MSC Air Cargo Streamlines Shipment Management Using Descartes’ Air Messaging Solution

HONG KONG and ATLANTA, March 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that MSC Air Cargo, the cargo airline launched in 2022 by container shipper MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), is using the Descartes Air Messaging™ solution to better manage air freight shipments. The solution helps standardize electronic communication between stakeholders in the air cargo supply chain, including freight forwarders, ground handling agents (GHA) and government agencies.

“We’re focused on distinguishing our air cargo business through excellence in operations, unparalleled reliability and transparency with our customers,” said Anders Matikka, Vice President of MSC Air Cargo. “The Descartes solution helps us meet these goals by simplifying and streamlining how shipment information is received and transmitted between multiple parties with different systems, so that the air freight we move reaches its final destination reliably and efficiently. MSC already uses Descartes’ ocean messaging, security filing and global trade intelligence solutions in our container shipping operations and wanted to build on this success in air cargo.”

Designed specifically for the air cargo industry, Descartes Air Messaging simplifies the labor-intensive process of gathering shipment information across the air cargo supply chain from stakeholders that have disparate data standards, connectivity requirements and various systems. From Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to Application Programming Interfaces (API) and direct system-to-system connectivity, the solution supports a wide range of data standards, message specifications, and message delivery options to provide air cargo operators with the accurate and up-to-date shipment information they need to increase transparency, improve efficiency, and ultimately speed the movement of freight.

“We’re pleased to expand our relationship with MSC with our electronic messaging solution to support the company’s growing air cargo operations,” said Scott Sangster, General Manager, Logistics Services Providers at Descartes. “Descartes provides innovative logistics solutions for air carriers, ground handling agents and logistics service providers worldwide. From shipment status messaging to advanced security filings and customs compliance, freight and equipment tracking and condition monitoring, Descartes’ offerings help the air cargo industry streamline logistics operations, better manage and use equipment, and meet regulatory and safety requirements.”
