Malaysia Airlines’ cargo division MAB Kargo has completed its implementation of a cloud-based logistics management system from IT company Unisys.

“Due to the nature of our daily operations, we needed a heavy-duty system which was accessible system-wide,” said Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi, chief executive officer of MAB Kargo. “Being a cloud-based system, we will be able to access regular updates and enhancements in the future.”

According to Unisys, the transition from the previous mainframe-based system to the cloud-based one included all of the carrier’s core system functions.

“Our cloud-based delivery model allowed MASkargo to transition to our cargo management system much more quickly than it would have been able to transition to a traditional software environment,” said Christopher Shawdon, vice president of logistics solutions at Unisys. “MASkargo also joins our community of leading air cargo carriers to have input into, and benefit from, ongoing enhancements of common interest.”

The cloud-based management system is updated monthly and helps airlines lower costs, according to Unisys.
