shipment tracking from SkyChain

DUBAI:
Customers using SkyChain, Emirates SkyCargo's logistics
management system, can now receive automatic
notification from the airline, by SMS or e-mail, of the
progress of a shipment. This comes about with the
introduction of a new module, the automatic status
Notification. A large part of a cargo agent's day is
spent following the status of various shipments. The new
module saves time and money. A customer who books a
shipment on SkyChain can instruct the airline to notify
him of a third party automatically by SMS or by e-mail
when the shipment has cleared the different stages of
transportation. The menu includes booking, shipment
received, customs cleared, notification of consignee,
delivered, transferred, discrepancies. The customer can
select one or all of these milestones after which to be
notified.
