SmartKargo’s state-of-the-art, Cloud-based platform has expanded its reach south of the border, down Mexico way.
   SmartKargo, the rapidly expanding company is now providing cargo management for Mexico City-based Volaris, Mexico’s second largest airline. Volaris serving 22 U.S. destinations with cargo service to markets throughout Mexico and Central America will use the SmartKargo platform. Included in the management solution is one-screen booking interface, flexible pricing, user-friendly interface, and 24/7 call support from the SmartKargo team.
   SmartKargo CEO Milind Tavshikar said “SmartKargo’s cloud-based solution is ideal for an airline such as Volaris, who needed a quick implementation to capture the system’s many benefits without a large investment in infrastructure. Since our Cargo ERP system is based upon the Microsoft Azure global cloud infrastructure, every partner in the Volaris Airlines cargo chain will have instant access to shipment information, mobility via any smartphone, tablet, or other device, and instant business intelligence for decision support.”
   SmartKargo developed a ‘go live’ system that deployed in a record-setting 27 days.
   “Our new air cargo system will possess state-of-the-art functionality for mobility with instant visibility of shipment information for our customers. At the same time, the system will provide Volaris with instant business intelligence to help us grow our business and serve customers better. The system is flexible and easily scalable, providing easy integration with future technologies,” said Volaris Chief Commercial Officer Holger Blankenstein.
   Volaris joins a growing set of airlines that include Hawaiian Airlines, SpiceJet, Oman Air, Norwegian Cargo, and more.
