El Dorado not only figuratively refers to a place of wealth, success, or happiness, but now also includes good collaboration. South America is about to see its first Cargo Community System (CCS) go into operation, as India’s Kale Info Solutions has been working together with the region’s busiest airport and Colombia’s mega hub, El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, to develop a suitable cargo community system. In shifting to a digital air cargo community system, South America’s largest airport (by capacity), can bring greater efficiency to its cargo operations, maximizing its throughput. Already today, El Dorado International Airport (BOG), annually moves around 0.76 million metric tons of cargo, and “is one of the 20 most connected airports in the world: offering non-stop international flights to the Americas, Caribbean, and the Middle East.”
Kale and the local cargo community have been engaged in collaboration workshops in Bogota, to ensure that all involved stakeholders are prepared for the digital transition and can make the most out of Kale’s Airport Cargo Community System (ACS). The ACS streamlines processes, provides stakeholders with enhanced visibility and transparency, and not only enables real-time tracking and monitoring of cargo movements, but also incorporates automated regulatory compliance checks while ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Fabio Marques da Silva, Chief Operating Officer of El Dorado International Airport, said: “We are excited to pioneer this digital infrastructure at our airport, we believe the ACS will deliver the efficiency, sustainability, resiliency and visibility benefits to the cargo community, as we aim to build our systems with cutting-edge technology.”
Amar More, President of Kale Info Solutions, commented: “We, at Kale, are thrilled to pioneer the development of South America’s first Airport Cargo Community System (ACS) at Bogota. Latin America presents a vast, untapped opportunity for comprehensive digital transformation in logistics. Starting this journey in Bogota, a city that bridges diverse worlds, is truly exhilarating. The implementation of the Bogota ACS marks a significant stride towards achieving our global vision of a seamlessly connected logistics industry. It underscores our commitment to enhancing efficiency and collaboration across borders.”
