Efficiency in Motion,

Sustainability in Action

ULDigital’s IULDUG e-UCR is a leap into the future of air cargo,
fostering a more efficient, eco-friendly, and digitally advanced industry.

About ULDigital

ULDigital is a trusted service provider, collaborating with ULD CARE, a non-profit organization representing air cargo companies worldwide.

Together we have developed an innovative digital platform: IULDUG e-UCR, to replace the original IULDUG service.

This new service replaces the existing IULDUG framework, enhancing ULD (Unit Load Device) management across the industry.

What Is IULDUG e-UCR?

Background

• The original IULDUG system served as a change-of-control mechanism for ULDs, facilitating interline activities.
• It also calculated demurrage charges when ULDs were returned late from participating airlines.

 

The Evolution

• IULDUG e-UCR builds upon this foundation, extending its capabilities beyond airport boundaries.
• It now includes off-airport transfers, a common practice involving freight forwarders.

Key Features

 

Transfer of ULDs

• IULDUG e-UCR streamlines the transfer process for ULDs and their support equipment.
• Support equipment includes fire blankets, nets, straps, fittings, and doors.
• This addition is crucial because replacing support equipment can be costly.

Mobile Application Integration

• The IULDUG e-UCR mobile app captures essential data during ULD transfers.
• Users can take pictures and collect signatures from involved parties.
• These images and signatures serve as irrefutable proof in case of disputes.

Softcopy UCRs in PDF Format

• Gone are the days of paper-based UCRs.
• IULDUG e-UCR generates customizable softcopy UCRs in PDF format.
• These can be easily shared among multiple stakeholders.

Customizable Dashboard

• Each user enjoys a personalized dashboard.
• It highlights activities requiring attention, ensuring efficient ULD management.

Automated Communication

• Messages pop up within the system:
◦ When specific activities occur
◦ When parties dispute transfer details
◦ When clarifications are needed
• No more external emails or phone calls – everything happens seamlessly.

API Integration

• IULDUG e-UCR designed to work with existing backend systems.
• APIs facilitate data exchange, making the entire air cargo industry more efficient.

Sustainability

  • The system promotes ULD return efficiency, contributing to industry sustainability.
  • By minimizing paper usage, it aligns with eco-friendly practices.

Efficiency

  • Change of control is simplified and electronically completed.  
  • Proactive notification of events requiring action streamlines operations.

Digitalization

  • IULDUG e-UCR accelerates the industry’s digital transformation.
  • Organizations can embrace modern practices without disruption.

• Airlines
• Managers
• Cargo Handlers
• Ground Service Agents
• ULD Repair Cents
• Freight Forwarders
• ULD Rental Companies
