Cargo Handling System

The proposed system will have the following functionalities: 1. User Management: To manage the profile of all users – cargo attendants, customers, accountants, management staff and administrators 2. Security Management: To manage user login and authentication 3. Location Management: To manage cargo originations and destinations 4. Flight Management: To manage flights and flight information 5. Cargo Management: To manage and track consignments 6. Tariff Management: To manage rates and tariffs 7. Notification Module: To send out 2D barcodes via WAP to recipients of the consignment. Cargo attendants at destinations will be able to scan the barcode and verify air waybill information. 8. Messaging Module: To handle web service and API calls to third party systems or the mobile app. 9. Reports Module: To generate report based on the transaction carried out for each posting from the transaction, and also for the manifest. The Cargo Management System will be web based and optimized for major browser types (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari) as well as for mobile devices (Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Android and iOS). The project also includes the design of a Blackberry App that will allow cargo attendants to process, manage and view consignments as well as administrators to generate and view dynamic/customized reports. Cargo attendants would be able to log on to the app on their Blackberry devices and process air waybills (outbound attendants) as well as view existing transactions (inbound attendants). The mobile app will interface with the enterprise system and update relevant databases. In addition, they system will generate a barcode and send to the shipper and receiver of the consignment.
