Business mobility is the growing trend of businesses. It offers remote working options and allows the use of mobile devices to carry on your businesses uninterrupted and seamless using cloud technology to access business data.
Last few years ACL Airshop, a steadily growing leader in products and services for the global air cargo and airlines industry, has been investing in new technologies to allow its customers to be more efficient with their cargo fleet. It’s ULD Control software is a completely web-based solution for controlling ULDs anywhere, anytime. But in June this year, ACL Airshop announced a cutting edge technology solution to enhance the ULD Control software and lunched FindMyULD, a mobile app that would allow you the complete control of your ULD fleet seamlessly.
It’s just about four months since the launch and the app has been well received by ACL Airshop’s ULD Control, Leasing and ground handling customers. “They feel that we are clearly on the path to total digitalization. We have created a platform where all customers and handlers have valuable, real-time information on the whereabouts of their ULDs. We are ahead of the pack with these developments; already implementing with multiple airlines,” said Jos Jacobsen, chief technology officer of ACL Airshop.
