Singapore Airlines is partnering with IBS Software to co-develop an innovative shipment record solution.

The collaboration will advance the digital transformation of air cargo operations and move closer to IATA’s ONE Record standards by digitising shipment records and leveraging advanced technology, according to an official release by IBS Software.

In collaboration with Cargo Community Network (CCN), the two companies have successfully completed the first phase of this project, which focuses on creating and sharing shipment records across airlines, cargo community system providers, and ground handling agents using the ONE Record platform. CCN’s open data collaboration platform, CUBEforall, facilitates enhanced data exchange and transparency, while integrating legacy systems with ONE Record standards. This achievement was showcased during the IATA ONE Record roadshow in Singapore on July 23, 2024, the release added.

“The digitisation of shipment records through ONE Record will enable Singapore Airlines to maintain a single source of truth, allowing the data to be utilised beyond the physical life cycle of shipments. This streamlined data exchange will facilitate transparency and visibility across reporting, revenue accounting and future planning for all stakeholders. From airline to shipper, IBS Software will increase the accessibility of shipment data for all partners in the air cargo supply chain.”

Ashok Rajan, Head of Cargo and Logistics Solutions, IBS Software says: “Partnering with Singapore Airlines, a globally recognised leader in aviation innovation, to drive the digital future of air cargo is a significant objective for IBS Software. In today’s cargo industry, data accessibility and transparency are paramount. Data and digitalisation are key enablers for the development of solutions that allow cargo carriers to grow and meet their customers’ evolving needs. We are proud to have the support of an industry pioneer like Singapore Airlines in enhancing accessibility and excellence in the digitalisation of air cargo.”

The successful implementation of the shipment record based on ONE Record lays the foundation for Singapore Airlines to implement more innovative use cases and enhance efficiencies, the release added.

“At Singapore Airlines, we continuously invest and innovate in all aspects of the business. By co-developing a digital shipment record solution with IBS Software, we remain committed to meeting IATA’s ONE Record’s goal for enhanced data visibility for all our stakeholders. This collaboration positions both organisations at the forefront of cargo digitalisation, as we unlock new efficiencies and business opportunities and respond to the evolving needs of the industry,” says Marvin Tan, Senior Vice President, Cargo, Singapore Airlines.
