1 e-freight Roadmap December 2012

2 2 Background Through 2012, the GACAG e-commerce Task Force (ECTF) has conducted a review of the e-freight initiative The goal was to define a joint air cargo industry approach that GACAG members can consider adopting to drive implementation of paperless transportation processes in future This document presents the new e-freight Roadmap endorsed by each GACAG association memberships It will form the basis for managing e-freight as an air cargo initiative moving forward

3 Contents e-freight vision Principles to support the vision Three Pillar Roadmap Approach The Three Pillars Proposed Targets Roles Items identified for GACAG collaboration (to date) Governance Next steps ALSO IN APPENDIX: Current Status, Details on governance, Draft future scorecard, Scope of documents per Pillar, Details on targets (foot-notes), What this roadmap aims to deliver (Text) 3

4 4 GACAG e-freight vision Shipper Origin Forwarder Origin GHA Carrier Destination GHA Destination Forwarder Consignee Export Customs/ Regulators Import Customs/ Regulators Building and implementing an end-to-end paperless transportation process for the air cargo industry where paper documents are replaced with the exchange of electronic data

5 Principles (1/2) In support of the vision to build and implement an end-to-end paperless process for the air cargo industry, GACAG members have identified the following principles : The initiative shall: Aim to achieve data capture at source (to avoid re-keying) Adopt end-to-end supply chain vision: shipper to consignee (to enable single data capture) Encompass customs, security, transportation and other relevant documents that are part of the freight transportation process Include legal, regulatory, business and technology elements in the definition of paperless processes Rely on e-document standards and common business processes (defined in e-freight Operating Procedures e-fop) that are aligned with international standard setting bodies (WCO, UNCEFACT, ICAO, etc.) Allow paper to still be present by exception as required by local processes and based on electronic source data (print-on-demand) 5

6 Principles (2/2) In support of the vision to build and implement an end-to-end paperless process for the air cargo industry, GACAG members have identified the following principles : The initiative shall: Not rely on single industry technology platform: each participant remains responsible for managing their own data Use existing industry EDI infrastructure where sufficient, but upgrade where relevant Drive emergence of solutions that facilitate adoption by all parts of the supply chain, and all types of organizations (large and small) Identify workable migration paths from current paper based processes to paperless processes Define a roadmap towards 100% paperless that splits the vision in manageable components with specific deliverables over time 6

7 Three Pillars to drive towards the vision Shipper Origin Forwarder Origin GHA Carrier Destination GHA Consignee Destination Forwarder Pillar II Pillar III Export Customs/ Regulators Pillar I Import Customs/ Regulators Pillar I Establish Route Network (enabler) Engage regulators to create network where customs and regulatory environment allows for digitization of 12 core industry docs* Pillar II Implement Paperless airport-to-airport Digitize core transport docs: Air Waybill, House Manifest, Consignment Security Dec. (CSD), Flight Manifest Goal: Paperless acceptance and delivery of freight, airport to airport. Pillar III Implement Paperless door-to-door Digitize core commercial docs (invoice/packing list/hawb) and Special cargo docs Goal: Removal of document pouches, shipper to consignee *Customs Export and Import Goods, Cargo and Release (6 docs), Air Waybill, House Manifest, Flight Manifest, Invoice, Packing List, House Waybill 7

8 Proposed targets * Pillar I. e-freight Route Network Pillar II. Core transport docs (Airport-to-airport) Pillar III. Commercial docs (Door-to-door) Key goal: 80% network coverage by 2015 Key goal: Full industry capability for paperless A2A on e-freight Network by 2015 Key goal: Define industry plan for digitization of commercial and special cargo docs Specific Targets: Specific Targets: Specific Targets: e-freight market coverage: 2013: 45 % 2014: 60% 2015: 80% (Note: specific documents could be digitized on a larger Network than just the e-freight trade lanes. This will appear in document specific scorecards) e-awb Penetration: 2013: 20% 2014: 70%, 2015: 100% e-house Manifest: 100% penetration or capability by end 2015 e-flight Manifest: 100% capability by end 2015 e-csd: complete standard, and regulatory acceptance in a set of locations by end 2015 By mid 2013: Doc. specific roadmaps defined for: Invoice, Packing list, House Way Bill, Shippers Dec. for DG By end 2013: Doc. specific roadmaps for Certificate of Origin (CoO), Letter of Credit (LoC), Health and CITES (priority on CoO, LoC) *More details on targets in Appendix of this document 8

9 9 Roles 1. Creation of Route Network Program Management 2. Digitization core transport documents 3. Digitization commercial documents Project management: IATA (1) Lobbying activities: Led by IATA with support from all GACAG organizations and their members Local implementations: led by local industry leaders (2) (1) Specific ad-hoc plans to be defined for key locations. IATA will also work with WCO for engagement of country customs and regulators (2) Depending on location can be: airline/ff/customs/airport authority/possibly ground handlers (3) Management via EAWBAG and via bilateral IATA-FIATA collaboration. See specific items of collaboration identified to date on next slide e-awb: IATA project management in close collaboration with FIATA (3) e-house Manifest: IATA project management with support from FIATA Flight manifest: IATA e-csd: IATA project management, in collaboration with FIATA - e-sddg, Health Certificate: IATA leader - Other documents: leadership from FIATA/GSF with methodological support from IATA Overall program secretariat, reporting tools, scorecards, and other supporting tools as needed (such as Matchmaker) are also provided by IATA

