How am I supported in the consolidation process?

Export

(FRA and HAM) FAIR@Link helps with the entire consolidation process, from receiving goods at the freight forwarder's gateway to delivering shipments to the ground handling agent. While scanning the shipment at receiving, a check of target vs. actual goods data can be made by comparing the scanned actual data with the target data from the House AWB. Damage is documented with photos, stored in FAIR@Link and, if applicable, sent to the eFile of the forwarder. If the BUP manifests, i.e. the construction plans for the MAWB, are available electronically, the gateway can confirm the finalization of the shipments to the forwarder - supplemented by photos.

Import

(FRA) If the data from the House AWBs (HAWB), the summary declaration (SumA), and the check manifest match up correctly, FAIR@Link can automate deconsolidation. In case of discrepancies, or if the check manifest is only available in paper form, the forwarder or their handling agent can also manually initiate the automated deconsolidation with FAIR@Link. Subsequently, the custody certificate per HAWB is automatically sent by e-mail to the authorized parties - e.g., the responsible location. This results in considerable time savings in customs clearance and shorter processing times.

Customs

How can I make a customs declaration?

With FAIR@Link, the import and export customs processes at the airport can be speeded up and in some cases even automated. The main requirement is that the FAIR@Link user is already working with customs software that is certified for ATLAS processing (e.g., ZODIAK GE).

Export

AES presentation (FRA and HAM):
With FAIR@Link, the customs process can be automated to the greatest extent possible. Truckers can use the FAIR@Link app to trigger AES presentation upon arrival at the customs exit geofence. Of course, the forwarder also has the option of starting the process manually via his own customs system with the "expected at exit" function. In Frankfurt, the AES presentation can also be initiated by the Fraport license plate recognition system when entering Cargo City Süd.

Summary declaration and change of depositary (FRA):
With the status message that the aircraft has landed and the shipment has been summarized by the ground handling agent (summary declaration “SumA”), the printout of the handover certificate and the change of depositary can be automatically initiated via FAIR@Link. The system takes into account the time frame within which the transfer to the new depositary location must take place.

Customs application before presentation (FRA):
One additional customs process, the customs application before presentation (ZvG), can automate the import presentation and thus make it considerably faster with via FAIR@Link.

Monitoring

How can I monitor processes ?

FAIR@Link enables real-time monitoring of your own processes along the entire supply chain, with the aim of immediately detecting discrepancies or negative developments. The status information can also be used to automatically trigger subsequent process steps within the company and/or at business partners and authorities (customs).

Export

Tracking (FRA and HAM):
With the Forecast function, the forwarding agent sends the AWB data with further shipment information to FAIR@Link. This data forms the basis for the TPA and is also required for slot booking. The FAIR@Link app can be used to determine the geo-positions for incoming trucks and thus determine whether the vehicles will arrive punctually at the handling agent. The handling agent's processing is also extremely transparent, as the forwarding agent can receive live information (time stamp) on all steps. The export monitoring process concludes when the check-in message comes from the handling agent.

Import

Tracking (FRA):
Using the Forecast function, the freight forwarder sends a list of expected shipments to FAIR@Link as early as possible, providing the AWBs and further information. FAIR@Link also receives the flight manifest data (FFM data), including the AWBs for all shipments on board, from the airlines as soon as loading at the departure airport is completed. The AWB data is the key which FAIR@Link uses to create an association with the relevant FFM to inform the forwarder of the flight status, cargo and loading structure prior to arrival. With the status information that the aircraft has landed, the customs and pick-up processes can be organized, including the slot booking. On the import dashboard, the handling agent's time stamp makes the handling process at the door transparent and traceable for the forwarder.

Security

How is the topic of security addressed ?

Security is of great importance in air freight transport worldwide. This is demonstrated by the ever-increasing amount of regulations and statutory provisions.

Export

EU database (FRA and HAM):
FAIR@Link supports all participants by integrating the EU database. As soon as the forwarder marks the shipment as "secured" on the TPA, FAIR@Link automatically checks in the EU database whether it has a valid RegB status.

Driver database (HAM):
Using the driver database, the identification of the driver is made faster and easier. FAIR@Link checks whether the driver has the necessary aviation safety training and if it is still valid. This review is documented in accordance with data protection regulations.

Import

Delivery order (FRA):
Using FAIR@Link, the forwarder can print out their own delivery order. FAIR@Link has thus replaced the previously paper-based process in which the freight forwarder had to go to the ground handling agent upon arrival of the goods in order to get the pick-up authorization, and then stamp it in their own office before the paper form could be given to the driver for pick-up.

Statistics

Can I compile statistics?

(FRA and HAM)

FAIR@Link keeps all time stamps from the arrival of the driver through to the take-off notification, and these form the basis for compiling personalized statistics. For example, these can be sent as raw data to customers' BI systems. This enables freight forwarders in particular to create detailed and far-reaching statistics on their import and export processes.

What are my integration options ?

(FRA and HAM)
You can integrate FAIR@Link into your in-house IT infrastructure. It’s easy to determine the exact level of data and process integration to be implemented. Internal processes can be optimized, and at the same time communication gaps with customs and all others involved in the process can be filled in. In addition, the web application and the mobile app offer comprehensive access options to fit your needs.
