Singapore Airlines and IBS Software Partner to Digitize Air Cargo

Singapore Airlines and IBS Software have joined forces to create a digital solution for managing shipment records. This collaboration aims to streamline air cargo operations and align with the industry's move towards a paperless future.

By digitizing shipment records, the partners aim to improve efficiency, transparency, and data accuracy throughout the supply chain. The new solution will leverage the IATA ONE Record standard and integrate with the Cargo Community Network (CCN) to facilitate seamless data sharing among airlines, cargo handlers, and other stakeholders.

Key benefits of the digital shipment record include:

• Reduced paperwork: Eliminating the need for multiple physical copies of shipment records.
• Enhanced efficiency: Streamlining processes and improving operational speed.
• Improved data accuracy: Creating a single source of truth for shipment information.
• Increased visibility: Providing better tracking and reporting capabilities.

Both Singapore Airlines and IBS Software believe that this partnership will drive innovation in the air cargo industry and pave the way for future digital advancements.

Ashok Rajan, Head of Cargo and Logistics Solutions at IBS Software, added, “Partnering with Singapore Airlines, a globally recognised leader in aviation innovation, to drive the digital future of air cargo is a significant objective for IBS Software. 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, said, “At Singapore Airlines, we continuously invest and innovate in all aspects of the business. 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.”
