2 Risk Assessment Initiatives Security and Customs Authorities Growing interest for authorities to undertake risk assessment, BEFORE cargo is being loaded onto an plane. PLACI Programs known: USA = ACAS Canada = PACT European States (28) = PRECISE..others are following! Fortunately, these authorities are cooperating towards standard information and data structures but at time ad hoc directives are detrimental to seamless handling of air cargo IT WILL NOT WORK UNLESS DIGITALIZATION HAS BEEN EMBRACED! 2

3 Market Requirement Customer Requirements Customer expect direct interfaces between forwarder IT systems with their own applications and seamless information flow Enabling systems: Internet Applications (IoT) Mobile devices (Scanner, RFID, etc) Global coverage 24/7/365 Supply chain planning; control; reporting Big Data Modern IT solutions make standardization easier = No technical hurdles IT WILL NOT WORK UNLESS DIGITALIZATION HAS WILL APPLIED! 3
