FreightPath LLC said it has introduced an innovative and affordable software system dedicated to the high-tech needs of all-cargo airlines, small to mid-size passenger carriers with cargo operations, and general sales agents (GSAs).

The "FreightPath' Airline Cargo System" is a cost-effective alternative to expensive and often-outdated legacy I.T. systems. The system delivers all the flexibility and functionality of world-class cargo management software without the enormous price tag embedded in legacy systems. Add-on maintenance agreements provide FreightPath's clients with twice-annual upgrades to ensure that the software's functionality keeps pace with their needs and those of their customers.

"Beneath the surface of the troubled major airline industry lies a vibrant group of regional and niche all-cargo carriers, smaller passenger airlines with fast-growing cargo services, and general sales agents," said Ted Braun, FreightPath President. "Our software solutions are built around their needs and budgets, offering these businesses real-time shipment visibility, seamless back-office support and superior customer service, all of which results in enhanced profitability."

Everts Air Cargo, a Fairbanks, Alaska-based all-cargo carrier, uses the FreightPath' Airline system to support its growing and profitable intra-Alaskan flight operations.

"FreightPath' Airline has delivered compelling benefits for a relatively small investment on our part," said Karen Wing, head of I.T. support, Everts. "Using Freight Path ' Airline, our customer service agents quickly retrieve shipment data with minimal input from customers, while our support personnel generate multiple reports in seconds. We spend less time gathering data, yet we now have a robust information flow enabling us to better anticipate our customers' needs and to provide world-class service."

Wing added, "FreightPath' Airline is the answer for fast-growing firms that can't afford or have little use for expensive and obsolete legacy technology that larger firms think they can't live without."
