ONE Record, the years-old IATA initiative, is finally gaining traction as the industry realises it needs \u201cfully digitised documentation\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lufthansa Cargo has been among the first to champion \u2013 and develop \u2013 ONE Record, which was essentially just an idea without a structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a permanent uphill battle for years to convince all parties in the supply chain,\u201d explained Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, Lufthansa Cargo\u2019s VP global fulfilment management.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision is that we want to decouple the documentation and information flow from physical handling, similar to the passenger business. So what do we need? We need a fully digitised documentation acceptance with all documents.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lufthansa Cargo was among the first to gain 100% e-AWBs; it introduced a financial stick to help incentivise partners \u2013 but, as Dr Breithaupt pointed out at the Air Cargo Handling & Logistics conference in Athens last week, \u201cthere are a lot of other documents\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to penetrate or push forward the use of other documents, and we have to think about other documents to be digitised.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only solution we see at the moment is ONE Record. We have to completely overcome the old messaging system. This messaging system was developed by our grandparents 50 years ago, and it\u2019s based on textual transmission of data. And on that level we only have messages for three documents, the house air waybill and air waybill, the dangerous goods declaration and the consignment security.<\/p>\n

\"ONE<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had working groups for years to jointly agree on certain messaging standards, but this won\u2019t lead to success in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Breithaupt explained that ONE Record was \u201clike surfing the internet\u201d. He explained that Lufthansa\u2019s system runs on URL links which direct you to the different stakeholders\u2019 systems, which eventually show the piece level number.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now we have a big change, for the first time. Is there any standard of piece level number on the planet? No, for years we have been searching for that, because the piece level number has to be defined by the shipper, and IATA was not able to define a piece level number from a carrier\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it doesn\u2019t matter, because it\u2019s just a link. And the only rule to be followed is that this link is in accordance with the rules of the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phaedra Den Hertog, Awery\u2019s customer success project manager, said the traction of ONE Record was a \u201cmilestone\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe transparency will work. When ONE Record was launched, many years ago, I was really excited about it \u2013 and yet it has still not been established. We are getting there, but it needs the consent and support of everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, Awery won the CargoiQ prize at IATA\u2019s ONE Record Hackathon for its door-to-door airfreight planning and real-time updates for CargoiQ members.<\/p>\n

Awery\u2019s prototype open-source solution helps stakeholders plan via a web address, which Cargo iQ members and non-members can share with their unmonitored providers, enabling them to input shipment details through IATA\u2019s ONE Record data-sharing standard API.<\/p>\n
