IBS implements iCargo for South African Airways

Thiruvananthapuram-based IBS has implemented its next generation, air cargo management solution suite -- iCargo- in South African Airways (SAA), the flagship carrier of the Republic of South Africa and the region’s largest airline.

iCargo is being used across the SAA network of 48 stations, including 39 international locations, five self-handled warehouse facilities and its global cargo HQ at Johannesburg, an IBS press release said.

With the implementation of iCargo, SAA migrates from ‘legacy’ systems to a more cost-effective and futuristic, flexible and adaptable, fully web-based IT platform.

The new solution covers the business process automation and management across all cargo and mail business functions, such as post office mail handling, mail revenue accounting, cargo revenue accounting, cargo sales and operations, cargo terminal operations and revenue management, the release said.

SAA had co-developed the iCargo solution along with four other airlines.
