Menzies Aviation goes live with Wipro’s new cargo management system
MACH system will be deployed at 10 locations with plans to implement it across Menzies’ global network by end of 2024
Menzies Aviation and Wipro announced the successful launch of the new Menzies Aviation Cargo Handling (MACH) cargo management system.
Following the successful launch of Menzies’ cargo operation at Bucharest Otopeni Airport in Romania, the MACH system will be deployed initially at 10 air cargo locations with plans to implement the system across Menzies’ global network by the end of 2024, says an official release from Menzies.
"The partnership between Menzies Aviation and Wipro has combined Menzies’ extensive knowledge and expertise in air cargo operations with Wipro’s cutting-edge technology capabilities. In just over 12 months since signing the contract, it has delivered a pioneering, end-to-end cargo management system, MACH, which is set to transform Menzies operations across the network."
MACH represents a significant enhancement on Menzies’ current cargo management system with a modern user interface (UI) and easy-to-use navigation, making it user-friendly for all stakeholders, the release added. "Its cloud-based architecture ensures accessibility from anywhere, anytime and on any device, providing real-time insights and data.
"Operating from a single source of truth, MACH seamlessly integrates with other systems helping to simplify and standardise all processes. An integral part of the cargo management ecosystem, it improves data accuracy as all electronic information is populated automatically across the system.
"Its open architecture approach ensures that Menzies and its customers leverage their existing technology investments while benefiting from the advantages of MACH. The launch of its state-of-the-art MACH cargo handling system as well as its recent award win in partnership with Dexory for its Robot Mimi exemplifies the company’s efforts to provide world class innovative technology solutions to its customers."
Beau Paine, Global Head of Cargo, Menzies Aviation says: “We are excited to embark on the journey to deliver MACH to our customers in Bucharest.
