Working with sanctions screening providers e2open and Pandora Intelligence, Cargospot now integrates compliance into airline or handlers’ workflows.
CHAMP Cargosystems has unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in air cargo compliance with the launch of its new sanctions interface service within Cargospot.
This interface, launched with sanctions screening partners e2open and Pandora Intelligence, seamlessly integrates third-party screening results into an airline or handler's operational workflow, reducing manual work while ensuring higher levels of compliance with ever-changing international regulations.
The sheer volume and dynamic nature of global regulations, combined with the severe penalties for non-compliance, have led some airlines to engage with third-party screening providers.
Screening partners maintain and scrutinize extensive watch lists of goods, countries, organizations, and individuals used by intelligence and law enforcement agencies – a traditionally manual and laborious process. They specialize in this critical area of compliance and are innovating and using AI to reduce the time and cost of keeping pace with the constant changes in these watch lists.
CHAMP’s cargo management system, Cargospot, can now send air waybills to screening providers based on rules including destination and air waybill prefix, to ensure that the right shipments are always screened.
The results are then displayed in Cargospot with clear color-coded flags. Those shipments that are at risk can be automatically put on hold and flagged for flight controllers to review screening results before loading to a flight.
Christopher Shawdon, Head of Business Development at CHAMP comments that this latest innovation marks a significant leap forward in air cargo compliance, providing airlines and handlers with the tools they need to streamline operations, mitigate risks, and ensure adherence to international regulations. It integrates with Cargospot but can also be invoked from TRAXON cargoHUB.
