BLUE BELL, Pa., March 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today launched Digistics™ by Unisys, a
holistic and integrated cargo logistics solution that allows
carriers to streamline freight management and improve their
operational efficiencies. Digistics enables air carriers to choose
from a comprehensive suite of offerings or select the specific
cargo services they need, including inventory management, booking,
invoicing, and accounting. The system features cross-platform
analytics allowing carriers to view past, present and forecast data
for enhanced operations.
Air cargo carriers face multiple challenges in today's
competitive cargo environment, including the demand for high
visibility, the push for automated systems and paperless processes,
and maximizing available capacity – all within tight operating
budgets. Digistics is a data-driven system that automatically
records each transport and delivery checkpoint in the air cargo
value chain. This provides airlines with real-time visibility of
their shipments and gives carriers the ability to track and trace
high-value products quickly and efficiently for an improved end
user experience.
"Digistics is a business led solution for the air cargo industry
that features a modern cloud-based architecture that allows any
carrier to easily adapt the solution within their own enterprise
system," said Dheeraj Kohli, vice president and global head of
Travel and Transportation for Unisys. "We are proud to be the first
in this industry to offer catalogue-based cloud services. Carriers
can now select and subscribe to the features they need for their
business operations, while the advanced level analytics will allow
carriers to identify the factors to help them sustain efficient
routes, as well as improve processes on less efficient routes."
Available globally, Digistics includes Unisys' key cargo
offerings, including the logistics management system (LMS), cargo
revenue accounting (CRA) and cargo portal services (CPS), as well
as additional value-added services such as mobility, RFID and
analytics. The integrated cloud solution enables pay-for-use
billing for reduced costs, as well as fast implementation and
regular enhancements based on feedback from Unisys' active cargo
user group community – providing optimal performance for
carriers.
Unisys has more than 45 years of experience providing advanced,
critical IT solutions to the aviation industry. More than 20
percent of the world's air cargo shipments are processed on Unisys
solutions. Unisys cargo solutions are used by many of the world's
