CHAMP Cargosystems has announced the launch of 1Neo-Connect to support air cargo businesses of every scale with IATA ONE Record adoption.

ONE Record is an innovative data-sharing standard introduced by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to modernize the air cargo industry. It is set to replace legacy formats like Cargo IMP and XML, ushering in a new era of standardized and streamlined data exchange.

1Neo-Connect offers a bridge from complexity to simplicity through a plug-and-play API connection, allowing all participants (Freight Forwarders, Airlines, and GHAs) to engage with ONE Record data exchanges through CHAMP’s Super Node.

1Neo-Connect will offer a full IATA ONE Record connection to external parties outside the CHAMP Super-Node Community. It will also seamlessly work with various ONE Record versions as updates are released and interface with Cargo-IMP, Cargo-XML, and CHAMP's Cargo JSON ensuring future-proof optimization.

Chris McDermott, CEO at CHAMP, said

“The future of air cargo demands a paradigm shift—from document-centric to data-centric. By embracing ONE Record and leveraging dynamic solutions like 1Neo-Connect, the air cargo community can enjoy the benefits of harmonized information exchange, unlocking unprecedented visibility and efficiency across the supply chain. We're immensely proud of the real-world applications we've already deployed and are excited to continue developing new use cases that will benefit the entire industry."

Henk Mulder, Head of Digital Cargo at IATA said

“IATA applauds CHAMP Cargosystems' launch of 1Neo-Connect, a significant step towards accelerating ONE Record adoption across the air cargo industry. This innovative solution exemplifies the collaborative spirit needed to transform air cargo into a truly data-driven digitalized ecosystem, unlocking greater efficiency and visibility for all stakeholders.”
