Business Wire
Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has helped Air France KLM Martinair Cargo
(AFKLMP Cargo) roll out a new software solution across its global
cargo network as part of the company’s digital transformation
journey.
The implementation of the Accenture Freight and Logistics
Software (AFLS) platform is designed to help Air France KLM
Martinair Cargo ― the dedicated air cargo business of the Air
France KLM Group ― drive customer excellence and quality in the
quote-to-book process. The AFLS solution integrates all the
commercial functions (Booking, Offer, Pricing, Rating, Capacity
& Revenue Management, Flight Planning and Airway Bill Control)
across Air France and KLM.
AFLS is now the unified digital platform for AFKLMP Cargo
bringing an end-to-end commercial focus to revenue management
process and extending the value chain to the end customers. With
the legacy systems decommissioned and replaced by the AFLS
integrated Commercial Suite, Air France-KLM-Martinair Cargo IT
system capabilities have been enhanced to enable price integrity
and consistency for the airline group’s customers and partners. The
AFLS Flight planning tool brings optimization focus for the
short-term capacity management window. The AWB Control tool enables
automatic and guided discrepancy resolution between the commercial
order and the operational shipment, thereby preventing revenue
leakage.
“We are excited to have the Accenture Freight and Logistics
Software live and in day-to-day use,” said Wijnand de Groot, Vice
President Customer Service at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo. “With
Accenture’s software, we are able to leverage the strength of our
network to offer better solutions to our customers. The solution
has simplified and transformed our system landscape, bringing
tangible benefits on our transformation journey. Next to improving
customer service and sales by our local offices, the software
enables us to speed up innovation and offer new digital
solutions.”
“The implementation of AFLS at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo is
a key milestone in the carrier’s digital transformation journey,”
said Ganesh Vaideeswaran, managing director, Accenture Freight and
Logistics Software. “The simplification, transformation and
integration of core systems and processes should enable AFKLMP
Cargo to improve profitability and further enhance customer
service. We look forward to a long and enduring partnership with
Air France-KLM-Martinair Cargo and will continue to leverage our
market-leading innovation architecture and capabilities to help
them accelerate their digital transformation.”
