Nov 28, 2008 (newstodate): SAS Cargo's forwarding arm, Trust Forwarding is seeing tremendous advantages in the implementation of e-freight in Scandinavia.
-In Norway alone, Trust is processing 3,000 air waybills a month, and estimates claim that in average each air waybill is handled 60 times during its life span, so obviously electronic air waybills represent a tremendous improvement of our work processes, says Robert Skoog, Trust Forwarding general manager.
-Customers will also experience advantages from e-freight. Quality will improve when typing errors have been eliminated and air waybills cannot be mislaid. e-freight also enhances improved feedback as well as quality and performance measures in the interface between IATA's e-freight project and Cargo 2000.
Trust Forwarding has worked with e-freight on the lanes from Gothenburg and Stockholm to Hong Kong for more than a year. Over the last few weeks paperless shipments have been introduced on domestic Norwegian routes, and Swedish routes are soon to go operational as well.
Plans are to open new e-freight lanes consecutively, so that all Trust shipments to, from and within Scandinavia will be paperless before the end of this year.
