February 10, 2011 - LAN CARGO, the cargo subsidiary of LAN Airlines, has deployed a new cargo reservation management system with Accenture providing its cargo booking software designed for freight and logistics and acting as system integrator.
The new cargo reservation system is intended to further
provide competitive air cargo service to the thousands
of shippers that use LAN CARGO?s services each day.
As the prime system integrator for the software platform, Accenture worked with LAN CARGO to deploy and maintain the new cargo booking system. The cargo booking system that LAN CARGO has deployed is part of the Accenture Freight and Logistics Software (AFLS) solution. |

?With this
initiative LAN CARGO remains in the forefront of the industry.
By increasing our capabilities and cost-efficiencies of our
cargo reservation system we will drive growth, improve
competitiveness and increase customer satisfaction,? said Jorge
Ismael Torres, LAN CARGO?s Director of Revenue Management. ?In
selecting Accenture we based it on the strength of their proven
freight and logistics software solutions coupled with their
extensive experience with the air cargo industry.?
The cargo
reservation system gives LAN CARGO the ability to run real-time
operational checks that will reduce re-routing of shipments as
more thorough capacity and restriction checks are done before
accepting orders. LAN CARGO?s expected benefits from this new
cargo reservation management system include better visibility of
network availability, ability to offer multiple options to its
customers, information technology (IT) cost savings, and
increased operational efficiencies.
?One of the many challenges facing air cargo operators is understanding the network availability and assessing the operational requirements of a shipment at time of booking in terms of ability to deliver as promised while being able to provide value-added and cost effective options to its shippers,? said Adriana Diener, a senior executive for Accenture?s Air, Freight & Logistics and Travel Service group said.
?LAN CARGO
recognizes this, and we are privileged to be able to provide to
them the latest in cargo reservation solutions built with
Accenture software.? Accenture is also providing ongoing
software support as part of the contract through its Freight and
Logistics Center of Excellence in |
