Unisys Introduces Digistics™ by Unisys, a Cargo Management Solution to Help Carriers Improve Agility, Processes

Users can choose a single, comprehensive solution or pick from specific services based on needs, while built-in analytics drive insight for an improved bottom-line and future top-line growth

WELLINGTON, 15 March 2017 Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) launched Digistics™ by Unisys, a holistic and integrated cargo logistics solution that allows carriers to streamline freight management and improve their operational efficiencies. Digistics enables air carriers to choose from a comprehensive suite of offerings or select the specific cargo services they need, including inventory management, booking, invoicing, and accounting. The system features cross-platform analytics allowing carriers to view past, present and forecast data for enhanced operations.

Air cargo carriers face multiple challenges in today’s competitive cargo environment, including the demand for high visibility, the push for automated systems and paperless processes, and maximising available capacity – all within tight operating budgets. Digistics is a data-driven system that automatically records each transport and delivery checkpoint in the air cargo value chain. This provides airlines with real-time visibility of their shipments and gives carriers the ability to track and trace high-value products quickly and efficiently for an improved end user experience.
