Cargo Data Management announced that it is planning to install and implement their hosted, browser-based booking, tracking, and cargo revenue accounting system at Frontier Airlines. The two companies have signed a three-year contract for the hosted, integrated cargo system.

Frontier is the second-largest carrier at Denver International Airport employing approximately 5,000 aviation professionals, and serving approximately 70 cities in North America, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Dallas-based Cargo Data Management is an industry leader in developing hosted integrated cargo systems and has been using electronic air waybills since 2003.

Frontier Airlines will be using Cargo Data Management's browser-based cargo reservation and tracking system, and cargo revenue accounting system. As part of the hosted service, Cargo Data Management is managing all of Frontier Airlines' cargo data on an Oracle 10G database running on a Linux operating system at Cargo Data Management's hosting facility in Dallas.

'The browser-based booking and tracking system is available to all of Frontier's employees and general sales agents who book and track freight on the Frontier system,' explained Garner McNett, president of Cargo Data Management. 'Anywhere there is an Internet connection, a Frontier employee or Frontier agent can use this system.'

With the system, Frontier and its cargo shipping customers can track their freight through a secure website, following each stage of its movement until it is delivered to the consignee. Frontier's employees at any of the carrier's sales offices and general sales agent sites can access complete account information and marketing reports via the website.

Secure billing information is available to each Frontier customer on the website, along with their final invoice, and an extensive selection of marketing and sales reports which they can download and print. This data is available at the moment the invoice is prepared and allows Frontier's forwarder clients to accelerate their own billings to their customers.

A special feature of the Cargo Data Management system enables Frontier's management to track cargo bookings, shipments, and revenue per flight throughout the Frontier System on a real-time basis.
