ALOHA AIRLINES SIGNS
5-YEAR PACT FOR CARGO DATA MANAGEMENT'S WEB-BASED
CARGO SYSTEM Aloha
Airlines, Inc., will install and implement Cargo
Data Management's browser-based booking, tracking,
and revenue accounting system to manage its air
cargo operations. The two companies announced today
that they have signed a five-year contract for the
hosted cargo system. Aloha Airlines is the leading
inter-island cargo carrier in Hawaii, operating out
of Honolulu International Airport and serving the
Hawaiian Islands as well as several locations on
the U.S. mainland. Dallas-based Cargo Data
Management is an industry leader in developing
integrated cargo systems. Aloha Airlines will use Cargo
Data Management's browser-based cargo reservation
and tracking system and its cargo revenue
accounting system. As part of the hosted service,
Cargo Data Management is managing all of Aloha
Airlines' data on an Oracle 10G database, running
on a Linux operating system, at Cargo Data
Management's hosting facility in Dallas. "The browser-based booking and
tracking system is available to all of Aloha's
employees and general sales agents who book and
track freight on the Aloha system," explained
Garner McNett, president of Cargo Data Management.
"Anywhere there is an Internet connection, an Aloha
employee or agent can use this system." With the system, Aloha and its
cargo shipping customers can track their freight
through a secure website, following each stage of
its movement until it is delivered to the
consignee. Aloha's employees at any of the
carrier's sales offices and general sales agent
sites can access complete account information and
marketing reports via the website. Secure billing information is
available to each Aloha customer on the website,
along with their final invoice, which they can
download and print if they choose. This data is
available at the moment the invoice is prepared and
allows Aloha's forwarder clients to accelerate
their own billings to their customers. A special feature of the Cargo
Data Management system enables Aloha's management
to track cargo bookings and revenue throughout the
system on a real-time basis. About Cargo Data Management
