Abstract: A logistics management system (LMS) may generate routes dynamically without the overhead of any pre-defined specifications of airport to connect between origin and destination airports. Further, the LMS's route construction function may take into account all the available flights segments, the shipment characteristics such as bulk/pallet/container, shipment product codes, and/or minimum connection times. A method may include receiving a request to create an allotment reservation having an origin and a destination. The method may also include receiving and assigning at least one route generation attribute; receiving available routes that have the same origin and destination as the reservation request; and sorting routes based upon at least one sort order.

Abstract: A logistics management system (LMS) may include receiving, at a server, a reservation request from a requestor for an allotment on an air carrier's cargo hold for a designated route and date range; assigning, by the server, an allotment category for the requested allotment; generating, by the server, an allotment rate for the requested allotment based, at least in part, upon the designated route and the allotment category; and communicating, from the server to the requestor, the generated allotment rate.

Abstract: A logistics management system (LMS) may include receiving, at a server, a reservation request from a requestor for a booking on an air carrier's cargo hold for a designated route; generating, by the server, a price quote for the booking based, at least in part, upon the designated route and booking characteristics; and receiving a hurdle rate for the route; and comparing the price quote to the hurdle rate to determine whether to confirm the booking to ship the cargo.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for filtering queued booking and air waybills in a centralized system. Various embodiments of the invention may reserve bookings from multiple sources and generate air waybills associated with the bookings. The bookings and air waybills may be aggregated in a centralized system and filtered according to several attributes. The integration of a centralized system may allow filtered bookings may be worked on by a user of any facility at any time. As a result, workloads may be distributed between several facilities, thus providing an efficient means for managing bookings and air waybills in a timely manner.

Abstract: A logistics management system (LMS) may include receiving a request from a requestor to change a booking on an air carrier's cargo hold for a designated route; assessing a penalty fee upon the requestor for changing the booking.
