BLUE BELL, Pa., Oct. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that it has won the
Customer Choice Award for IT Service Provider of the Year at the
Payload Asia Awards, honoring innovation and excellence in the air
cargo supply chain. Unisys was recognized for Digistics™, a
holistic and integrated digital logistics solution that enables air
cargo carriers to streamline their freight management and improve
operational efficiencies.
The awards, hosted by leading industry publisher Payload
Asia, were presented in Singapore on October
12. Determined by popular online voting, the awards
spotlight air cargo supply chain companies that have excelled
despite a challenging global air freight market – demonstrating
agility, innovation and superior strategic planning – and having a
beneficial impact on market trends.
Digistics features a modern, cloud-based architecture that
greatly improves a carrier's speed to market, while advanced
analytics and machine learning technologies analyze past, present
and future data to optimize supply chain operations and route
planning. The cloud-based solution allows for seamless integration
into existing systems and supports multiple device types –
including mobile devices, tablets, touchscreen devices, and PCs –
enabling a more agile, digital workspace.
"This award is a testament to our clients as much as it is to
us," said Eric Hutto, senior vice president and president,
Enterprise Solutions, Unisys. "We have seen first-hand the
commitment and dedication our clients have towards embracing
digital transformation to foundationally transform their business
operations, and through our partnership and collaboration, have
developed software to meet those most critical business needs."
This acknowledgement is the latest recognition for Unisys cargo
capabilities. In July, Unisys' predictive freight capability was
honored at the ICMG 2017 Australasian & Asia Pacific
Architecture Excellence Awards, and in September, Digistics won the
global award for "Best Software Architecture" at the ICMG 2017 USA
Architecture Excellence Awards.
Digistics is the first comprehensive digital air cargo solution
that offers catalogue-based disruptive solutions via the cloud,
providing end-to-end functionality from operations to route
planning. The solution bridges the gap to the digital age of travel

while also reducing costs.
"The increasing list of third-party awards and recognition
validates and supports our approach to transforming supply chain
operations. We are thankful to our clients and business
partners in further endorsing Digistics as their choice of product
for air cargo operations," said Dheeraj Kohli, vice president and
