WACO GIVES MEMBERS REAL-TIME SHIPMENT VISIBILITY WITH BLUEBOX SYSTEMS CARGO TRACKING PLATFORMS
WACO members can now track air and ocean cargo shipments, prevent delays, and share data with other members to enhance collaboration in the network
London, UK, Wednesday 4th October 2023: The WACO System (WACO) has partnered with freight visibility platform BlueBox Systems to bring members real-time tracking of their cargo shipments in the air and ocean freight supply chain.
WACO members now have access to BlueBox’s two freight dashboards, BlueBoxAir and BlueBoxOcean, bringing real-time oversight of shipment status and flight-related information, including changes to estimated arrival times, enabling them to take corrective action.
“WACO has negotiated on behalf of the network to secure a great deal that ensures all members can offer their customers visibility throughout the entire supply chain,” said Richard Charles, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), The WACO System.
“We look forward to working with BlueBox in the interests of the network and anticipate bringing further digital solutions online in the near future.”
The new software allows WACO members to receive crucial updates about shipment progress and to react throughout the transport process to prevent costly delays.
The system furthermore allows collaboration between members in the network, enabling them to share shipment-related comments and documents with other WACO members.
These can be combined with accurate shipment data from both the ocean and air freight platforms, making it the ideal solution when WACO members collaborate on a shipment.
“The ability for our members to collaborate on shared shipments provides real added value to the WACO network and will strengthen partnerships among members,” added Charles.
The BlueBox dashboards also provides data analytics and collective reports, enabling WACO members to compare the on-time performance of more than 130 different airlines and identify the fastest route for their time-sensitive air cargo shipments.
“We work hard every day to provide the best freight data in the market and we will continue to innovate while adding value to our customers – that’s our commitment,” said Martin Schulze, CEO, BlueBox Systems.
Both WACO and BlueBox Systems are currently working on a single hybrid solution that will combine the airfreight visibility of BlueBox Systems with the ocean freight visibility capabilities of Vizion, a partner of BlueBox Systems.

Our Vision
The objective of SESAR is to modernise European ATM by defining, developing and delivering new or improved technologies and procedures (SESAR Solutions).
SESAR’s vision builds on the notion of trajectory-based operations’ and relies on the provision of air navigation services (ANS) in support of the execution of the business or mission trajectory — meaning that aircraft can fly their preferred trajectories without being constrained by airspace configurations.
SESAR Deployment Manager
The SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM) function is defined by the Article 9 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) N°409/2013. Under the oversight of the European Commission, the SDM function consists of the synchronisation and the coordination of the deployment of the Common Projects. A Common Project is a Commission Implementing Regulation which mandates the implementation of the most essential operational changes in the European ATM Master Plan by the Member States of the European Union and their operational stakeholders. The first Common Project is known as the Pilot Common Project (PCP) and is defined by the Regulation (EU) N°716/2014. The SDM synchronises and coordinates implementation against the SESAR Deployment Programme which is a project view of the Common Projects organizing their implementation into optimum sequences of activities by all the stakeholders required to implement. To develop and maintain the SESAR Deployment Programme in close consultation with all the stakeholders is another important task under the SDM function.
