Seamless communication is a vital component of any global logistics operation; having every part of an organization using the same communications platform is a logical step toward increased efficiency.
With this in mind, DHL Aviation has selected Descartes’ Global Air Messaging Gateway as its preferred platform to standardize electronic messaging with its global customer base, including major freight-forwarding organizations, other airlines, postal service operators and express courier companies, as well as ground handling agents (GHAs).
DHL said it will also deploy Descartes’ Air Shipment Management (ASM) to simplify its electronic document management for air shipments, and Descartes’ AEI, an on-demand solution, to collect, prepare and submit the required advance electronic information for global air cargo security filings to a growing range of countries worldwide.
Descartes said its solution helps carriers, like DHL Aviation, speed connectivity to trading partners, monitor shipment status in real time, and communicate timely status updates to forwarders, GHAs and consignees.
