Kale Logistics Solutions (Kalé) will combine its cloud-based air cargo technologies with e-Smart Logistics’ (e-SL) capabilities to offer airlines greater shipment visibility.
Announced at TIACA Executive Summit in Warsaw, the partnership will improve real-time visibility and transparency at piece or stock-keeping unit (SKU) level and make it easier for airlines to provide end-to-end visibility for e-commerce and high-value vertical products, said Kale.
e-SL works with airlines to deliver integrated, end-to-end logistics solutions for e-commerce shipments, increasing the scope of their networks and control across shipment flows.
This capability extends to other verticals, including healthcare, aerospace, automotive, and valuables.
The partnership will integrate Kalé’s AvSys cross-border e-commerce platform launched earlier this year, which enables piece-level tracking and supports operational compliance.
“E-commerce and high-value shipments continue to be growing verticals for the air cargo industry, and shippers are demanding more visibility for each package,” explained Amar More, co-founder and chief executive, Kale Logistics Solutions.
“This partnership provides airlines with the tools to enhance their product portfolios, allowing them to compete for traffic by offering the piece and parcel-level visibility demanded, and the service quality shippers expect.”
“Global airlines are competing in an increasingly complex environment where product portfolios must be developed to meet expectations around speed, transparency, quality, compliance, and cost effectiveness,” said Denis Ilin, co-founder and chief executive at e-SL, part of the e-Smart Group of companies.
He added: “These demands continue to rise, with all becoming non-negotiable requirements for shippers and authorities.
“This partnership will help airlines meet these requirements and achieve end-to-end capabilities through a ‘virtual integrator’ solution powered by Kalé and e-Smart Logistics.”
He further stated: “Airlines must know on a piece level what they are carrying to stay safe and fully compliant with current and future regulatory requirements.
“Kalé’s technology, combined with e-Smart Logistics’ expertise, will allow air cargo carriers to reach a new level of operational sophistication with greater control and compliance.”
