TAP Air Cargo has taken a significant step in enhancing its capacity optimization process by implementing an API integration between SKYPALLET, Wiremind Cargo’s load optimization tool, and CHAMP’s Cargospot Airline cargo management solution.
The integration enables TAP Air Cargo staff to automatically transfer air waybill data from Cargospot to SKYPALLET for shipment evaluation and flight planning. This streamlines key processes, including co-loadability checks, segregation, and T-ULD planning, significantly improving efficiency and accuracy in flight operations.
Key benefits include:
- Automated Data Transfer: The integration removes the need for manual input, ensuring Cargospot remains the source of truth for updates, such as booking changes, which are reflected instantly in SKYPALLET.
- Time Efficiency: The planning and release process for a flight has been reduced from 15–30 minutes to just seconds, enabling TAP Air Cargo to optimize its operations seamlessly.
- Enhanced Load Factors: SKYPALLET’s integration typically improves flight load factors by 5–10%, maximizing cargo capacity and operational efficiency.
