Overcoming 90% delays & duplication in Cargo documentation at a leading Airport in Asia with Kale’s GALAXY

Overcoming 90% delays & duplication in Cargo documentation at a leading Airport in Asia with Kale’s GALAXY

Our client is a leading Airport in Asia and a key aviation hub in Japan, renowned for its impressive cargo handling capacity. While primarily serving domestic flights, its capacity significantly contributes to the region’s logistics and transportation network. In terms of cargo throughput, the airport holds a commendable position within the Asian index, showcasing its importance among regional peers.

Globally, it ranks competitively, reflecting its efficiency and capability in handling substantial cargo volumes. This strategic positioning emphasises its role in facilitating trade and commerce, effectively supporting local and international markets.

Legacy system creating havoc

Being a large airport handling more than 0.7 million tons of international cargo, the airport used a legacy IT system, and several of its processes were manual in nature. Due to this, the airport could not achieve its true cargo handling potential and was bogged down with its own weakness. Additionally, a significant amount of data was duplicated because it was reused in multiple locations.

Leveraging Kale’s GALAXY to overcome delays & duplication

Kale’s GALAXY cargo management system has automated the shipment triggering and document acceptance process to streamline processes that previously relied on manual data entry or were not harmonised, resulting in delays and work duplication. Proprietary messages in vernacular language were customised, a major milestone for Kale as a digital trade facilitator.

Unique Capabilities of GALAXY

ULD Management – This module enabled sending UCM (In & Out), Stock Check Messages and LUC messages. It is capable of recording ULD closure, scale weight, and Contour code of ULD. In addition to this, it enables Ground Handlers to transmit EDI messages as per IATA and other regulatory standards.
