BERLIN — Cargo 2000, the 82-member IATA specialist interest group, has finally moved beyond the turn of the millennium and changed its name officially to Cargo iQ. The group also recently embarked on its new Smart Data Project, which will add 110 million lines of performance data annually, enabling Cargo iQ \u00a0members to further improve their processes, said Ariaen Zimmerman, executive director of Cargo iQ.
\n\u201cCargo iQ members work together to measure success and continuously improve the value of airfreight for customers,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have successfully developed a system with clear milestones and unique route maps, and, thanks to our reliable monitoring, members can improve their services to customers.\u201d
\nEmirates SkyCargo also announced it has joined the organization as a full member for the first time after having had an observer on the board for the past year. \u201cHaving the biggest air cargo carrier on the planet amongst our new members just adds to that excitement,\u201d Zimmerman said.
\nMax Sauberschwarz, chairman of Cargo iQ\u2019s Membership Board, and Kuehne + Nagel\u2019s global head of carrier and gateway air logistics, said he was looking forward to the rebrand building positive momentum for the organization\u2019s work in the industry.
\n\u201cCargo iQ stands for collaboration, trust, quality, reliability, and innovation,\u201d he said. \u201cOur organization provides value for our members and for the air freight industry and we are excited to be progressing with the new name now, based on the achievements of the group to date.\u201d
\nNabil Sultan, divisional senior vice president for cargo, Emirates SkyCargo, said Cargo iQ dovetails nicely with SkyCargo\u2019s customer service goals. \u201cWe have been following CargoiQ\u2019s development over the years,\u201d he said, \u201cand are impressed with the solid initiatives it has developed, including the Master Operating Plan, which was conceptualized to support the implementation of quality management processes and metrics. With the rebranding of Cargo iQ and the launch of their strategic transformation program, we felt that the time was right to become a member.\u201d
\nCargo iQ measured 10 million airport-to-airport and 5.5 million door-to-door shipments in 2015, enabling members to take action to improve and standardize internal processes by identifying where quality was an issue. By speaking the same language, Cargo iQ members are also able to follow best practices and define common processes with industry partners in the supply chain.
\nThis year, the group will implement a new audit and certification scheme, focused on increasing international recognition for the Cargo iQ Quality Management System Certification.
\n \u201cThe air cargo industry continues to face enormous challenges, and in order to fulfil the value proposition shippers demand, we must focus much more on delivering quality,\u201d said Glyn Hughes, global head of cargo, IATA. \u201cCargo iQ\u2019s new approach to benchmarking and the use of smart data will help ensure we can indeed meet that objective.\u201d
