Air cargo's digital gap: connecting fragmented data, not just digitising
At Aviation Connect in Athens, an Accenture Cargo executive said air cargo needs to link fragmented supply-chain data rather than only digitise more processes.
Speaking at Aviation Connect in Athens, Accenture Cargo's product growth lead Shanmugam Thangavelu said the next digital challenge for air cargo is not simply digitising more processes. The main task, he said, is connecting fragmented data across the supply chain.
He noted that changing trade patterns, growing capacity and the emergence of AI are increasing the need for cargo stakeholders to share and reconcile information. As an example, he pointed to China-US ecommerce trade, which he said has fallen significantly over the past year.
