Cargo Community Network Targets Growth in Airfreight Business

Singapore based Cargo Community Network (CCN), Asia-Pacific’s leading provider of internet portal services to the airfreight industry, is aiming for a major expansion of its global business following the launch of CCNhub in Asia. The new, highly advanced CCNhub portal is already operational in Vietnam and destined to be introduced across the entire region over the next three months. CCN has previously experienced outstanding success with the Ezycargo internet portal and established itself as the market leader across the Asia-Pacific region over the past three years. CCN handled almost two million e-bookings in 2005, more than any other cargo portal.

 

The new CCNhub is a secure, carrier neutral portal that offers a comprehensive range of services to the airfreight community. CCNhub will dramatically cut costs for the industry players and provide a major step forward in the way they can make allotment and free sales bookings, review flight schedules, as well as track and trace the progress of their shipments.

 

CCN offers the world’s only cargo portal enabled to handle e-invoicing & payment, as well as distributing neutral waybills electronically. CCN is a Cargo 2000 accredited vendor for Common Data Management Platform requirements. CCN is currently connected to more than 20 major international and regional airlines, with the number set to increase as the new system comes online. CCN already has one of the largest airline customer bases subscribing to its existing services.

 

“In the highly competitive international airfreight market, CCN recognises the critical importance of remaining constantly focused on customer needs, improving service reliability and expanding its global reach. The launch of the new CCNhub portal represents the company’s relentless focus on improving performance in these key areas and I am confident that this will contribute significantly to our successful future expansion.” said, Mr Teow Boon Ling, General Manager, CCN.

 

CCN was launched in 1991 with the original Spectrum system matching customer requirements for a cost effective and simple airfreight booking system. The significantly enhanced web enabled Ezycargo version was first launched in 2003. CCN is headquartered in Singapore and has operations in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.
