“We are thrilled with this honor not only on behalf of the officers and staff of AIR21 but for all Filipinos. To be in the list of regional finalists, which showcased the advanced tech initiatives of multinational giants in the Asia-Pacific region, went beyond any expectations we had. I credit the vision of our Chairman, Mr. Bert Lina, the work of our AIR21 analytics and operations team led by Vice President Gloria Estabaya, and our tech partners eKonek Pilipinas, Inc. and Dell-EMC for making this happen,” said AIR21 President Reuben Pangan.

AIR21 began its transformation in 2013 when it implemented the automated shipment tracking and business analytics system, eliminating the need for manual service reporting. This system, when integrated with the core processes, led to increased productivity in all areas of the business—from effective delivery routing, scheduling, volume forecasting, and efficient billing cycles to productive human resource planning.

The AIR21 Command Center monitors and assesses the day-to-day nationwide operations, allowing the company to make decisions faster and in real time, and offering greater flexibility in asset management. This in turn enables the company to develop preemptive solutions for short and long-term challenges, and achieve full optimization of its delivery business.
