The new generation system, Voyager 7, relies on Accelya’s FLX Cargo Platform and will offer a multi-distribution strategy, which includes its own website, third-party marketplaces and direct forwarder integration.
Implementing the FLX Cargo Platform is a milestone in Accelya’s long-term partnership with Virgin Atlantic Cargo, which is upgrading its technology infrastructure to maintain and grow volumes secured during the pandemic.
Accelya’s FLX Cargo Platform digitises every aspect of the cargo booking process, from offer to settlement, providing greater commercial and operational control.
Andrew Wilcock, Chief Revenue Officer of Accelya, says, “The successful implementation of our FLX Cargo Platform is a shining example of our long-standing and fruitful collaboration with the Virgin Atlantic team. From the start of this project, we were facing a tight deadline for completion and, through a lot of hard work and collaboration by both teams, we were able to deliver the project on time.”
Phil Wardlaw, Managing Director of Virgin Atlantic Cargo, adds, “The capability that the new system delivers means we also have further exciting developments to come, including the introduction of our own online booking capability. We look forward to supporting Accelya to further develop the system capability, helping to ensure we remain at the forefront of cargo management system advances, and always aligned to the needs of our customers.”
