Airfreight Data Management Portal from TRAXON Europe

February 1, 2007

TRAXON Europe, Frankfurt, Germany, has introduced a cargo data management portal to help airlines improve the quality and reliability of their cargo-handling performance across the supply chain. Lufthansa Cargo is the launch customer of the product, TRAXON CDMP.

The portal is a web-based analytical application that enables airlines to measure and enhance their ability to handle consignments on time. The software measures booking, scheduling, flying and notification-upon-arrival performance against pre-set milestones. It identifies deviations and exceptions from anticipated service levels and enables airlines to implement solutions to strengthen their performance.

TRAXON CDMP builds a route map of six "essential" milestones that mirror the airport-to-airport transaction process from the creation of the electronic master freight air waybill through physical shipment delivery to the freight forwarder. If a missed milestone is imminent, the user, at its request, receives an e-mail shortly before the milestone is scheduled to take place.
