In the process of moving cargo, many critical data needs to be shared, exchanged and facilitated among the key stakeholders quickly and accurately. 

We manage all data exchanges and translation needs for our customers, whether in IATA industry formats; CargoIMP; Cargo XML; or proprietary formats so that we take the burden out of them in collaborating with their business partners and authorities.  Our data exchanges solution includes the following non-exhaustive list: FFR/FFA, FWB, FHL, FSU, FNA, FMA, FBL, FFM and more.

To achieve higher efficiencies, we re-use data from source. To this end, we facilitate host-to-host integration with customers who already generate data on their own systems through common connections like FTP, SMTP, MQ, Web Services and API.  This eliminates duplicate data entries leading to higher data accuracy, greater convenience that translates to cost savings. Critical responses and information e.g. acknowledgement, error replies and freight statuses, can also be sent to their internal system so that these data will be distributed easily within the organization.

For customers who prefer to use software as a service, we also provide solutions to handle the messaging needs from end-to-end, e.g. FWB creation through our messaging portal; FWB transmission to partner; FWB response handling; and MAWB printing.

Freight Status Updates & Freight Flight Manifest Application

Perfect for airline or ground handling agents who need a hassle-free way to generate and transmit Freight Flight Manifest (FFM) and Freight Status Update (FSU) data.  Our FSU/FFM application requires minimal data-entry and editing, drawing information from booklist and manifest messages received from upstream processes.

eAWB (FWB) and e-Consol Manifest (FHL)

To facilitate operational processes between airlines, agents and ground handling agents, CCNhub allows users to prepare electronic master air waybill data (FWB) for cargo handling across the different stakeholders in the shipment process.

As more countries implement pre-custom requirements, CCNhub also allows users to send electronic consol manifest (FHL) to relevant authorities such as airlines and local customs authorities for pre-custom clearance, with increased data accuracy and minimal clearance delay for your shipments.

Our multi-carrier e-booking portal eliminates the need for forwarder to query and transact with each and every airline separately. This portal is fully integrated with related and downstream functions e.g. AWB stock management, flight schedule and availability query, and FWB/FHL creation and transmission.

Here are some of the key features:

  • Send flight schedules and availability requests to multiple carriers
  • Access relevant flight information and schedules for quick and direct booking
  • Reserve and manage air freight bookings at your convenience
  • Make multiple bookings of cargo space on different airlines and flights
  • Import in-house bookings with spreadsheet compatibility
  • Manage multiple cargo bookings with automated information input

Airlines and agents can now effortlessly request and assign neutral Air Waybill stocks through digitalisation, with automatic updating upon a booked shipment. The air waybill stock records can then be created, printed and sent to airlines.

With this, airlines do not need to worry that the AWB no. will be used more than once or used by agents who are not assigned.

With further digitalisation in the air freight industry, we have incorporated eAWB and eFreight processes into our solutions. Especially for eFreight, we have extended our data@source concept to include shippers and this further improves productivity in the end-to-end process. Talk about cost savings and higher efficiency!

Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Fully supports industry eAWB processes e.g. enhanced FWB validations and distribution; cargo receipts
  • Shipper’s data at source and re-use for downline processes e.g. preparation of FWB, local customs permits and more
  • Business process management for eFreight enhancing visibility and transparency among all stakeholders.

Forget the tedious manual record-keeping. With CCN’s Cool Chain application, airlines and ground handling agents can leverage on the system to monitor timings between key milestones for cool-chain shipments relative to pre-defined KPIs. Periodic KPI reports can also be generated for performance review and improvements.

Pre-departure and Pre-arrival security declarations are becoming an integral part of the shipment process. CCN is committed to support forwarders, airlines and ground handlers in managing their compliance needs wherever their shipments are delivered to, reducing worries on penalties and shipment delays.
We know it is tedious to monitor all the shipments destined for various destinations with differing declaration requirements. To simplify monitoring, all security & screening declarations regardless of Customs Territories are presented on an Integrated Customs Dashboard.

CCN’s pre-departure screening suite currently includes US ACAS (Air Cargo Advance Screening).  Key features include:

  • Direct filing to CBP and TSA
  • Active monitoring of airline’s flights and booking records
  • Online monitoring to check clearance status
  • Proactive monitoring for “Hold” shipments

Coming soon will include EU PRECISE (Pre-loading Consignment Information for Secure Entry), UK PREDICT (Pre-Departure Information for Cargo Targeting); and Canada PACT (Pre-load Air Cargo Targeting).

Our sanction screening application helps you monitor shipments through the screening of shippers and consignees against sanctions databases, reducing ambiguity and risks through these key features:

  • Screening of shippers and consignees
  • Get notification alerts
  • Allows users to perform resolution
  • Audit Log
  • Reports

Tradenet and Cargo Manifest Declarations (For Singapore only)

We are also connected to Singapore Customs for Tradenet Permit declarations for all permits including Certificate of Origin (COO) applications.  Besides the frontend interface for data entry, data can be pre-populated with data reuse from shippers’ documents e.g. invoice, packing list and others, in EDI, pdf or other proprietary formats.

Our Tradenet application is fully integrated with Air Manifest filing (CMD) for auto-filing of CMDs for approved permits.  You can also enjoy seamless data integration through data reuse for Tradenet declarations.  Subscribe now to enjoy this straight-through single process for compliance with Singapore Customs.

Our pre-arrival declaration solution covers more than 50 countries simplifying the global customs solution for forwarders and airlines.  We leverage on re-using data to minimize duplicate entries and improve data accuracy, hence minimizing shipment delays and penalties. Key features include:

  • Managing submissions based on flight timings and customs’ requirements
  • Re-using common messages like FFM, FWB and FHL
  • Monitoring customs replies

The computation logic is maintained in the Rate Engine component within the Auto Rating application. Billing Reports and Costing Reports by a flight date range are also available.

CCN provides live visibility on payment information for all FWBs with a time-saving tool to verify airline invoices for every shipment. Key features include:

  • Rates AWBs and presents all accounting details to the Master Forwarder as soon as FWBs are sent to airlines, including those from their co-loaders.
  • Provides for all rate types including ad-hoc, blocked space, contract and TACT rates leveraging on CCN’s rating engine
  • Supports EPIC, CASS, and other airlines’ proprietary invoice formats

Apart from our standard modes of payment, our customers can now utilize another mode to pay for subscription fees or transactions (where applicable) for our applications via the stored value function.

The EPIC system digitalises the entire payment process, starting with the generation of invoices for any activities (not limited to freight) by airlines to cargo agents, and cargo agents accessing the invoices and subsequently affecting payments to airlines. As a result, you are able to enjoy on-time receiving and immaculate handling of invoices, shorter billing cycles and improved efficiency and productivity
