The Netherlands' Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has launched the upgraded version of its Port Community System (PCS) after four years’ of collaborative development with Cargonaut.
The PCS is a single tech platform for information and data exchange between all internal cargo stakeholders at Schiphol and external authorities such as Customs.
The improvements deliver faster data processing, greater transparency and full compliance with the latest IATA standards and guidelines.
Joost van Doesburg, head of Cargo Schiphol said: “ The PCS is fully future-proofed and able to integrate upcoming tech as it evolves.
"Later this year, for example, the Secure Import System is scheduled for implementation. The system informs forwarders when an import shipment is ready for collection by an air cargo handler, at the same time cross referencing data to improve security.
"Work is also under way on the Truck Visited Management System to significantly improve and streamline waiting times for cargo deliveries and collections."
