Wiremind to upgrade flagship product Skypallet

Wiremind announced that the beta-testing of its product Skypallet 2.0 is well underway and the company is on track to launch the improved version of its flagship product this summer.

Skypallet 2.0 will bring a more intuitive interface, greater processing speeds, and workflow automation, thanks to Skypallet’s integration in Cargostack, according to a press release from Wiremind.

Nathanaël de Tarade, CEO, Wiremind Cargo says: “Various improvements to Skypallet over the years means it is now used at multiple touchpoints and processes in the air cargo lifecycle by our customers. While Skypallet has already been integrated to customer systems through its API, it has remained a stateless application relying on external systems to provide shipment and capacity inputs per calculation.”

Tarade adds: “By incorporating it into Cargostack as part of our version 2.0, we now have the architecture to retrieve and hold all the relevant inputs consumed by the palletisation algorithm through what we call a stateful or deep integration with a customer's core reservation system. This enables different automated workflows such as running Skypallet autonomously in the background using the booking, flight and aircraft data to recommend outputs back to the airline system such as the remaining available volume, suggest offloads and significantly automate the flight release process. We are also excited because Skypallet 2.0 is unlocking a number of new use cases which we are actively exploring with early adopter customers. This includes a new module to manage end-to-end special loads processes, its use in-warehouse for build planning and execution, and aircraft weight & balance capabilities.”

With the 2.0 improvements, Skypallet can be used throughout the entire cargo lifecycle from quotation to booking acceptance, capacity control and flight release through to operations - enabling airlines to optimise space at every step and maximise revenue. It will be rolled out to new and existing customers over the coming 12-18 months with a comprehensive change management plan, the release added.
