Unilode Aviation Solutions, the market leader in outsourced unit load device (ULD) management, repair, and digital services, is thrilled to announce the launch of its new mobile app, e-ULD, customer portal, and enterprise data warehouse (EDW). These will provide enhanced data analytics and significant operational and cost benefits to its ULD management and digital customers across its global network.

Unilode owns and manages the world’s largest digitally enabled fleet of approximately 165,000 ULDs and operates over 700 readers in more than 500 facilities worldwide.

Unilode’s unique ULD pooling concept, combined with its digital capabilities, increases asset utilisation, reduces costs and contributes to sustainability goals.

Unilode’s new mobile app is compatible with iOS and Android devices and replaces its previous application for ULD scanning and tracing. It aims to reduce manual work on Stock Control Messages (SCMs), ULD loan transfers, and other operational processes and helps reduce ULD losses, repairs, and inefficiencies.

Bas Vermeer, Unilode’s Chief Information Officer, said: “We are thrilled about the launch of our new e-ULD app, enterprise data warehouse and customer portal, which ensure that Unilode continues being at the forefront of technology in the ULD industry.

These developments enable closer collaboration with our airline customers and their ground handlers and further improve Unilode’s digital ULD fleet management. The e-ULD app enables on and off-ramp scanning of ULDs, increasing the number of sightings for ULDs outside the direct range of the reader network. The new enterprise data warehouse and customer portal have been a substantial investment and aim to provide our customers with real-time data about asset utilisation and the location and movement of ULDs.
