December 19, 2019: The logistics IT solutions provider, Kale Logistics Solutions developed a new air cargo community system (ACS) for Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the United States along with the airport airfreight community.
Headquartered in Mumbai, Kale’s ACS is a digital platform to help all stakeholders including customs, shippers, airlines, trucking companies, customs brokers, freight forwarders and cargo handlers to electronically communicate.
