The iCargo platform will provide a cargo sales, operations, accounting and portal for MSC and its quick implementation will help MSC to go-live faster and start business operations sooner.
Once implemented, iCargo will offer MSC full visibility of its air cargo value chain, covering sales, operations and accounting while gaining insights for business improvement.
Partnering with IBS Software will help MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, the world’s largest container carrier, to grow its air cargo unit, which complements its core ocean shipping services.
iCargo is fully compliant with global industry standards such as Cargo iQ, C-XML, OneRecord, e-AWB and e-freight, and is an important step towards achieving seamless operations across multi-modal logistics models.
Jannie Davel, Senior Vice President of MSC Air Cargo, says, “This is our first step into this market, and we plan to continue exploring avenues to develop air cargo in a way that complements MSC's overall solutions to our customers. This is why we’ve engaged IBS Software in a strategic agreement to implement their industry leading iCargo platform.”
Ashok Rajan, Head of Cargo & Logistics Solutions at IBS Software, adds, “We’re thrilled to embark on this partnership and to support MSC Air Cargo’s new business objectives in the cargo industry. We’re confident the iCargo solution and the team that continuously innovates our products will take MSC’s multi-modal business model to new heights.”
