CORVI | Freight, Shipping & Import-Export Management System
• Are you spending too much of your time in shipment
planning, finding out the pending activities and getting
reports instead of focusing on core business issues?
• Does your system prevent errors in billing?
• Are you able to streamline internal and external
communication?
• Does your present system allow retrieval of an external
document pertaining to a job at a later stage?
NEED FOR AN INTELLIGENT FREIGHT SYSTEM
Freight & Shipping Logistics comprises of highly fragmented
Logistics processes. Multiple levels of stakeholder intervention are
inevitable and there are many challenges. It is often constrained
by an abundance of paperwork and redundant operating
procedures. Inability to exchange information seamlessly between
forwarders, shippers, custom brokers, carriers, airport/port
terminals, overseas agents and consignees aggravates the
situation. This builds up operating inefficiencies and acts as a
roadblock to proactive and informed decision making.

CAPELLA| Web-based Container Freight Station (CFS) / Inland Container Depot (ICD) Management System
• Do you have difficulty in locating shipments and containers in your Container Freight Station?
• Do you find long queues at your CFS/ICD gates?
• Do you get angry calls from customers reporting short-landing or damages?
• Do you struggle in getting the visibility of container yards and warehouses within your CFS/ICD?
NEED FOR A CFS/ICD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Container Freight Stations (CFS) and Inland Container Depots
(ICD) are complex operations, involving intricate flow of
information and goods between multiple stakeholders. These are
further complicated due to manual processes which lead to typical
procedural hassles, painfully slow movement of cargo and
containers, and quite often inaccuracies in planning and actual
actions.
And amidst this inefficiency, CFS/ICD operations need to cater to
increasing customer demands and expectations.

PYXIS | Web-based Warehouse & Distribution Management System
Warehouses are a crucial part of the supply chain. They ensure
the smooth movement of goods and help maintain productivity
levels for an organization. Warehouse & Distribution Management
Systems (WDMS) are essential to control the movement and
storage of materials within a warehouse and to process the
associated transactions.
The new age warehouses require an application which is
developed factoring the ground realities of a warehouse,
complexities of the processes and skill sets of those handling the
cargo. The requirement is for a system which provides real time
visibility, is easy to interface and is designed mapped to industry
benchmarked processes. In the global economy, warehouses are
smaller initially, but often expand with the growth in the business.
This entails a system that is rapidly scalable and readily
configurable to suit individual business needs. This can be
achieved with next-generation systems which are both web-based
and mobile enabled.
PYXIS : THE BEST FIT SOLUTION FOR LOGISTICS
SERVICE PROVIDERS & USERS
PYXIS helps to manage all the warehouse activities starting from
the arrival of cargo, storage, location management and dispatch. It
is a readily configurable system in which the user can define the
location rules, package types, picking rules, shipment procedures,
packaging techniques and all other significant details regarding
warehouse operations. It optimizes these tasks based on detailed
algorithmic rule engines. It enables manufacturers, distributors
and retailers to more effectively optimize their day-to-day
warehouse activities, improve space utilization, lower their
inventory carrying costs and boost manpower productivity, thereby
improving the bottom line.

HELIOS| Web-based Transportation & Fleet Management System
Transport operators today need to run hyper efficient delivery
networks to ensure business profitability. Transporters/ Fleet
owners with a large number of fleet need to service their network
efficiently, timely and with adequate control on placement &
movement of fleet vehicles. This becomes increasingly
challenging given expensive fuel and relentless price pressure
from customers and competition.
Any idling or under utilization of resources can be a significant
expense to the transporters/ fleet owners. The need of the hour
is to get real time control on costs, leverage all cargo placement
opportunities and offer visibility to customers. This is where
transportation companies need a modern IT system to cater to
all functions of their organization in an integrated manner.
HELIOS: THE BEST FIT SOLUTION FOR 3PLs,
MANUFACTURERS, FLEET OWNERS &
OPERATORS
HELIOS is a web-based transportation & fleet management
system comprising of two modules- HELIOS TRANS & HELIOS
FLEET.

GALAXY| Web-based Airport Cargo Management System
• Are you losing money in excessive documentation, data entry
errors and incorrect invoicing?
• Are you able to do EDI with Airlines ?
• Do you often struggle to meet SLAs with your airline
customers?
• Are there long queues at your billing counters?
• Are your customers demanding to know the exact status of their
cargo by the minute?
Any idling or under utilization of resources can be a significant

opportunities and offer visibility to customers. This is where
transportation companies need a modern IT system to cater to
all functions of their organization in an integrated manner.
NEED FOR A WEB - BASED AIRPORT CARGO
MANAGEMENT SOLUTION
The volume of air cargo being moved globally is ever increasing
and airports find it difficult to keep pace with adequate expansion
in terms of infrastructure, man-power and level of automation.
Cargo terminal operations are interdependent upon several
stakeholders like ground handlers, airlines, customs, freight
forwarders / cargo agents and banks. Each of these stakeholders
is using disparate IT systems which do not communicate with each
other, leading to multiple data entry points, complex paperwork,
manual errors, increased cargo processing time, non-compliance,
loss of revenue and goodwill.

