The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has announced that dnata has become the first company to adopt ‘Connect API’, the newest feature of IATA’s DG AutoCheck. Connect API will help in the digitalisation of the air cargo industry by automating the transfer of data from DG AutoCheck to other systems in the industry’s value chain. This connectivity has been enabled via IBS Software’s iCargo solution, which is currently being implemented across dnata’s global network.
Connect API can be used flexibly in line with user priorities. dnata, for example, plans to use Connect API to link its warehouse management system (iCargo) to DG AutoCheck to automate the creation of notifications to captain (NOTOC). Other potential applications include linking DG AutoCheck to operational or accounting systems and cargo management systems (CMS), said a release.
