Menzies Aviation announced an extension of its partnership with Wipro to implement the MACH cargo management system at 28 additional stations globally in 2025. This follows the successful roll-out of MACH in 24 locations across four continents in 2024, with 13 additional airports scheduled to come on-line in the next months.
Since the launch in November 2023, MACH, or Menzies Aviation Cargo Handling, has already been launched in key airports such as Auckland (AKL), Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), and O. R. Tambo International (JNB). Since put into service, the system has already handled over 150,000 tonnes of cargo and provided real-time data insights for its users. The system will serve more than 3,000 end-users, and 600 of Menzies’ employees have already been trained in using the system.
MACH is actually changing cargo management at Menzies through a totally cloud-based, end-to-end solution that offers real-time access across devices. With the ‘single source of truth’ it runs automatically, populating electronic information to improve data accuracy with a seamless integration with the other systems to simplify and standardise processes.
“We are very excited to confirm the second phase of the MACH roll-out, which will see the system implemented at an additional 28 locations across the world. The first phase of the programme will be completed over the coming months, which is testament to the successful offering, and sharing the multiple benefits of this pioneering and cutting-edge system to our airline customers across our global network,” Rory Fidler, SVP Cargo Technology, Menzies Aviation, said.
Commenting on the development, Omkar Nisal, UKI Managing Director, Wipro Limited, said, “Leveraging advanced automation, real-time data integration, and streamlined workflows, our solution is helping Menzies handle more shipments with fewer resources, leading to cost savings and faster turnaround times. Through real-time data integration, Menzies is now able to have better visibility into the supply chain, allowing them to identify and resolve issues promptly, thus ensuring timely deliveries and customer satisfaction.”
