1. Ezycargo heads west!!

 

From 20th to 23rd March, an Ezycargo eBusiness specialist will again be visiting Perth, working with forwarders and airlines on key Ezycargo functions such as electronic data transfer and eBookings.

 

So if you are located in PER and would like to schedule an appointment for us to visit to conduct training or discuss any eBusiness & messaging matters, please contact us so we can make some mutually convenient arrangements.

 
   

 

2. Our new on-line reports to monitor you FWB & FHL transmissions

 

Due to the importance of your FWB's and FHL's being successfully received by the airlines and CTO's, we have recently launched a new web based data reporting tool that enables you to monitor the message transfer of all your data through the Ezycargo messaging hub. So in addition to any monitoring that may be included in your host system, you can now also monitor your data flow on www.ezycargo.com.au.

 

If you would like to review this new service, please contact us and we would be pleased to provide you with more information.

 
   

 

3. Another reminder - please review your response messages

 

As penalties can apply if your FWB and FHL messages are not received at CTO's and airlines, it is very important that you review your response messages from Ezycargo and the airlines to ensure successful message transmission.

 

If you have any questions in relation to the FMA and FNA responses, please contact your software supplier or contact us here at Ezycargo, on 1300 88 73 71 or info@ezcyargo.com.au

 
   

 

4. Did you know about automatic email alerts for your eBookings? 

 

A reminder that when you send your eBookings through Ezycargo, you can elect to receive automatic email alerts to advise the status of your booking. So in addition to reviewing your bookings in the Booking Log on www.ezycargo.com.au, you can also receive an email the moment the airlines confirm or amend any of your bookings.

 

For more information, please contact us on 1300 88 73 71 or info@ezycargo.com.au

 
   

 

5. Automatic Status Updates - helping to monitor your cargo and improve

    your customer service

 

In response to receiving FWB's from forwarders, most airline systems return FSU (Freight Status Update) messages to advise the status of your cargo as it moves through its journey.

 

These updates are returned to your host system, or in some cases may also be emailed to you. They really are a great way to monitor your cargo without having to visit multiple airline web sites.

 

For more information, check with your software provider, or contact us at Ezycargo. A comment from and agent who has only recently begun to enjoy the benefits of FSU's:

"I don't have to confirm uplifts anymore as they message me once it has been uplifted & delivered...this is so cool."

If you are one of the agents entering FWB's via www.ezycargo.com.au, just a reminder that you have an extra feature already available that allows you to view all your status updates. It's located under the 'History' tab, and you can easily customise your report to produce the results you need.

 
   

 

6. See us at the AFIF 2006 Conference
