Norwegian Automates Electronic Air Cargo Communication with Descartes
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
WATERLOO, Ontario, Nov. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group
(Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive
businesses in commerce, announced that low-cost airline Norwegian is using
Descartes' cloud-based Global Air Messaging Gateway solution to help standardize
and automate electronic air cargo communication with its customer base of
freight forwarders and other trading partners.
"Our rapid global expansion requires Norwegian Cargo to better engage with the
wider air cargo community that can benefit from using the bellyholds of our
expanding 787 Dreamliner fleet," said Bjørn Erik Barman-Jenssen, Head of Cargo
at Norwegian. "Descartes' Global Air Messaging Gateway will streamline
information and provide Norwegian Cargo with an effective air cargo
communications platform that will help us manage shipments more efficiently as
we continue our growth. This solution will also raise awareness of Norwegian
Cargo's capabilities among freight forwarders and will ensure that our
customers, potential clients and the entire air cargo community can easily
engage with us."
Descartes' Global Air Messaging Gateway helps carriers automate connectivity to
trading partners, monitor shipment status in real-time, and communicate timely
status updates to both forwarders and consignees. The solution uses Descartes'
cloud-based Global Logistics Network(TM) (Descartes GLN(TM)), an industry
leading solution for multimodal, real-time electronic data exchange. The
Descartes GLN also contains a wide array of value-added logistics services that
span the entire shipment management process from contract management to cargo
bookings, shipment tracking, and security and trade compliance filings, and
more.
"We're pleased to help Norwegian create more efficient cargo operations and
higher levels of customer satisfaction by automating communications with its
growing customer base," said Jan Markill, EMEA Sales Director at Descartes. "For
over 20 years, we've been helping the air freight industry replace slow, paper-
based practices with more efficient electronic ones. In an industry
characterized by a constant need to innovate, we have an extensive range of
technology solutions that can help carriers reduce costs and take customer
service to new heights."
