Cebu Pacific’s cargo unit re-signs deal for SmartKargo cloud solution

Sep 17, 2019: Cebu Pacific Air Cargo (CEB Cargo) has renewed its contract with software company QuantumID Technologies, for the advanced SmartKargo operating system.

The Philippine carrier has utilised the innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) solution to empower customers with real-time shipment information and advanced tools such as mobile apps that streamline customer experience via kiosks at the warehouse.

Based on the renewed partnership, the airline’s cargo business will continue to be powered by the cloud-based real-time management. Cebu Pacific was the first Asian carrier to adopt the SmartKargo Cloud platform in 2013.

The mobile app has also allowed CEB Cargo to enable its clients to manage their shipments end-to-end, from booking to destination. In addition, SmartKargo has helped CEB manage and integrate new dedicated cargo capacity into its fleet.