10 GACAG collaboration on Pillars II/III Actions identified to date II. Digitization core transport documents III. Digitization commercial documents IATA/ FIATA jointly develop multilateral agreement for e-awb FIATA: seek to identify e-products for SME members IATA to push airlines to become e-awb capable Ensure right approach to implementation through EAWBAG (leadership from national airlines first) IATA/ FIATA to discuss ways to promote benefits to airline/forwarder community Adjust e-awb standard in view of any impact from change in forwarder/airline relationship (agent vs. principal) Project to review the specific issue of transfer of data/e-documentation at destination issue any recommendation as needed Technology: IATA to discuss with FIATA how technology suppliers can better integrate e-products into current software solutions Invoice/ Packing List: GSF surveying members for interest in digitizing core commercial documents Special docs (LoCs, CoOs): GSF engaging regulators of Letter of Credit and Certificate of Origin to understand status e-sddg: IATA will conduct in 2H12 a campaign for e-sddg acceptance 10

11 Each document must go through three stages for full digitization 1. Development of e-document standard Identify or define standard Conduct Proof of Concept Define supporting Business Processes 2. Regulatory adoption (global and local) Not always required (depends on document) 3. Industry adoption Can be conducted in parallel to stage 2 Needs supporting business processes and technology To drive through these steps, individual Task Forces or Working Groups may be required for specific documents, within the context of the overall e-freight initiative The e-freight governance will reflect this reality while maintaining overall consistency and end-to-end vision via the key role of the e-freight Central Action Group (ecag) 11

17 17 Scope of documents for e-freight three Pillars I. Creation e-freight Route Network II. Digitization of core transport documents III. Digitization of commercial documents Network (countries/airports) where paperless procedures can be implemented for a core scope of documents* (corresponding to General Cargo) Implementation of: e-awb e-house Manifest e-flight Manifest e-consignment Security Declaration Core commercial docs: Invoice, Packing list, House Air waybill Special cargo docs: Cites, Health Certificate, Certificate of Origin (CoO), Letter of Credit (LoC), Shipper s Dec. for Dangerous Goods (SDDG) *6 customs docs, 3 transport docs (Air Waybill, House Manifest, Flight Manifest), 3 commercial docs (Invoice, Packing List, House Waybill)

18 18 Details on targets I. e-freight Route Network e-freight market coverage (1) : 2013: 40-45% (1) 2014: 60% 2015: 80% II. Core transport docs (Airport-to-airport) e-awb Penetration (2) : 2012: 15% 2013: 30% 2014: 70%, 2015: 100% e-house Manifest: 100% penetration or capability by end 2015 (3) e-flight Manifest: 100% capability by end 2015 (4) e-csd: complete standard, and regulatory acceptance in a set of locations by end 2015 III. Commercial docs (Doorto-door) By mid 2013: Document specific roadmaps defined for: Invoice, Packing list, HAWB, SDDG GACAG targets defined for volume of EAW e-freight shipments (shipments with no document pouches) By end 2013: Document specific roadmaps for Certificate of Origin (CoO), Letter of Credit (LoC), Health, CITES (priority on CoO, LoC) (1) % air waybills covered by e-freight trade lanes. Key expansion drivers will be: USA (outbound), China, India, Brazil, Russia (2) On non-warsaw (feasible) trade lanes (3) Pending review by e-house Manifest Task Force, which should recommend a measurement, either based on penetration or capability (by end 2012). (4) Pending review by ecag *6 customs docs, 3 transport docs (Air Waybill, House Manifest, Flight Manifest), 3 commercial docs (Invoice, Packing List, House Waybill)

19 What this roadmap aims to deliver: 1) By end 2015, paperless airport-to-airport industry implementation covering up to 90% of global trade lanes with: Established industry capability to remove AWB, House Manifest, Flight Manifest & Security Declaration on these lanes 100% e-awb & e-house Manifest adoption (1) 2) By end 2015, a paperless door-to-door environment covering 80% of global trade lanes where: Shipments of general cargo (2) can be transported with no paper (no pouch) from shipper to consignee (estimated to represent a potential of around 60% of all air cargo shipments) based on regulatory environment and customs procedures Special cargo (2) can be transported with pouch 3) By end 2013, an approach to drive: Adoption by shippers and forwarders of e-documents for invoice/packing lists/house waybills would eliminate 60% or more of all document pouches (targeting mid 2013 for a proposed roadmap for this component) Digitization of key special cargo documents (e-sddg, Health, Cites, etc.) would eliminate most of the remaining 40% of pouches (targeting end 2013 for a proposed roadmap for this component) (1) For House Manifest, this is for review by e-house Manifest Task Force by end There is no current measure for penetration. A possible alternative would be to measure a measure industry capability. (2) For the purpose of e-freight, general cargo is considered any cargo where only Flight Manifest/MAWB/House Manifest/Invoice/Packing List/HAWB/Security Dec and Customs Declarations would be present. Special cargo is any cargo where any other document is also present. 19
