Hellmann develops air cargo tracking tool
The global full-service provider Hellmann Worldwide Logistics is launching "SmartAir!", a new tool for the real-time tracking of air freight shipments.
Together with the Bonn-based start-up BlueBox Systems, Hellmann has developed a web-based platform which provides customers with comprehensive information about their air freight shipments at a glance, regardless of airline, route or type of shipment. With this innovation, Hellmann aims to close a gap in the live tracking of transports.
Based on GPS coordinates, the solution provides information on all stopovers and loading times for live tracking of shipments. In addition, the system offers analysis options for the performance of individual airlines, routes and airports, thus creating the prerequisites for optimising supply chain management. (ah)
