visibility for all our stakeholders. This
collaboration positions both organisations at the forefront of
cargo digitalisation, as we unlock new efficiencies and business
opportunities and respond to the evolving needs of the
industry."
