Delta Cargo highlights improvements via HCS

Delta Cargo announced the implementation of Hub Control System (HCS), developed in partnership with Orga Dynamics.

"This new system has resulted in substantial operational improvements for customers with shipments transferring through Delta Cargo’s key hub stations," says an official release.

The HCS equips Delta Cargo with the ability to streamline its transfer connection process and better prioritise shipments based on scheduled departure times, the release added. "Since its implementation in April, HCS has enabled the proactive rebooking for over 3,000 air waybills prior to arrival, significantly reducing service failures associated with tight connection windows or known booking issues. This innovative system has been implemented across 11 key Delta Cargo hubs in the U.S."

Vishal Bhatnagar, Managing Director, Cargo Operations, Delta Cargo says: "“Historically, our warehouse teams have managed operational priorities via manual processes. We are thrilled to provide our team with this steering tool, which enables them to more efficiently ensure on-time performance via real-time decision making. We are excited to move Delta Cargo one step further in its journey to best-in-class and provide improved reliability to our customers with this modernised system."

Overall transfer connection performance has improved by an average of 14 percent in Delta Cargo’s largest hub in Atlanta, and the average offload recovery timeline improved by 24 percent – expediting customer recovery times by nearly two hours, the release said.

“It has been a pleasure to partner with Delta Cargo in delivering yet another innovative solution for its customers," says Kevin Vaz, Founder, Orga Dynamics. "We are thrilled that HCS is able to support Delta Cargo in its goal of leading the industry in reliability.”
