Kale Logistics Solutions has announced the development of Africa’s first Airport Cargo Community System (ACCS) for Mozambique Airport Handling Service (MAHS). This landmark project aims to streamline operations and enhance efficiency in Mozambique’s growing air cargo sector. The ACCS will address critical challenges such as revenue leakage, lack of visibility, and data interchange between stakeholders, and will support the airport in going paperless. The system will be implemented in two phases. The first phase involves integrating finance and customs systems along with Kale’s GALAXY 3.0 airport cargo digital management system. Initially, the services will be extended to eight airports where MAHS operates, followed by twelve more in the subsequent phase. Kale’s ACCS will provide real-time tracking of cargo movements, automated regulatory compliance checks, and enhanced visibility for all stakeholders. This development is expected to position Mozambique as a potential multi-modal cargo hub within Africa, leveraging the country’s growing air traffic and increasing demand for logistics services.
Tubias Fondo, IT and Communications Head, Mozambique Airport Handling Service, explained: “Kale has been the torch bearer of air cargo digitization across the world, and we are proud to be the first adopters of its ACS in Africa. We strongly believe its technology-enabled solution will build strong business synergies for us in the long run.” Vineet Malhotra, Co-founder and Director of Kale, commented: “We at Kale are excited to deploy Africa’s first ACS. We are proud to bring our expertise and best practices to this collaboration, ensuring the highest standards of service and innovation. Developing ACS for a major player like MAHS in Mozambique is a milestone for Kale. We are committed to offering the best-in-class service for MAHS and look forward to having a long-lasting business relationship with them.”
