Aloha Air Cargo and Northern Air Cargo have selected cloud-based Unisys systems to replace their legacy software.
Northern Air Cargo is based in Anchorage, Alaska, and Aloha Air Cargo is based in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Both are operating companies within Anchorage-based Northern Aviation Services, a new client for Unisys.
Unisys Logistics Management System (LMS) will manage their domestic and international cargo services. The carriers are also new clients for the Unisys Cargo Revenue Accounting (CRA) system.
Under the long-term, multi-year contract with Northern Aviation Services, Unisys will help the carriers migrate from their respective systems into a single-view, cloud-based solution.
Unisys said that the cloud service approach means that the new system should be operational “within a few months”, adding: “That speed dramatically reduces the cost and impact of change to the carriers, allowing them to benefit from the new functionality fast.”
Christopher Shawdon, vice president, logistics solutions for Unisys, said that Aloha Air Cargo and Northern Air Cargo will benefit from “the many functionality updates provided at no extra charge through the Unisys Cargo User Group community model”.
Last year, Unisys applied some sixty five such updates for all its cloud cargo system clients.
