Philippine Airlines (PAL) has selected IBS Software's cloud-based iCargo platform to replace its current cargo system, the airline and software provider said.
The implementation is intended to extend iCargo across PAL's domestic and international cargo operations. IBS Software said the platform will support the carrier's modernisation programme and a full range of business functions, including international requirements such as customs reporting, settlement of duties and taxes, and regulatory compliance.
According to IBS Software, iCargo is already used by carriers that combine domestic and international cargo demands, and is designed to offer the flexibility, scale and capabilities needed to manage both. For PAL, the transition is expected to address operational requirements including system performance and data analytics.
The platform is also intended to support faster shipment processing, greater reliability and end-to-end shipment visibility, while reducing manual intervention and enabling more efficient processes.
Jason Siy, vice president for cargo business at Philippine Airlines, said the initiative is an important step in modernising the airline's cargo business. He said PAL needs a system that increases visibility and improves operational efficiency as it grows across its domestic and international network, and that the carrier sees iCargo as a key enabler of its long-term cargo transformation strategy and its ambition to build a stronger cargo business.
