Automatic
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.
