Consolidated Aviation Services aids forwarders widen use of air waybills
CONSOLIDATED Aviation Services'(CAS), the largest cargo handler in North America, is to help 3,000 freight forwarders in the US to adopt electronic air waybill (e-AWB) processing with the launch of ePic Easy Export.
The new web-based tool supports CAS' commitment to a paperless air cargo environment in support of IATA's e-freight programme.
With more than 3,000 forwarders using CAS's ePic Online Customer Service Portal, the addition of ePic Easy Export will deliver the long-awaited community tool companies need to make the transition.
The e-AWB will eliminate the heavy dependency on paper documentation for the exchange of information. Currently, each international air freight shipment can require more than 30 different paper documents.
CAS information technology director Chuck Zhao is confident the latest offering from ePic can provide the impetus e-AWB needs in the United States.
"In the US, there is no community tool that gives air cargo people an easy transition mechanism to e-AWB," he said. "ePic Easy Export will help small-medium sized forwarders to transmit FWB and FHL messages and create an environment where creating an e-AWB is quick and easy."
