TAP Air Cargo Integrates SKYPALLET with Cargospot
TAP Air Cargo has made significant strides in optimizing its capacity by integrating SKYPALLET with the Cargospot cargo management software from CHAMP Cargosystems. This API integration enables TAP Air Cargo staff to automatically transfer air waybill data from Cargospot to SKYPALLET for shipment evaluation and flight planning.
Enhanced Efficiency and Immediate Optimization
The integration allows TAP users to see immediate optimization of their flight plans, including loading checks, segregation, and T-ULD management. Nathanaël de Tarade, CEO of Wiremind Cargo, stated, “Digitalization brings significant process efficiencies, as the ongoing success of our SKYPALLET product proves: a single solution that, on average, helps improve flight load factors by up to 5-10%.”
Streamlined Operations
With the need for manual data input removed, this integration will significantly reduce the time taken to plan and release a flight from a typical 15-30 minutes to mere seconds. “It was always our plan to integrate SKYPALLET with our cargo reservation system, Cargospot, since we engaged Wiremind,” said Rita Rosário Garcia, Product and Service Director of TAP Air Cargo. “Both systems were API ready, and there is always a step change in benefits when you can support a business process with seamless technical integration.”
Collaborative Success
Nemil Sheriff, Senior Product Manager – Cargo Portals & APIs at CHAMP Cargosystems, emphasized the importance of APIs in enhancing collaborative efforts, saying, “APIs are at the heart of Cargospot’s open and collaborative approach. This integration enables TAP Air Cargo to leverage the power of Cargospot for a highly efficient capacity optimization process.”
Future Prospects
Looking ahead, this integration underscores TAP Air Cargo’s commitment to innovation and efficiency. Nathanaël de Tarade remarked, “We are particularly happy to launch this solution together with TAP Air Cargo, who has been a valued partner over the past year and a half, and CHAMP to demonstrate the potential of collaboration within our industry.”
