The app will include several features in addition to all the important functionalities of GVK’s air cargo community portal GMAX , which has been operational since December 2013.

The app will offer different levels of authorised access to the cargo terminal operators , customs , custom brokers , airlines , freight forwarders , shippers/consignees and other statutory bodies , thereby affording greater visibility into cargo operations and tangible cost and resource benefits.

The app also enables Export general manifest (EGM) tracking, which can expedite the export incentive realisation process. The app launch comes at a time when the Government of India has been advocating the need for a ‘Digital India’.
