IBS Software's iCargo will deliver improved productivity and process agility, transforming how POS Aviation manages cargo operations at major airports in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Malaysia-based Pos Aviation has transitioned to IBS Software's cloud-based cargo management platform, iCargo, to power its Cargo Terminal Operations at all major airports in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu). iCargo has replaced the legacy systems that previously managed the cargo terminal operations, providing enhanced process agility and improved productivity and positioning Pos Aviation as an end-to-end integrated logistics provider. Under the contract, IBS also implemented other systems to transform Pos Aviation's Unit Load Device (ULD) management and mail operations.

Over 35 leading operators around the world - airlines, cargo terminal operators and ground handling agents - depend on the platform for their mission critical operations.

Pos Aviation, the only independent cargo ground handler in Malaysia, also offers inflight catering and aircraft maintenance and engineering services to inbound and outbound international commercial airlines in Malaysia.

CEO of Pos Aviation, Woo Kam Weng said, "We are glad that we decided to work with IBS for our new cargo system. It is proven to be a good product enabling Pos Aviation to continue providing excellent services to our international customers. We have achieved better service levels whilst improving our cost efficiency and productivity."
