ons across over 40 countries, the company’s AI-driven solutions deliver a seamless, intelligent cargo experience that is transforming the logistics landscape.
Vineet Malhotra, Co-Founder and Director of Kale Logistics Solutions, highlights that around 85 percent of India’s air cargo currently moves through Kale’s digital platforms. The company’s implementation of artificial intelligence has led to significant operational improvements, including a 60 percent reduction in truck waiting times and the complete elimination of paper documentation. These achievements underscore the power of AI in streamlining route optimisation, predictive insights, and geo-fencing, setting a new standard for global air cargo handling.
A standout example of Kale’s impact is Mumbai International Airport, where the company’s early adoption of AI helped eliminate over seven million physical paper copies and drastically cut truck wait times. This digital transformation enabled the airport to expand its cargo handling capacity without requiring physical expansion of its infrastructure. The integration of real-time cargo tracking and data accuracy improvements have allowed Mumbai to become a model hub for AI-enabled air cargo operations, reflecting Kale’s effectiveness in addressing critical sector challenges.
Kale’s system architecture is designed for scalability and adaptability, built on a modular, API-driven platform that integrates seamlessly with various airport IT environments and regulatory frameworks. Whether serving small regional airports or major international gateways, the company’s cloud-native infrastructure supports dynamic scaling and continuous learning through machine learning models trained on large industry datasets. This approach ensures that Kale’s AI solutions remain responsive and relevant across diverse cargo management needs, including airline cargo operations, customs clearance, and community collaboration.
Emphasising a balanced partnership between technology and human expertise, Kale positions AI as an empowering tool that automates routine tasks such as documentation, tracking, and anomaly detection, allowing human operators to focus on strategic decision-making and customer service. The real-time insights delivered by the system enable faster, data-driven decisions, fostering collaboration between humans and machines through intuitive interfaces and continuous improvement.
Kale’s flagship Air Cargo Community System (ACS) exemplifies its AI innovation, connecting diverse stakeholders, airports, ground handlers, freight forwarders, airlines, customs, and terminal operators, into a unified digital ecosystem. Key features include AI-driven decision intelligence for predicting gate congestion, dynamic resource planning for shipment volumes and terminal occupancy, smart documentation using OCR and natural language processing, and enhanced end-to-end cargo visibility with real-time updates. This integrated approach supports reduced delays, improved throughput, better accuracy, and a seamless cargo terminal experience.
Globally, Kale’s influence extends well beyond India. In 2020, Siemens Ltd. India became the first company worldwide to integrate its systems directly with Kale’s ACS at Mumbai International Airport, enhancing real-time shipment visibility and milestone tracking. Such integrations demonstrate Kale’s role as a connector and enabler, fostering closer communication and efficient information flow among logistics stakeholders.
Additionally, the company has driven digital transformation at newer airports such as the recently opened Goa International Airport, where its GALAXY cargo management system achieved 100 percent digitalisation of domestic cargo operations. This development supports sustainable cargo handling and positions Goa as a future Indian cargo hub, reinforcing Kale’s commitment to innovation that supports environmental goals.
With a client base exceeding 5,500 organisations and offices strategically placed in India, UAE, Kenya, the Netherlands, and North America, Kale Logistics Solutions commands deep domain expertise and a collaborative, customer-centric approach. Its digital platforms offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions that streamline cargo flows, enable real-time data exchange, and promote paperless coordination across multimodal logistics networks, including air, maritime, and land transport.
Kale’s AI-enabled solutions not only elevate operational efficiency but also advance transparency, trust, and sustainability in cargo logistics. By combining cutting-edge artificial intelligence with practical industry knowledge and human judgement, Kale is truly pioneering the future of smarter, faster, and more connected skies for global air cargo operations.
