February 12 2015 - 6:45AM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced
that CDM Software Solutions, a provider of cloud-based operations
and asset tracking software for freight forwarders, export packers,
exporters and other logistics services providers, is using
Descartes' Global Logistics Network (GLN) to provide its customers
comprehensive air cargo connectivity and messaging services.
"The ability to electronically exchange air waybills, house
bills and status messages enables our customers to further automate
and streamline processes, meet expanding carrier electronic
communications requirements, increase visibility and improve
performance. Customers benefit from simple and fast activation on
Descartes' GLN from CDM Software Solutions' e-Commerce friendly
software platform," said Darrell Ortiz, CEO and founder of CDM.
"Descartes' GLN also provides our users with connectivity to air
carriers around the globe to help them meet IATA's electronic air
waybill (e-AWB) initiative. Developed in collaboration with
stakeholders across the air cargo industry, e-AWB aims to eliminate
the majority of paper-based air waybills by 2016."
Descartes' GLN is an industry leading solution for multimodal,
inter-enterprise electronic data exchange. CDM is able to
seamlessly connect its customers to the GLN and offer them
value-added services to:
- standardize and automate air cargo and freight management
operations;
- provide real-time shipment status monitoring;
- improve service by transmitting accurate and timely tracking
updates to customers;
- meet global trade requirements;
- reduce transportation costs by minimizing carrier charges for
security and documentation services; and
- participate in key air cargo industry initiatives, including
eFreight and Cargo2000.
"We're pleased to partner with technology providers, like CDM
Software, to augment their air cargo connectivity capabilities to
better serve customers," said Scott Sangster, Vice President,
Global Logistics Network at Descartes. "Today, the electronic
movement of data between logistics parties can be as important as
the physical movement of cargo itself. Using air cargo connectivity
solutions, such as the GLN, enables more reliable planning and
delivery of air cargo."
