Allcargo Logistics is strengthening its digital operating framework with Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, standardising finance and procurement processes across its distributed operations while improving governance, automation and financial visibility. The implementation has reduced month-end closing time by 30%, marking a measurable gain in financial process efficiency.
Founded in 1993, Allcargo Logistics operates more than 700 facilities across India, serving customers in sectors including e-commerce, automotive and pharmaceuticals. As its operations expanded, the company sought to move beyond legacy on-premises systems towards a scalable cloud platform capable of automating routine tasks, strengthening controls and providing greater visibility across its business.
Following its evaluation, Allcargo Logistics adopted Oracle Fusion Applications for finance, bringing more than 4,000 users and over 700 operating units onto a single integrated platform. The move has helped standardise core business processes, reduce manual intervention and improve operational oversight.
Through Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), the company has automated and harmonised finance workflows across its operations, enabling teams to focus less on routine processing while strengthening controls and financial reporting. Oracle Fusion Cloud Procurement has also supported the automation of end-to-end purchasing processes, providing a more consistent view of procurement activity across its geographically distributed network.
Sanjay Khiyani, Chief Information Officer, Allcargo Logistics, said digital transformation remains central to the company’s long-term growth strategy and commitment to operational excellence. He apprised the integrated platform as a foundation for using artificial intelligence to simplify workflows, improve visibility and support continued business expansion.
Shailesh Singla, Vice President, Cloud Applications, Oracle India, highlighted how rising customer expectations and increasingly dynamic supply chains are driving logistics providers to adopt applications that can take on more routine operational work. He noted that Oracle’s AI capabilities and Fusion Agentic Applications are designed to automate tasks and help teams devote greater attention to decisions and priorities that influence business outcomes.
The implementation was managed by Grant Thornton Bharat, an Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) partner. For Allcargo Logistics, the deployment represents a step towards a more standardised, digitally enabled and well-governed operating model, with automation and integrated data supporting efficiency across its growing logistics network.
Emirates SkyCargo has launched AI Tech, a dedicated logistics product designed to transport critical Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure safely and on schedule. The offering is tailored for AI server racks, semiconductors, GPUs, capital equipment and other essential hardware, combining priority loading, specialised handling and proactive shipment monitoring through the airline’s command centre in Dubai. As AI adoption accelerates and computing systems become more sophisticated, transporting technology equipment has grown increasingly complex. Large-scale deployments often involve high-value cargo, compressed timelines and specialised handling requirements. AI Tech aims to address these demands through globally standardised operating procedures, enhanced shipment oversight and proactive customer coordination throughout the transportation journey. “Behind every AI breakthrough is physical infrastructure that needs to arrive safely and on time. AI Tech is designed to give customers confidence that their critical equipment will move seamlessly across our network, supported by operational oversight and proactive communication,” said Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo. Abbas added that the airline transported more than 700 tonnes of AI infrastructure across its global network in July alone, with demand continuing to grow. Emirates SkyCargo aims to become the carrier of choice for companies operating across the AI ecosystem. The product includes dedicated handling procedures to maintain equipment orientation and minimise damage risk, priority loading and scheduling for time-critical deployments, and airport-to-airport shipment visibility with milestone updates monitored through the Dubai command centre. It also provides proactive customer communication and specialist project cargo support for oversized and heavy shipments. Developed from the airline’s experience transporting AI-related hardware between manufacturing centres and major technology markets, AI Tech is available across Emirates SkyCargo’s global network for most AI-related cargo, including semiconductors, chips and server racks. For highly specialised manufacturing equipment, station capability assessments are conducted in advance to confirm that shipment requirements can be safely accommodated. The product is supported by Emirates SkyCargo’s fleet and global network. By March 2027, the airline expects to operate 23 dedicated freighters, providing main-deck capacity for tall and dense server racks, which can often weigh more than 3.5 tonnes. The airline also offers cargo capacity on its wide-body passenger aircraft. With AI Tech, Emirates SkyCargo is positioning its logistics offering around the speed, reliability, visibility and specialised handling requirements of the rapidly expanding AI sector.
Zebra Technologies Corporation has expanded its repair services footprint in India with the launch of two new service centres in Mumbai and Gurgaon, strengthening regional technical support and aiming to reduce repair turnaround times for customers across the country. The new centres complement the company’s existing centralised repair hub in Bengaluru, extending service coverage across India’s Western and Northern business corridors. The expansion is designed to bring technical support closer to customer operations, minimise device downtime and support businesses increasingly relying on digitised and automated workflows. Operated by Zebra’s authorised service partner, Communications Test Design Inc. (CTDI), the Mumbai and Gurgaon facilities are staffed by trained technicians specialising in the repair of Zebra printers and mobile computers. “India is a key growth market for Zebra, with businesses across manufacturing, retail, transport and logistics, healthcare and other sectors increasingly digitising and automating their workflows,” said Subramaniam Tiruppathi, Country Lead, India and Subcontinent, Zebra Technologies. He added that expanding local service capabilities alongside the Bengaluru hub is vital to supporting the company’s growing customer base throughout the technology lifecycle. Under the expanded service model, the Mumbai and Gurgaon centres will exclusively handle Zebra printers and mobile computers. The Bengaluru hub will continue to operate as the company’s comprehensive repair facility, covering its full product portfolio, including printers, scanners, tablets, mobile computers, radio-frequency identification (RFID) solutions, fixed industrial scanning and machine vision systems. Customers can continue routing all eligible device types to Bengaluru, while qualifying printers and mobile computers can now be directed to the new regional centres. Repair orders can be initiated through Zebra’s Repair Order Portal using existing Zebra single sign-on credentials. The expansion reinforces Zebra’s focus on strengthening local service infrastructure as organisations across India scale their use of connected devices and automation. By bringing repair capabilities closer to key business corridors, the company aims to improve service responsiveness and help customers maintain operational continuity across increasingly technology-dependent environments.
