In conjunction with Cargo Community Network (CCN), the two companies have completed the first phase of the plan, which involves creating and sharing shipment records across airlines, cargo community system providers and ground handling agents on the ONE Record platform.
CCN’s CUBEforall open data collaboration platform enhances data exchange and transparency while seamlessly integrating legacy systems with ONE Record standards.
The milestone was presented at the IATA ONE Record roadshow in Singapore on 23 July.
The digital shipment records through ONE Record will enable Singapore Airlines to maintain a single source of truth, allowing data to be utilised beyond the physical lifecycle of the shipments.
Streamlined data exchange will provide transparency and visibility across reporting, revenue accounting and future planning for all stakeholders.
Ashok Rajan, Head of Cargo and Logistics Solutions at IBS Software, says, “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, adds, “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.”
