And, the lack of automated material handling systems is one of the key issues facing the global aviation sector.

Data-driven decision making enables the entire supply chain to access data required to optimise efficiency. In such a scenario, there is a dire need for an end-to-end web-based domestic Air Cargo Management system which brings in collaboration, planning and process integration in cargo terminal operations.
