Cargo 2000

Cargo 2000 is an opportunity for freight forwarders to optimize their performance and provide transparency to their customers.

In order to achieve full Cargo 2000 coverage of house shipment monitoring, freight forwarders and their agents must be aware of substantial changes to the import and export processes. Riege Software International has detailed knowledge of all aspects, and will guide you through the process of implementing this new standard.

Cargo Community System

Riege Software International provides electronic data exchange with a Cargo Community System (CCS), direct or through our clearing center, as an integrated Procars module.

Through the Riege Software International Clearing Center we can offer you connection to ARINC [US], CCN [SIN], Cargo Connect [CCX/UK], TRAXON Europe [TRX/DE] and INTTRA [DE].

Transmission

Your data is transmitted as flat format files to the Riege Software Clearing Center, where it is converted to the required format. This message is then transmitted to a CCS, which will subsequently forward it to the relevant Airline or Sea Carrier. The Airline or Sea Carrier processes the message and sends any replies back to the Riege Software International Clearing Center via the respective CCS. The reply is converted to the required Procars format and forwarded to the originating system for further processing.

The Riege Software International Clearing Center controls both conversion and communication processes. Communication can be established in a number of ways."

AMS Air

To satisfy US Customs and Border Protection regulations, Riege Software International implemented transmission of House AWB data to airfreight carriers via TRAXON Europe [TRX/DE]. This "ProAir AMS Air" module is available since March 2004.

eBooking

The Procars ProAir software system has supported electronic booking since 1998. Although this system is installed and fully functional on many of our clients systems it was not used. The reason for this was that the airline systems did not electronically confirm most of the bookings. The bookings then usually went into a manual queue and were not worked on. In order for a booking system to work it is essential that the forwarder receives an immediate response and if the booking can not be handled automatically then there must be a reliable back office system to manage these bookings manually. Because of this problem our customers were forced to use fax or e-mail and some also used web browser solutions. This media break always means double entry of data and, as far as the web browser is concerned, much higher demand on the back bone of the forwarder system.

Booking answers must be entered manually into the forwarder system.

In 2002 Riege Software International GmbH worked together with Lufthansa Cargo Systems to implement the Lufthansa variant of the CARGOIMP booking. After the first trial period at the end of 2002 the system was optimised on both sides in over one hundred individual tests at the beginning of 2003.

The benefit to the forwarder and Lufthansa is that a large number of ad hoc bookings are now handled fully automatically. Using the LH Time Frame option it is also possible to place a booking just giving Departure, Destination, Pieces, weight, product code and last but not least the LAT (Last Acceptance Time). The LH booking engine will then reply with the first available flight and supply the ETA and ETD. Many of the large forwarders are now able to book allotments and multi master AWB using the new enhanced Procars eBooking module. A further value added service is that the booking per Fax or e-mail can now also be generated automatically to the airlines that do not support a functional eBooking system. This means that the monthly flight schedule booking process can be done by pressing one button.

This system is fully integrated into the ProAir module. There is no double entry of data. All transactions are carried out in the shipment key-in or Flight Schedule process. Answers are routed automatically into the internal and/or global connect Track and Trace modules. Since the first pilot installation (at Geis SDV) we have worked to establish a fully functional system that is continually supported by the RSI Maintenance group who together with Traxon and Lufthansa eChannel provide a fast and professional support chain for the whole eBooking procedure.

The figures below confirm that eBooking in Procars is now, as far as Lufthansa is concerned, a normal part of the order processing. RSI is willing to go forward with all airlines or providers who offer such a service.

ATLAS

Riege Software International provides electronic data exchange with german customs, direct or through our AT- Clearing Center, as an integrated Procars module.

Work-flow

The user enters the complete data into the Procars system ProCust for customs clearance and sends the electronic documents to the AT-Clearing Center. The AT-CC forwards the customs declarations to the systems of the German Fiscal Authorities. As soon as the German Fiscal Authorities have decided on the customs declarations, they are sent back to the AT-CC. The AT-Clearing Center passes the documents immediately to the respective customers' Procars system.

