Overview
Air cargo operations demand full visibility and compliance. Cargo Direct brings transparency down to the shipment level by integrating e-Air Waybill data and automating processes for consistent, efficient handling.

Transparency for Shipments inside ULDs and Pallets
Cargo Direct creates full visibility for shipments packed inside ULDs or placed on pallets. By integrating e-Air Waybill data, synchronising bookings and tracking consignments at piece level, it connects airlines, forwarders and handlers on one data platform. Using CPS Process Automation, the system ensures compliance, consistency and efficiency. The user simply scans the cargo – and Cargo Direct directs the next step, optimising every move and reducing handling costs.

Highlighted Modules & Functions
Terminal AWB Control
Provides AWB-level planning and control from acceptance to delivery. Tracks every shipment through all handling steps, ensuring consistent processes and accurate build-up. Strengthens compliance and visibility at the shipment level.

Cargo Direct Process Automation
Automates operator workflows: cargo is scanned and the system assigns the next step. Ensures compliance, consistency and error-free handling while reducing training needs and handling costs.

Landside Management (Planning, Acceptance & Delivery)
Coordinates truck acceptance and delivery processes, including weighing, barcode scanning and SLA tracking. Provides full audit trails and ensures cargo is processed efficiently at terminal entrance and exit.

Build & Break Job Management
Coordinates and sequences all build-up and breakdown jobs. Assigns tasks dynamically to workstations, ensuring balanced workload and adherence to flight schedules; improves reliability and on-time performance during peak periods.

Forklift Guidance System (FLGS)
Coordinates and sequences ULD/dolly movements and build/break tasks to ensure efficient intra-terminal transport and dolly-dock readiness.

Build-up Planning
Plans ULD build-up in advance based on flight schedules, booking data and equipment availability to ensure efficient packing and resource planning.

Manual Store Administration (MSA)
Controls storage and retrieval of loose consignments with SHC segregation, dwell time management and full audit trails for shipments not loaded on ULDs or pallets.

Inventory Viewer Module
Provides clear visualisation of consignment stock and locations, supports SHC segregation, quick retrieval and monitoring of dwell times.

MIS – Report & Live Analytics
Provides historical reporting and analysis tools to identify peaks and SLA performance, and real-time dashboards for monitoring equipment status, job queues and cargo movements to react instantly to bottlenecks.
