Accenture offers Air Cargo Suite to improve efficiency

Accenture has unveiled a version of its Air Cargo Suite software to help air cargo carriers become more flexible, competitive and efficient.

Accenture Cargo Suite offers capabilities through streamlined operations and data integration and is available for delivery as a service.

Company officials said that carriers can take advantage of a robust cargo management solution while retaining the agility and cost benefits of SaaS.

The SaaS includes reservations, routing, price and operations software, provides a cost-effective, simplified way to improve workflows and help reduce revenue leakage with a scalable, low-risk solution.

Accenture targets small and midsize air cargo carriers who face fewer in-house resources to focus on technology with the launch of the new suite.