Customers benefit from using the AT-CC by not having to deal with the special communication needs of the German Fiscal Authorities as well as the powerful transmission tracking system built into the AT-CC.

Using the AT-Clearing Center requires the installation of the german ProCust software modules.

Clearing Center

Exchange Electronic Data

Data exchange

You want to exchange electronic data? There are many areas where this need occurs.

Data can be exchanged between

• Forwarders and their customers (purchase order, booking, ...)
• Forwarders and airlines
• Forwarders and customs
• Forwarders and agents
• Forwarder and service providers (e.g. RSI)
• Forwarder and their partners (other forwarders)

Specify data

To exchange data, you need to specify a data or file format. This format describes the way the data/file is structured. There are many different formats, some are (or just seem to be) common standards, while others are defined according to a special agreement between two parties.

Here are some existing formats

• UN EDIFACT (several message types for different purposes: IFTSTA, IFCSUM, IFTMCS, ...)
• CargoIMP (FWB, FSU, FSA, FSR, FFR, FFA, FNA, FMA)
• Customs Proprietary (US customs, German customs, ...)

Transport data

In addition to the file format, the data must be transported from A to B. There exist a number of ways to transport data and these are referred to as protocols.

Some examples of protocols are

• SMTP (Internet Email)
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
• X.400

Summary

To sum up, there are three areas which are vital for data exchange

Areas

• the purpose of the data exchange
• the data or file formats to be used in the data exchange
• the transport protocols to be used in the data exchange

Know How

If you need to exchange data with more than one party, you may have to support multiple data formats and multiple transport mechanisms. This would require that you have the Know How in all these fields in order to realize your project. Finally, once up and running, successful data exchange requires continuous attention and further Know How for the following reasons:

Reasons

• Data (file) formats change
• Transport methods change
• Error tracing (if message are lost; time lags, ...)

The RSI Clearing Center operates to address all the above requirements.

As you have seen in the last section, data exchange is more than just moving something from A to B, it's a complicated process and RSI wants to make this process as simple as possible for you.

RSI has more than 10 years experience in data exchange, so you will benefit from our Know How and we will make data exchange easier for you.

Work-flow

In practice it works as follows: "data is send via the RSI Clearing Center."

You benefit because

• you only have to support one data format
• you only have to support your preferred transport protocol
• you don't need to worry if the recipients data format or transport method changes
• you minimize your own error tracing

Services

The services RSI provides to you are:

Services

• Conversion of your data to a suitable format for the recipient
• Error tracing
• Statistics
• Automatic update of data format due to version changes.

Further services

Once you start sending data via the RSI Clearing Center you benefit from further services which until recently were only available to our customers. These services include data conversion which enables you to use our existing services and connections, such as:

Data Conversion

• Internet Tracking and Tracing
• Customs Proprietary (US customs, German customs (Atlas), ...)
• CargoIMP

Tracking and Tracing

In addition to the possibility of requesting status information from the shipment tracking facility integrated within Procars, Riege Software International offers an interactive tracking and shipment information request facility via the Internet as an additional service. Also available is a booking module for the Internet, a module for shipment status entry on the worldwide web (e. g. via your agents) and an Internet based Purchase Order System.

ProCost

Job Costing Module

For every shipment a cost control record is generated at the moment the shipment is registered. Each new invoice or credit note as well as accruals created for the shipment will instantly update this cost control record.

An accounting and a statistical overview are available to review full voucher history, actual P/L status with detailed active voucher overview, including accruals on both levels.

Automatic breakdown of master charges and costs to the related houses is a standard function that can be activated/deactivated via a setting in the master shipment-group set-up. The breakdown key can be charge related. Accruals generated on master level will be held until balanced and the creditor invoice is processed.

Key Features

• Booking of incoming vouchers
