Air cargo software firm Awery Aviation Software has won the IATA ONE Record hackathon for a fifth time after creating a tool that provides real-time visibility of shipment milestones.
The IATA hackathon this year took place in Hong Kong with software developers tasked with creating new tools that could integrate with the ONE Record data sharing standard.
Awery’s winning Voyager project integrates with ONE Record using API connections to monitor acceptance processes and handling updates and addresses delays caused by fragmented data across airlines, handlers, and forwarders.
It uses QR-based acceptance checks to capture key milestones, including Freight on Hand, Shipment Accepted for Carriage, and Ready for Carriage, in line with Cargo iQ’s Exception Handling Code Protocol.
The solution also integrates direct messaging alerts for forwarders, drivers, airlines, and shippers, and uses artificial intelligence alongside Open-Meteo forecasts to predict temperature risks before they impact cargo, Awery explained.
“Winning the hackathon for the fifth time shows how quickly working solutions can be built when standards such as ONE Record are applied in practice,” said Vitaly Smilianets, founder and chief executive, Awery.
“The industry does not lack data, but it still struggles to use it in real time, and Voyager demonstrates how that gap can be closed operationally.”
The project was delivered by Smilianets, together with Serhii Radchenko, Yurii Bykov, Anton Khrystenko, Anna Balan, and Ivaylo Atanasov.
