FORWARDING giants Kuhne+Nagel (K+N) and Schenker are testing a new digital pick-up authorization system for the pickup of cargo at frankfurt airport as part of efforts to implement digitisation, reports London's Air Cargo News.
The digital authorization process has been developed by IT firm Allivate and will run through the airport cargo community system FAIR @ Link.
The two freight forwarders, along with handling agent LUG and forwarding service provider CHI Cargo, will test the new digital process over the coming two months.
Instead of the physical collection order, the pilot partners will use the FAIRLink platform to transfer the digital authorization for pick-up as verification for the release of the shipment.
Allivate managing director Martina Schikorr said: 'The new digital authorization for pick-up enables efficient handover of shipments and represents a huge leap forward in the digitalisation of logistics processes at Frankfurt Airport.
'At the same time, it also improves the traceability of pick-up processes, which leads to greater transparency and security throughout the entire supply chain,' she said.
Authorization for pick-up can take place up to two hours before touchdown.
