Transit Group adopts IVS's e-AWB solution
The South Africa-based independent freight forwarder Transit Group is submitting electronic consignment security declarations (e-CSDs) using software provider IVS's new cargo consolidator system, powered by WIN.
Transit Group selected the IVS system to automate air cargo shipments and comply with the e-CSD requirement of South African Airways' (SAA) subsidiary Airlink.
Airlink is also a user of IVS's cargo link system, which was developed and designed specifically for airlines and cargo handlers. Both African carriers can process e-CSDs submitted as part of the electronic air waybill (e-AWB) procedure.
IVS's software aligns Transit Group with the International Air Transport Association's-backed e-security consignment declaration process, championed by the South African freight community, and supported by the local civil aviation authority.
