Luxcargo Handling, a subsidiary of Cargolux, the largest all-cargo airline in Europe and flag carrier for Luxembourg, has partnered with IBS Software to digitally update and streamline its ground handling operations.
Luxcargo Handling, with an annual capacity of up to 1,200,000 tons of cargo, will implement iCargo CTO (Cargo Terminal Operations) to update its legacy systems for core ground handling operations.
The iCargo CTO system will enhance the delivery of Luxcargo Handling's ground handling services.
Through the solution, Luxcargo Handling will gain access to digital-first business functions, including barcode scanner-enabled operations with real-time data capture.
Data-driven processes will also increase, and real-time visibility and control in Luxcargo's Handling operations will be accessible.
"Luxcargo Handling will also benefit from the iCargo CTO solution's digital capabilities, such as accelerated adoption of paperless processes, digitised workflows through mobile-enabled capabilities, and ensure compliance with industry standards," the statement said.
It will also serve as a foundation for the adoption of new industry standards, such as Cargo One Record.
"Partnering with IBS Software will give us the opportunity to leverage digitisation to consistently and easily deliver efficient ground handling services. Updating our legacy systems will allow us to have more visibility over our operations, and data, unlocking new and efficient ways of working," said Sébastien Bauce, executive vice president at Luxcargo Handling.
Radhesh Menon, head of cargo and logistics solution at IBS Software, said the partnership with Luxcargo Handling, a key and active air freight platform in Europe, shows how the iCargo and iCargo CTO solution can meet the varied needs of air cargo and ground handling operators. "We look forward to seeing the new digital capabilities that Luxcargo Handling will leverage as they continue to play a significant role in the successful distribution of global goods."
The partnership with Luxcargo signals a significant achievement for IBS Software, which will automate all air cargo transportation in and out of Luxembourg, one of Europe's most vital cargo hubs.
