Cargospot gathers momentum

Finnair's five year plan

Finnair chose CHAMP's Cargospot solutions in April 200 as part of a five-year transformation plan for the airline's €200 million cargo business. The new system will drive out costs and improve yields across the airline's €200 million division.

The contract includes Cargospot Airline, Handling and Revenue modules to incorporate with GCCS, CHAMP's global community messaging solution. In addition, CargoWEB, the web booking, distribution and tracking solution, will be provided as a hosted ASP (application service provider) service.

Finnair, the flag carrier of Finland and widely recognized as an industry leader in the use of IT, has been a CHAMP customer for six years.

CHAMP has seen an extensive growth over the last year with 17 airlines choosing Cargospot Airline to help develop their business, reaffirming its position as the leading air cargo system.

Argentine champion

Aerolineas Argentinas, one of the fastest growing airlines in South America, has selected Cargospot Airline and Cargospot Revenue Accounting to manage its core cargo business.

The fully managed service will provide end-to-end control over the sale, operations and commercial management of the airline's growing cargo business.It means that Aerolineas Argentinas join the largest cargo community of airlines, ground handlers and general sales agents all using Cargospot for their core cargo applications needs.

The carrier is looking to CHAMP's reservations, capacity management and proactive service level monitoring in order to help it reduce our costs, maximize yields and improve customer service.
