Wipro Limited, a leading technology services and consulting company, has been selected by Menzies Aviation, the world’s largest aviation services company, to transform its air cargo management services.

The partnership will help fortify Menzies’ position as the leading cargo handler in the market, enabling the company to grow its services and use of new technologies.

It will also accelerate competitiveness while keeping customers, partners, employees, and the environment at the center of this transformation.

Wipro’s revolutionary cargo handling product was architected using cloud-native technologies and will address all of Menzies’ needs, as well as those of the broader air cargo industry.

It was developed to improve business efficiencies, enhance employee experience and customer service through increased automation, and provide critical business insights with best-in-class security.

This product will provide greater visibility of cargo location to both Menzies and its customers, support scanning technology for cargo and documentation, and integrate directly with customers’ operating systems, resulting in increased transparency and real-time-tracking.

It will also enable new technologies developed for warehouses of the future including robotics, autonomous vehicles and true paperless environments.
