The ULD management company announced Christine Klemmer as its chief innovation officer to lead the newly established department of the company, which aims to enhance ULD management services through cutting-edge technology, strategic AI applications and tracking solutions.

"As the company continues its growth trajectory, Klemmer's focus will ensure that Jettainer remains the industry's leading innovator in ULD management, providing forward-looking services to customers worldwide," Jettainer said in a statement.

Jettainer said the primary goal of this new department is to leverage cutting-edge technological developments to enhance Jettainer’s ULD management services even further.

This includes the strategic utilization of AI applications and exploring innovative tracking solutions beyond BLE.

Additionally, Jettainer's own IT landscape, JettwareNG, will be further improved and automated, facilitating faster and more user-friendly experiences for customers, service providers and employees through smart workflows.

"Staying innovative and leveraging the latest technological opportunities is crucial to ensure efficient ULD management for our customers around the globe. That is why we have now created the structures that give room for new and creative solutions," said Thomas Sonntag, chief executive officer of Jettainer.

"Christine Klemmer's experience at home and abroad and her wide-ranging expertise in ULD management, air freight, and IT makes her the ideal fit," he added.
