06 Jul Kale Info Solutions calls for digitalization and modernization of air cargo infrastructure at CLEAR VIEW Air Cargo Summit at Cancun
Digitalisation and modernisation of infrastructure key to tackling e-commerce boom as logistics leaders meet in Cancún, Mexico to debate future of the air cargo industry
Atlanta, USA, 27 June, 2024: Kale Info Solutions (Kale) has called on the air cargo supply chain industry to look into ways of improving communication and to modernise infrastructure especially with the boom of e-commerce being felt globally.
The CLEAR VIEW Americas summit, held in Cancún, Mexico, saw air cargo leaders and C-suite attendees discuss key issues for the future of the industry.
Among the topics discussed were how to accommodate the e-commerce boom, sustainability, and aging infrastructure across the Americas.
“We know that communication and digitalisation are critical to the logistics industry, and we have learnt so much by bringing together major players from across the supply chain to discuss the future of our industry – especially as e-commerce reshapes air cargo opportunities globally,” said Amar More, President, Kale Info Solutions.
“We can see the impact that e-commerce is having on the global marketplace and know that we need to accommodate this growth, which we can do by increasing efficiency through digitalisation and modernising infrastructure allow seamless transport links.”
Overcoming resistance to digital transformation was just one of the barriers discussed as Kale currently supports a change in attitude at all organisational levels to synchronise communication channels up and down the supply chain.
Digital innovation, and acceptance to enhance operational capabilities through this was also debated as supplementary regulatory support proving to be crucial for further improvements.
The summit had participation from airports, airlines, cargo handling companies, 3PL service providers and consultants.
Speaking about the CLEAR VIEW summit, Pamela Bermudez Montoya, Executive Director, Association of International Airlines in Colombia (ALAICO) said, “It was a very enriching experience filled with collaboration and learning from all these cargo great professionals.”
“The sessions were truly valuable to visualise how technology could and should contribute to a more sustainable and efficient logistical process, while simultaneously driving the required industry and government technological changes.”
The next Kale CLEAR VIEW event will be held in Istanbul, Turkey this October, where industry thought-leaders and organisational heads will reconvene.
