Thiruvananthapuram : Technopark headquartered IBS Software, a leading provider of IT solutions to the global travel, transportation and logistics industry, was declared the winner of the “Emerging Cargo IT Systems Provider of the Year” award.
This was announced at Air Cargo India 2008, an international event that concluded at the World Trade Centre in Mumbai.
V.K. Mathews, chairman and CEO of IBS Software, received this award from Michael Proffitt, CEO of Dubai Logistics City, early this week, said a company statement released here Wednesday.
IBS’ iCargo, a new-generation cargo management system (CMS), was chosen winner of the award based on factors such as functionality, technology used and the range of business benefits to airlines.
“We are extremely pleased about this recognition from the industry. Our collaboration with six major cargo carriers, who formed the Core Group of Influence to build the iCargo product, has helped us develop the most definitive next-generation CMS to enable airlines move away from decades-old legacy systems,” said Mathews.
Currently, CargoJet and Northern Air Cargo in the Americas and Avient Airlines in Europe use IBS’ cargo management systems.
Other major airlines the firm has signed up include Nippon Cargo Airlines, All Nippon Airways and Air New Zealand Cargo.
iCargo is one product in the IBS’ Cargo suite of products. It is an integrated system, which addresses cargo reservations, capacity control, rating, load planning, cargo terminal operations, ground handling, revenue accounting and yield management requirements of cargo carrying airlines.
IBS offers a range of products and services that manage mission-critical operations of major airlines, airports, oil and gas companies, seaports, cruise lines and tour operators world-wide.
IBS has business operations in the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. It is supported through 11 global business centres.
