We have been a leading player in the air cargo community for more than 30 years. Om 1 November 2020, Schiphol took full ownership of our cargo information platform. Prior to this, Schiphol had held a stake in the company ever since its foundation in 1986.

We deploy our extensive experience, in-depth knowledge and innovative products and services to connect logistics organisations, the government sector and other air cargo data hubs worldwide. Our goal is to create a seamless chain and operate as an internationally connected hub that enables swift, smart and efficient cargo handling.

We aim to build a successful community, both locally and internationally, through collaboration and innovation. Our commitment to quality and reliability makes us a trusted partner in the air cargo industry.

Our programmes

Smart Cargo Mainport Program (SCMP)

Our Smart Cargo Mainport Programme (SCMP) was established in 2015 to help Schiphol maintain its leading role in air cargo. This innovation programme brings together an active and representative team of chain players to develop solutions for the cargo community. The programme is supported by Royal Schiphol Group, Cargonaut and industry association Air Cargo Netherlands (ACN).

SCMP coordinates cooperation between ground handlers, airlines, forwarders, carriers and other supply chain partners. The aim is to improve and digitise air cargo processes at the airport and throughout its support network. This results in an efficient, safe and sustainable flow of air cargo, keeping us ahead of the competition and at the forefront of safe air cargo transport.

Basic Data Infrastructure / Digital Infrastructure Logistics (BDI/DIL)

We also participate in the Digital Infrastructure Logistics (DIL) programme, in which the Dutch mainports and other partners join forces to accelerate the digital exchange of data in freight transport. SCMP ensures that air cargo is connected to the Basic Data Infrastructure (BDI) currently under development. A pilot project has been set up to explore ways of sharing data securely with non-community parties while maintaining control by the data owner.
