Jettainer and IBS Software Forge Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize ULD and Cargo Management Operations

Jettainer and IBS Software Forge Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize ULD Management

In a groundbreaking move set to reshape the air cargo landscape, ULD specialist Jettainer has announced a long-term strategic partnership with IBS Software. This collaboration aims to transform how airlines and ground handlers manage unit load devices (ULDs) and cargo operations, promising enhanced efficiency and data-driven decision-making.

At the heart of this partnership is the integration of Jettainer’s next-generation ULD management solution, JettWareNG, with IBS Software’s digital cargo management platforms, iCargo and iPartner Handling. Utilizing a state-of-the-art API interface, this integration will facilitate faster, more secure, and seamless data exchange across the air cargo ecosystem.

The anticipated benefits are significant. By embedding Jettainer’s intelligent ULD management solutions within IBS Software’s comprehensive cargo environment, customers can expect improved planning efficiency and streamlined workflows. Initial integration capabilities are expected to roll out by late 2025.

One of the standout features of this integration is the automation of ULD positioning. Move orders, which traditionally required manual execution, will soon be integrated directly into loading plans, reducing human error and enhancing operational speed. Additionally, the partnership will enhance process transparency, allowing for real-time tracking of ULD positions and availability through the ONE Record system.

“This partnership marks a key milestone in our digital strategy, dedicated to creating added value and efficiency for our customers,” said Dr. Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, CEO of Jettainer. “Integrating with the world’s most widespread air cargo handling system is a logical next step for us. Together, we aim to leverage digital opportunities to drive the transformation of ULD management and cargo operations.”

Radhesh Menon, head of cargo and logistics solutions at IBS Software, echoed this sentiment, stating, “This cooperation not only expands the IBS Software network but also enhances our commitment to developing advanced digital tools that empower airlines and ground handlers to thrive in a competitive market. By linking JettWareNG, iCargo, and iPartner Handling, we can provide customers with more and better data.”

As the air cargo industry continues to evolve, this strategic partnership between Jettainer and IBS Software is poised to set new standards in ULD management, paving the way for a more efficient and interconnected future.
