Synopsis
The key objective of the client was to build the most efficient cargo terminal. The client approached AdfarTech to set up the right Cargo Management System for their business needs. AdfarTech developed and implemented a warehouse operating system for end-to-end cargo management. Several innovative modules were developed specifically for the client.
About the Client

Business Challenge
The client wanted to build the most efficient cargo terminal in the region. Because of land issues, the terminal is vertically built and is designed on the principles of JIT. The biggest challenge faced by the client was to design the right Cargo Management System to cater to the business processes accurately.

- Export operations (like acceptance, departure control, transit management)
- AWB Management
- ULD Management
- Track and Trace Functionality
- Flight Management
- Warehouse Management (Space Allocation, Transshipment Dwell Time etc.)

As part of the newly developed cargo management system, few innovative modules that were developed are as follows:
- Automatic Truck Control System
- Automation of Claims and Service Request
