Air France-KLM has selected Accelya to provide its Cargo Revenue Accounting (CRA) solution to process and optimise the airline’s cargo billing, settlement, and accounting processes.

Air France-KLM has chosen the multi-airline variant of the solution from the software provider to be used across the group, and joins more than 30 airlines already using Accelya’s integrated cargo solutions.

The CRA solution will give Air France-KLM access to reliable, comprehensive, and accurate financial monitoring capabilities that can enhance cashflow, revenue recognition, and reporting processes.

Joren Laeven, vice president of controlling commercial at Air France-KLM Cargo, said: “Our decision to invest in a new best-of-breed cargo revenue accounting solution is another key milestone in our overall technology transformation at Air France-KLM.

“We were impressed with Accelya’s CRA solution and its capability to manage multi-airline requirements.

“We also appreciate that Accelya offers a comprehensive suite of cargo solutions encompassing offers to settle the journey of the shipment.

“With Accelya’s Cargo Revenue Accounting platform, we have the capability to optimise our financial monitoring, boost revenue, and enhance profitability.”

Accelya’s ‘out-of-the-box’ CRA solution is easily integrated into airlines’ existing operational and financial systems, as well as industry platforms such as SIS and CASS.

The new contract builds on the two companies’ existing partnership to deliver personalised, dynamic, and bundled offers to Air France-KLM’s customers through Accelya’s FLX Merchandise.
