Descartes ONE Record™
Helping carriers, freight forwarders, and ground handling agents (GHAs) meet the IATA ONE Record standard
What is IATA's ONE Record?
IATA’s ONE Record initiative aims to help airlines, their partners and service providers digitize air cargo information, replacing the traditional exchange of documents using CargoIMP and CargoXML standards.
How Can Descartes Help?
Regardless of the data format, Descartes has the tools to get your company moving forward with ONE Record. Building upon Descartes Air Shipment Management™ solution, our technology can transform your data to seamlessly meet IATA ONE Record standards.
What Deployment Options Does Descartes Offer?
Our solution can be deployed via a range of options to meet your operational needs including:
Descartes ONE Record™ Bridge
Easily leverage new and existing technologies to share data with regulatory agencies, trade partners, carriers, and de-consolidators. Simply make the connection with the Descartes ONE Record instance, and we’ll use it to generate and send CargoIMP, CargoXML, or proprietary messages to and from logistics partners or government agencies that have not yet made the move to the IATA ONE Record standard.
Descartes ONE Record™ Hosted
Easily connect and share information with your data partners via our hosted platform. Continue sending CargoIMP and CargoXML to Descartes as you do today, and we will make it available to your partners seamlessly.
Descartes ONE Record™ Optimized
For existing Descartes customers, trading CargoIMP today is a low-impact, high-value configuration that consistently delivers for all parties. Our real-time, event-driven data exchange ensures data flows exactly where it’s needed, when it’s needed, securely and efficiently. Continuous, encrypted communication safeguards privacy, preserves trust, and protects data integrity at every step.
Descartes ONE Record™ Analytics
Connect Descartes ONE Record to the analytics engine of your choice to leverage data dynamically. A logistics object is structured as a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) that is easy to read by humans and simple to connect to other data sources or AI agents.
