Its hackathon success story began with its prize-winning CargoTracking.aero door-to-door air freight planning and real-time update solution for Cargo iQ members, developed in record time in Frankfurt, Germany, back in JUN23. This was followed hot on the heels, by its book and pay solution, Qpay.aero, at the hackathon in Doha, Qatar, in NOV23. And now, Awery has brought home the Developer Prize for a third time, at IATA’s latest ONE Record Hackathon held in Istanbul, Türkiye, and which concluded on 14OCT24.
The aviation software expert’s focus, this time, was on IATA’s instruction to develop a real-time data sharing solution for airlines, ground handlers and ramp agents, to avoid delays and increase air cargo handling efficiency. “Flight Care” was the result presented after an intense 28 hours of developing. The practical solution is designed to improve communication and visibility across the air cargo supply chain, particularly with regard to existing messaging issues between airlines and third-party providers. IATA’s ONE Record Data Sharing Standard is used to enable stakeholders to share critical shipment data in real-time and facilitate the input, update and tracking of Cargo iQ Flight Milestones (based on Cargo iQ MOP 4.0 guidelines) in both directions.
Vitaly Smilianets, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Awery, revealed: “Our goal was to develop a solution that eliminates the long-standing communication barriers that exist between handlers and airlines. By leveraging seamless data exchange through ONE Record, Flight Care can also accelerate the industry’s adoption of this data standard, facilitating further developments down the line.” Henk Mulder, Head of Digital Cargo, International Air Transport Association (IATA), applauded: “Congratulations to Awery Aviation Software on winning the Developer Prize at IATA’s ONE Record Hackathon. Their Flight Care solution addresses a critical need for better communication between airlines and ground handling agents, which is essential for improving efficiency and reducing delays. We are excited to see how this solution will continue to be developed to help advance collaboration between airlines and ground handling agents.”
