SKYPALLET 2.0 has taken on board feedback from leading airlines to add a more intuitive interface, greater processing speeds and workflow automation thanks to integration with CARGOSTACK.
Launched in 2017, SKYPALLET was the first commercial software to offer air cargo-specific 3D visualisation and optimisation of pallet and container loads.
The original goal was to help commercial teams quote shipments more efficiently and has expanded to support full flight optimisation for over 25 customers.
Key improvements for SKYPALLET 2.0 include rewriting the code base in a new programming language so customers benefit from faster calculation speeds and more advanced palletisation algorithms.
SKYPALLET has been integrated into the CARGOSTACK ecosystem for deeper integration and workflow automation.
New data points can be used by the palletisation engine such as freight status or its build characteristics on an inbound journey to produce more granular results.
The revamped user interface and experience has more intuitive workflows and information displayed.
Nathanael de Tarade, CEO of Wiremind Cargo, says, “While SKYPALLET has already been integrated to customer systems through its API, it has remained a stateless application relying on external systems to provide shipment and capacity inputs per calculation. By incorporating it into CARGOSTACK as part of our version 2.0, we now have the architecture to retrieve and hold all the relevant inputs consumed by the palletisation algorithm, through what we call a stateful or deep integration with a customer's core reservation system.”
Wiremind says improvements to SKYPALLET means 2.0 can be used throughout the cargo lifecycle from quotation to booking acceptance, capacity control, flight release, through to operations so airlines can optimise space at every step.
