Airline connectivity, built in
The difference between a forwarder that scales and one that stalls is usually how many times a shipment gets typed. Air cargo EDI removes the retyping between your desk and the airline — and with it, the errors that come from doing the same job twice.
What it does
Send AWB and House AWB data
Master and house-level shipment data goes to the airline electronically from the record you already created, rather than being rekeyed into a carrier portal.
Status updates come back automatically
Carrier milestones flow into the shipment record, so tracking a consignment is reading a screen rather than making a phone call.
Checked before it leaves
Shipment data is validated before transmission, so problems surface at your desk while they are still cheap to fix — not at acceptance.
EGM and IGM from the same data
Export and import manifests are generated from the AWB records you already captured, so the manifest matches the shipment by construction.
AWB and HAWB from the job
Air waybills and house air waybills produced from the shipment record, with the details already in place, rather than filled into a template by hand.
Dangerous goods declarations
Built-in DGD workflows for shipments moving under international air and ocean freight regulations, so compliance is part of the booking rather than a separate document chase.
Proof after the fact
What was sent, when, and what came back is retained — which is what makes a dispute with a carrier a matter of record rather than recollection.
Common questions
Do we need our own EDI setup with each airline?
Connectivity is configured per carrier as part of onboarding. The point of the demo is to establish which of your carriers are in scope before anything is committed.
What happens if a message is rejected?
Data is validated before it is sent, and the outcome of each transmission is recorded against the shipment so a rejection is visible and actionable rather than silent.
Can we still handle carriers we have no connection to?
Yes. Those shipments run through the same system and documents; only the electronic transmission step differs.
Does it handle dangerous goods?
Yes, through built-in dangerous goods declaration workflows designed around international air and ocean freight regulations.
