Kalé Logistics Solutions (has signed a partnership with e-Smart Logistics to combine its Cloud-based air cargo technologies with e-SL’s logistics capabilities. The latter company works with airlines to deliver integrated, end-to-end logistics solutions for e-commerce shipments, increasing the scope of their networks and control across shipment flows. It will improve real-time visibility and transparency at piece or stock keeping unit (SKU) level, giving airlines the opportunity to expand their product portfolios with e-commerce and high-value shipment services.
The partnership will integrate Kalé’s AvSys product, launched earlier this year, which enables piece-level tracking and supports operational compliance.
Kale co-founder and chief executive, Amar More, said: “E-commerce and high-value shipments continue to be growing verticals for the air cargo industry and shippers are demanding more visibility for each package. This partnership provides airlines with the tools to enhance their product portfolios allowing them to compete for traffic by offering the piece and parcel-level visibility demanded and the service quality shippers expect.”
Denis Ilin, co-founder and chief executive of e-Smart Logistics added: “Airlines must know on a piece level what they are carrying to stay safe and fully compliant with current and future regulatory requirements. Kalé’s technology, combined with e-Smart Logistics’ expertise, will allow air cargo carriers to reach a new level of operational sophistication with greater control and compliance.”