UPLIFT | Cargo Community Platform
The Logistics supply chain entities work round the clock to move
the cargo safely and on time. However, along with movement of
cargo, there is a lot of complex documentation & data that gets
exchanged between the entities. A study indicates that the
shipment data gets re-entered in the supply chain at least 6 times
by various stakeholders, bringing in inefficiency, delays, penalties
and lack of shipment visibility, thereby resulting in higher cost of
logistics.
UPLIFT - A UNIVERSAL PLATFORM FOR LOGISTICS
& INTEGRATED FREIGHT TRANSPORT
UPLIFT is a pioneering initiative in creating a Cargo Community
Platform which enables Freight Forwarding (FF) and Custom
House Agent (CHA) /Customs Broker (CB) organizations to
electronically communicate within themselves and with other
stakeholders like Shippers, Consignee, Airports, Seaports,
Airlines, Transporters and Customs amongst others.
UPLIFT eliminates the manual operations, paperwork, redundant
data entry and brings in the much needed shipment visibility
across the value chain.

UPLIFT| Customs Clearance Management (CCM)
The role of Custom House Agent (CHA) /Customs Broker (CB) has
evolved in the past decade from Customs document filing to
connecting with multiple trade partners like Airline, Shipping Line,
Airports, Container Depots, Government Authorities and
Transporters amongst others. The CB needs to adhere to local
Custom rules and regulations while facing complex business
communications and operational challenges.
UPLIFT Customs Clearance Management (CCM) helps CBs
achieve higher degree of efficiency in service and at reduced
operational costs. UPLIFT CCM facilitates automated filing in
compliance with Customs system. The CCM is further segregated
into Exports & Imports modules as per business function and
Regulatory / Customs compliance.

UPLIFT| Airport Cargo Community System (ACS)
Airports play a pivotal role in the movement of goods by air. While
improving cargo handling efficiencies at the airports through
automation is important, it is even more crucial to provide better
services to Airport customers. As an Airport - GHA (Ground
Handling Agent) or an Airport- Cargo Terminal Operator
(CTO), now there are increased pressures towards complying with
global security regulations such as ENS/AMS programs. These
advance information requirements mean that the Airport
GHA/CTO needs to get the shipment information in advance,
preferably electronically from the forwarders.
NEED FOR AN AIRPORT CARGO COMMUNITY
SYSTEM (ACS)
An electronic collaboration platform – an Airport Cargo
Community System – can help all stakeholders to electronically
communicate within themselves and with other stakeholders like
Airlines, Customs House Agents, Customs, Banks and GHAs. It
can facilitate the movement of goods and information at the airport
and aid in digital interactions in conformance to initiatives around
e-freight, e-AWB and e-CSD.

UPLIFT| e-Certificate of Origin (e-CoO)
A Certificate of Origin (CoO) is a document used in international
trade for determining the origin of a product. This is important
because it is a key basis for applying tariff and other important
criteria for export shipment. Certificate of Origin is mandatory to
validate goods for Export to most countries.
The generation & processing of a CoO is often manual and
involves data entry, verification and approval of the document. At
present, a lot of time & cost efforts are spent in entering the data,
printing the documents and travelling to the office of a Chamber of
Commerce. What the industry stakeholders require is a facility that
enables online filing of CoO that gets transmitted electronically
between all entities involved in the process.

CODEX | Container Digital Exchange
Many Container Supply Chains continue to rely on manual or
semi-automated processes resulting in limited cargo visibility as it
moves from Container Depot (CFS/ICD) to Port and vice-versa.
The original shipment information (Commercial Invoice / Packing
List) which has most of the data to create subsequent documents
is exchanged manually. The forwarder / Customs Broker has to
access multiple stakeholder systems viz. shipping line portals,
custodian portals, customs portal, bank portal etc. and re-enter the
shipment data multiple times which is time/resource consuming. A
lot of paper documents and multiple copies of the same are
required by multiple parties (e.g. around 120 copies of paper are
needed to export a container shipment).
NEED FOR CONTAINER DIGITAL EXCHANGE
The automation in the industry is diverse and at most ports there
is no single window EDI for the trade. This increases the possibility
of long queues at the port gate because of lack of Advance
shipment information. Due to lack of real-time data exchange
there is higher inventory in the supply chain and hence higher
logistics costs. Moreover, multiple regulatory authorities need
information that pre-exists on other documents. For the
government, the sources of trade data are in multiple systems
hence it is difficult to get accurate and timely information for policy
making.

HUBB | Global Cargo Exchange
• Are you relying on inefficient & expensive communication due to disparate IT Systems?
• Do you miss out on high volume opportunities due to non-availability of required information?
• Are you losing the competitive edge due to errors, delays and additional costs?
NEED FOR THE HUBB PLATFORM
Accurate communication and adequate information flow plays a
pivotal role in worldwide logistics. However, an ever changing
market scenario has left small and medium sized freight forwarder
in the middle of myriad challenges such as- increasing global
competition, greater customer expectations and demand from
global trade for constant communication & updates. Moreover,
their current business model is ineffective in dealing with complex
and duplicate processes involved in transfer of each shipment.
Agents around the world use disparate IT systems and programs
to communicate store and translate data, both internally and
externally. These systems vary in ability and sophistication but
have one common problem-they cannot communicate effectively
with other agents using different systems. To communicate with
their own branches and external trade partners independent
forwarders have to rely on telephone, faxes or e-mails. This
process is not only expensive and time consuming, but also prone
to human errors that result in delays, additional costs and
customer dissatisfaction.
