E-Freight Initiative
The e-freight initiative is a paper-free transaction that runs across the shipment lifecycle, reducing costs drastically while improving efficiency. The initiative, in alliance with IATA as a strategic business partner, aims at a phased approach towards providing solutions towards a paperless environment in the air cargo business processes.
IATA's long-term vision is to free air cargo industry processes of paper, which run across the cargo line between various parties including shippers, airlines, freight forwarders, handling agents, import / export brokers and customs. The IATA Board of Governors has now set the vision and targets for IATA e-freight; a minimum of five countries will begin pilots during 2007.
IATA e-freight is facilitating the industry, through cross functional and cross segment working groups, to establish and agree on industry principles for operating within an e-customs environment, business processes and e-message standards. By joining the IATA e-freight Preferred Partner program, Wipro has committed to the development of e-freight solutions that will dramatically reduce complexity and paper-based processes.
