Mercator helps automate Oman Air's cargo operations

Mercator deployed its internally developed Cargo application, SkyChain, in February 2011. The application provides a solution which supports the airline in increasing productivity levels through more effective management of its cargo sales, exporting, importing and transfer activities.
 
The implementation of SkyChain will provide Oman Air with the required automation for its end-to-end cargo operations. The system delivers process efficiencies, providing real time flight revenue monitoring, accurate shipment pricing and tracking, optimised flight capacity management and e-freight capabilities.
 
Mohamed Sherief Padiyath, Oman Air general manager commercial – cargo, said:   “Oman Air has been using Mercator’s financial solution, Rapid, for more than four years and we are excited about adding SkyChain into our business operations. We have been working with Mercator to implement the new system since July 2010 and, together, SkyChain and Rapid will play a strategic and important role in supporting the growth plans for our cargo operation. This part of our business saw a 99% growth in volume and a 238% growth in income over the course of 2010 and made an important contribution to Oman Air’s 51% increase in overall revenues. With the support of Mercator, we look forward to building on that outstanding success.”
