Oman Air Cargo, one of the most innovative and fast growing air cargo carriers, announced today that it has launched its new 100% Cloud-based Cargo ERP Solution, implemented by SmartKargo, the world’s most advanced cargo management platform for airlines, ground handlers, sales agents, and regulators. Oman Air chose the state-of-the-art solution to maximize the potential of its Cargo business—leveraging the solution’s advanced, real-time capability to bring digital transformation to all aspects of the business—to improve revenues and customer service.
The smart and intuitive SmartKargo booking system is noted for its “ease-of-use”, providing web-based access for agents and employees of Oman Air—with capability for customer bookings via a mobile app to follow in coming months.

“We chose the SmartKargo cloud solution due to the robust infrastructure, platform and advanced technology that it is built upon. We can now provide easy, secure access via integration with any business partner across the world, with little effort,” said Mr. Mohammed Al Musafir, Senior Vice President – Commercial Cargo at Oman Air. “The full SmartKargo ERP solution was deployed in less than two months. Within the first 24 hours, the Go-Live system registered a tremendous response from users globally,” he added.
Advanced insights into the business are made possible in real-time with Revenue and Capacity Management that is informed by immediate access to data, full shipment visibility and robust reporting. The advanced SmartKargo Link capability within the solution will also facilitate Oman Air Cargo’s interline opportunities by streamlining processes and communications with partner airlines—opening up new revenue potential.
