data quality and trade lane performance, exception alerts and validations, route
map creation, as well as comprehensive reports enabling carriers and forwarders
to analyse the full lifecycle of each shipment.
Avianca Cargo also uses the Descartes Global Air Messaging Gateway solution to
standardize and automate connectivity to trading partners, monitor shipment
status and communicate status updates to both forwarders and consignees.
Descartes' Global Air Messaging Gateway and Cargo 2000 solutions fully leverage
the Descartes Global Logistics Network(TM) (Descartes GLN(TM)), an industry
