CARGOLAND: LGG Tracking is the first step

  • More than 30 projects are currently underway at LGG as CARGOLAND embarks on its progressive strategy of creating a digital twin.
  • It recently celebrated a significant milestone in its digitalisation journey, with the launch of LGG Tracking on May 15, 2025. 

Developed in partnership with technology provider NSI, LGG Tracking is the result of months of collaboration with LGG’s cargo community. LGG Tracking, which is free to use within CARGOLAND, is a centralised tracking and management solution that provides a single source of truth for all cargo movements.

It incorporates a unified messaging platform which links directly to specific Air Waybills (AWB), therefore all communication is contextually anchored and traceable. Authorised parties can access real-time information on the current location and status of a shipment at every stage of its journey. This vastly improved transparency speeds up supply chain coordination, minimises risk of errors or delays, and makes far better use of human resources as they no longer need to manually request updates across multiple channels. The digital tracking solution also enables fully automated, digital customs clearance, streamlining the final stage of the process and ensuring efficient, real-time completion of all required processes.

“LGG Tracking is more than just innovation,” says Frederic Brun, Head of Commercial Cargo & Logistics at LGG.

“It is the culmination of an intense collaborative effort, the proof of a well-functioning cargo community here at CARGOLAND, and the start of a long-term learning curve as we jointly progress with our digital twin vision. Together with NSI, we developed LGG Tracking following a series of workshops and thorough business process analyses.

These highlighted focus areas and generated ideas; however, the most significant challenge was consolidating data from various sources and stages within the process. The transparency we now have is the foundation on which we can build a digital twin for CARGOLAND, and begin digitalising the many other activities taking place in and around our facilities.”

“Everyone at CARGOLAND is involved in our digital transformation journey. Over 100 different stakeholders from airport management to airline partners, technology providers, regulatory bodies, and cargo community members participate either directly or indirectly in the digitalisation process. A highly diverse mix of project managers and contributors comes together to develop and roll out solutions such as our latest achievement, LGG Tracking,” Torsten Wefers, Vice President Sales & Marketing at LGG, agrees.

“This cross-pollination of ideas and perspectives ensures that each solution is tailored to meet the real-world needs of every stakeholder. And it generates a certain dynamic excitement that goes a long way towards making our digital twin vision a reality.”

With the launch of LGG Tracking, CARGOLAND has laid one of the core foundation stones in its extensive digital transformation journey. Many of the 30 digitalisation projects currently underway at LGG are reaching maturity, hence there are equally significant announcements soon to come.
