MONTREAL, Sept. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- ACL
Airshop, a technology driven global leader in air cargo "ULD"
logistics solutions, is using the occasion of the annual ULD
Care Conference in Montreal to
announce and discuss continued progress with innovative
technologies such as Bluetooth tracking & tracing, "ULD
Control" proprietary logistics programs, and their latest
"FindMyULD" free app, all in the context of the Company's
continued arrangement with Descartes through its acquisition of
CORE Transport Technologies. Descartes is an Ontario headquartered Canadian and US publicly
traded company with FY19 revenues of $275
Million (US). Descartes has over 20,000 customers worldwide
according to its latest Facts Sheet.
Jos Jacobsen, ACL Airshop's Managing Director-Global
Leasing & Chief Technology Officer, who is also a Board
member of ULD Care and attending in Montreal, said: "We have all arrived at a
new era for real-time air cargo visibility. Despite current tariff
wars, long-term the air cargo sector is increasing in
volume, value, and even as a percentage of total world trade
shipments. Tracking ULDs and their contents in real-time not only
can reduce costs, it helps answer shippers' questions about where
their goods are, and their status along the supply chain. We are
seeing new ways to add value for our customers with these
initiatives."
ACL Airshop and CORE Transport Technologies
teamed up several years ago, announcing in September 2017 during the ULD Care Conference in
Budapest their ambitious
strategic alliance plans. Since then, as the
first-to-market technology leaders for ULD innovations of this
type, the two companies have made good progress. Wes Tucker, ACL Airshop's Executive VP for
The Americas who helped ink that initial partnership, said: "We are
in actual implementation of Bluetooth, ULD Control, and
FindMyULD with multiple airlines. Like most first
adopters, we are continuously improving the service product
as we go along. We will actually demonstrate FindMyULD for
any airlines clients attending ULD Care who wish to check it out,
it's intriguingly effective." He continued: "We
believe the strength of Descartes as CORE's new globally-networked
parent bodes well for continuing advancements."
ACL Airshop is one of the corporate signatories to
the ULD Care CODE OF CONDUCT. Pieter van
Calcar, ACL Airshop's Managing Director-Asia Pacific, said:
"It's always about quality, safety, and service with us, for our
hundreds of airlines and air cargo clients. ULD are flight safety
critical and costly items of aircraft equipment. The Code of
Conduct creates a foundation for all players in the air cargo
industry worldwide to deliver safe, sustainable, cost-effective ULD
operations." Maurice van Terheijden, ACL Airshop's Managing
Director-EMEA, also attending, said: "The 10 points in the ULD
Care Code of Conduct are important hallmarks for all of us in our
company. Plus, our new technologies and the enhanced
transparency, with data analytics, can help air carriers manage
better their ULD inventory, balancing supply and demand with the
location of the assets, thus reducing costs, increasing efficiency,
even doing more with less investment."
ACL Airshop is sponsoring the Women in ULD
Networking Breakfast during the ULD Care Conference. Ms.
Halima Hodzic, ACL Airshop's
General Manager at Chicago's
O'Hare International Airport ("ORD") is the featured speaker during
that breakfast event, the first of its kind at a ULD Care
Conference. She said: "Our new technologies are a game changer for
us, and for airlines who adopt. IATA estimates that up to
$475 Million in industry-wide savings
is possible by better managing the movement of ULD's. We want to
help deliver those savings for our customers."
