Launch of eCargo Pouch® The two cargo community system providers Cargonaut International B. V. based at Amsterdam airport and Traxon Europe based in Frankfurt (Germany) have signed a cooperation agreement which took effect at the beginning of this year.Jointly they launched the web based central document and message management system eCargo Pouch on January 19th. The new product is designed to fully support the IATA e-freight initiative. Felix Keck, Managing Director of Traxon Europe, and Arno Hoitink, Managing Director of Cargonaut, formally signed a cooperation agreement in Frankfurt (Germany) which took effect with the beginning of this year. “We are pooling our resources to speed up new e-freight product developments. In addition, we try to stay abreast with changes in our industry such as new demand in the areas of security, e-freight or environment and pressure on costs. Together we are much stronger”, explained a proud Felix Keck. In the new cooperation both companies will continue to service their existing as well as potential new clients according to the principle “one face to the customer”. New solution eCargo Pouch® eCargo Pouch®, a central document and message management system, enables creation, archiving and viewing of virtual document pouches which are comparable to the paper pouches that accompany air cargo shipments. Freight forwarders can now file trade and air transport documents, e.g. commercial invoices, certificates of origin, packing lists, air waybills or house air waybills electronically with eCargo Pouch®. The documents are then available in real time via internet to all authorized partners of the supply chain. These parties can be company subsidiaries, representative offices, partner companies in the country of destination, airlines, cargo handling agents, etc. Also Customs organizations strongly benefit from eCargo Pouch®. In addition, the eCargo Pouch® system includes an archiving module. This is of great importance as a significant number of countries require legal archiving of trade and transport documents for many years. The archiving module also meets the demands of the e-AWB initiative of the IATA e-freight program. Quelle: Cargonaut B.V. |
