e-freight@Singapore
IDA, in partnership with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore ("CAAS"), issued a Call-for-Collaboration ("CFC") to invite companies to integrate key Info-communications & Technology ("ICT") systems, business processes and data to adopt paperless air freight processing and improve industry capabilities.
Companies may form consortia which comprise a combination of companies including, but not limited to shippers, consignees, freight forwarders, logistics service providers, ground handling agents, airlines, and ICT service providers offering logistics solutions.
As a result of the CFC, three consortia were selected in February 2012 to develop ICT solutions. The three consortia, comprising of 37 companies, included shippers, freight forwarders and ICT vendors. In June 2013, the fourth consortium was awarded to give the industry an additional option when it comes to choosing the right solution.
