The Mail product from Qatar Airways Cargo has been relaunched with 100 percent electronic data interchange (EDI) functionality.
The cargo carrier said that more than 110 of its stations had implemented EDI, and each station has been given a handheld Android scanner.
“Traditionally serving one customer per origin based on their unique post office identification (IMPC) code, the carrier’s Mail product can now cater to the requirements of targeted agents across the network,” said Qatar Airways Cargo.
“This allows Qatar Airways Cargo to accept mail shipments from multiple customers from the same origin, regardless of the IMPC code used.”
Customers of the carrier can track their shipments in real time as they move through the shipping process.
With the use of the technologies in use, Qatar Airways Cargo is able to communicate Response to Documents International Transport (RESDIT) recommendations for significant checkpoints throughout a mailbag’s voyage.
As part of the relaunch, the product offers a selection of customizable services for Express Mail, Priority Mail, Standard Mail, and Empty Mail Receptacles, which are designed for both conventional and hybrid postal modes.
The Mail product complies with the rules established by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
