Dubai, U.A.E-Zurich, Switzerland, January 2009 -Swiss WorldCargo, the cargo division of Swiss International Air Lines Ltd., has officially gone live with "Swiss Worx", a customised version of the comprehensive end-to-end IT cargo management system SkyChain developed by Mercator, the Dubai-based business technology provider.

Swiss WorldCargo has been selected by IATA to pioneer the introduction of a new 'e-freight' facility. With preparations in top gear from November on, "No paper, thanks!" will soon be the Swiss WorldCargo motto: from the beginning of next year, Switzerland's quality cargo carrier will record and handle cargo consignments in electronic form. The new approach is not only good news for the environment; it will simplify processes, enhance transport quality and save money, too.
