The move will further enhance the collaboration between LATAM and Unilode after the successful outsourcing LATAM's entire ULD management operation to Unilode in 2016. The partnership also earlier saw the opening of a bespoke ULD repair centre in Santiago de Chile and an optimized ULD supply enabling LATAM to focus on fulfilling its growth ambitions.

 

"At LATAM we are focusing on reinforcing LATAM Cargo's competitiveness in order to maintain our leadership in Latin America. Unilode´s digitalization program will provide LATAM with opportunities to enhance our product offering by improving visibility and adding features such as temperature monitoring of the tracking devices that will be fitted to our containers and pallets," Andrés Bianchi, LATAM Cargo CEO, said.

 

Unilode CEO Benoît Dumont said the latest development will allow LATAM to track and control ULD movements.

 

"LATAM is a strategic customer for Unilode, one we are proud to have in our portfolio. Both parties have worked closely together over the last three years and I am delighted that we are now taking our partnership to the next level through our digitalization programme," he said in a statement.

 

"Our innovative solution will give both parties even more visibility and control of ULD movements, and provide LATAM with exciting new possibilities to stand out from their competition and increase revenues in the segments that they are strong in, like fresh produce," he added.
