Awery Aviation Software and IBS Software have teamed up to provide an enhanced solution for stakeholders across the air cargo and logistics supply chain.

Awery can now deliver its CargoBooking and eMagic software platforms to IBS’ iCargo customers as part of the former’s ongoing strategy to drive digitisation across the sector.

CargoBooking is an online booking portal that allows airlines and their GSAs to provide freight forwarders with real-time air cargo rate distribution and bookings between hundreds of airlines and forwarders.

eMagic can read different types of content including email, text, and image, converting them into instant air cargo quotes using standard data formats such as JSON and IATA ONE Record. All this information is carried through to bookings, payments, and track and trace services, enabling CargoBooking to provide an end-to-end fulfillment solution.

“IBS shares Awery’s vision of open access to our products to encourage cooperation that will lead to a truly lasting transformation in the air freight industry, which will benefit all stakeholders,” said Tristan Koch, CCO at Awery.

IBS iCargo, used by over 30 airlines including the likes of American, Etihad, IAG Cargo, and Korean Air, supports end-to-end cargo business functions for ground handlers and airlines, including cargo reservations, rating, manifesting, import and export operations, warehouse management, revenue accounting, air mail handling and revenue management.
