Aloha Airlines Signs 5-Year Pact for Cargo Data Management's Web-Based Cargo System.

DALLAS -- 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.
