Unisys’ cargo platform onboards PayCargo’s online payment solution

July 21, 2020: Unisys cargo management system integrated the online payment solution of PayCargo to provide Unisys’ partner carriers with a single platform that includes payment services, with automated data that saves time and money.

Delta Cargo has become the first Unisys carrier partner to offer its customers direct access to online payment processing through the solution.

Curtis Schuler, vice president, client management, Americas, Unisys, said, “As a result of our relationship with PayCargo, we are providing real-time payment visibility for Delta that not only improves cash management but further creates a seamless, transparent and user-friendly environment that will reduce administrative costs and better manage electronic payments for their business.”

The Application Programming Interface (API) integration connects PayCargo directly into Unisys’ Digistics solutions including their Cargo Portal Solution, Digi-Portal.

Lionel van der Walt, president and chief executive officer of Americas, PayCargo, said, “The benefits of integration includes the expedited release of shipments, lower costs, improved cash management, increased transparency, reduced manual effort and streamlined operations.”

Solutions
1. Users on both sides of a transaction have visibility into billing, which enables them to address any issues immediately and make payments more efficiently.

2. The integrated solution automates the payment creation for payers, including freight forwarders, importers and beneficial cargo owners, as well as providing real-time remittance validation for airlines to enable same-day release of cargo.

3. Airlines do not need to access multiple systems, and the automated data flows save time and avoid costly human errors.

4. In addition, all payments made via PayCargo can be viewed on the AWB Charges function within the Unisys Digistics system for auditing and payment tracking.
