Problems in Air Cargo Industry
Average air shipment generates more than 30 documents, handled by various
stakeholders in the supply chain.
• Inefficient use of time to re-enter data during information transfer
• Errors during data translation from one document to another
• Lack of ability to track and trace data flow in real-time
• Lack of ability to trace data source for verification
IATA e-freight
e-freight aims to take the paper
out of air cargo and to replace it
with the exchange of electronic
data and messages.

Success Story: DGF-Avago Integration
Published in the
e-freight@Singapore
Case Study Report by CAAS
Success Story: DGF-Avago Integration
Success Story: DGF-Avago Integration
“…used to require 1 hour to
complete a declaration for
Avago.”
“…now takes just a few
95%
minutes as
of the
data is already populated
when received.”
“As a result, shipments are
processed faster and
compliance with AED is
more assured.”
