The digital transformation in Egypt acquires the shipment of momentum with Cargoflash partnership
Egypt has started a shipment in a large technical reform process by implementing the integrated NGEN charging system for Cargo Flash (ICMS), indicating a strategic boost towards operating update and data -based logistical services. The partnership represents a great milestone in the carrier’s attempt to establish itself as a digitally advanced shipping operator inside Africa and the competitive aviation market in the Middle East.
NGEN ICMS, a comprehensive platform for managing goods -based goods, will replace, which was developed on the basis of the cloud developed by Cargo Flash Infotech, Egyptian Legacy systems with an integrated digital ecosystem. It automates each stage of shipping operations, from reservation and documentation to final storage and delivery, and the actual time tracking, pre -emptive control, and simplified communications through the value chain.
“The digital transformation is at the core of our strategic direction,” said Captain Ihab Al -Qatawi, Chairman and CEO of Egypt. “We are committed to building an ecosystem ready for the future supported by data, innovation and best global practices. Our partnership with Cargo Flash is one of several steps we take to update operations and provide more intelligent and more efficient solutions to our customers.”
A competitive response to the growing market
Egypt’s goods in digitization come in a wider batch by African and Middle East transport companies to enhance the competitiveness of shipping. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), African transport companies recorded a 10.2 % increase on an annual basis in kilometers tons of goods (CTKS) in 2024, driven by strong trade with Asia and Europe. However, goods operators in the region are still facing challenges, including infrastructure restrictions, fragmented regulatory frameworks, and the adoption of inconsistent digital platforms.
The new system puts Egypt’s shipment to respond to these pressures by increasing transparency and reducing the times of transformation. With Africa expected to represent 5 % of global air cargo sizes by 2030 (an increase of 2 % in 2024, according to ICAO expectations), transport companies like Misrat are increasingly subject to updating systems to deal with high -value complex flows.
The role of technology in the competitiveness of shipping
The Vice President of Saas Products in NGEN ICMS was supervised by the Vice President of Saas Products, Neha Kumari, who led a team that focuses on improving the “comprehensive charging vision and operational transparency”. This focus reflects a shift in the dynamics of the cargo industry, as efficiency is increasingly gaining on digital work instead of expanding the physical infrastructure.
The goods -based goods systems such as NGEN are transport companies to provide advanced services, including predictive analyzes of charging management, automatic customs integration, and self -demand. For trucks, this translates into improved reliability, improving compliance with commercial regulations, and lower heavy operations in paper business-a region in which African transport companies have left historically.
Jasraj S. Chuge, co -founder and director of Cargo Flash, frams to “the strategic compatibility of vision and capabilities”, adding that the platform will enable Egypt to ship “efficiently in a competitive global scene”.
Compatibility with the goals of regional policy
The efforts of digitization in Egypt are in line with the goods with Egypt’s ambition to develop Cairo as a regional logistical center, with the support of investments in the airport infrastructure and the development of the free trade area. The rapidly expanding e -commerce market in Africa, which is worth $ 30 billion in 2024 (according to the World Bank), provides demand for reliable air cargo services, making digital integration a priority policy for many governments throughout the continent.
The possibilities of NGEN system integration will also allow Egypt to comply with international digital standards such as the IATA Register Initiative, which seeks to create one unified record for each shipment. For Egypt, the adoption of the global -recognized digital protocols can enhance its position in securing agreements and partnerships with international transport companies.
Regional tanker
While the shift is still in its early stages, Egypt’s charging partnership with Cargo Flash places a precedent for other regional tankers seeking to expand digital capabilities. With the high demand for African air cargo, modernization will be it is very important for local airlines to compete with firm global centers such as Dubai and Doha, as digital ecosystems already support shipping processes.
For Egypt’s shipment, NGEN ICMS’s publication is more than regulations upgrading; It indicates a strategic development from the traditional transport company to a logistical player that supports technology. If it is successfully implemented, the initiative can provide a plan for other national carriers that move in the complex intersection of politics and facilitating trade and customer expectations.
