Automate FWB message generation and CASS charge reconciliation

KabyTech generates compliant FWB/16 messages from booking data, reconciles CASS charges against RTD/CVD sections, and provides per-route cargo revenue intelligence — all without manual intervention.

The Problem

Manual FWB and CASS processes leak revenue

Before: Manual FWB Generation & CASS

  • FWB messages manually composed from booking data — agents must know all 29 FWB/16 sections and IATA formatting rules
  • Incomplete FWB sections (missing RTD rates, empty OCI fields) cause downstream rejections at destination
  • CASS billing discrepancies discovered weeks after settlement — too late to dispute charges effectively
  • Per-route cargo revenue analysis requires manual spreadsheet compilation from dozens of AWBs
  • Agent-submitted FWB quality varies wildly — no automated validation before transmission

After: KabyTech Automation

  • FWB/16 messages auto-generated from booking data with all 29 sections populated and validated
  • IATA format compliance checked before transmission — zero formatting rejections
  • CASS charges reconciled in real-time by comparing RTD/CVD sections against published tariffs
  • Per-route cargo revenue dashboards generated automatically from parsed AWB data
  • Inbound agent FWB quality scored and flagged — incomplete sections auto-detected before acceptance

The Solution

From booking to compliant FWB/16 in under 2 seconds

KabyTech takes your booking data and automatically assembles a complete FWB/16 message with all 29 sections — shipper, consignee, agent, routing, rate description, charge declarations, special handling, OCI regulatory data, and more. Every field is validated against IATA Cargo-IMP standards.

For inbound FWB messages from agents, KabyTech scores completeness and flags missing sections before you accept the booking. Incomplete RTD or CVD sections that would cause CASS billing disputes are caught at intake.

CASS Reconciliation

Catch billing discrepancies before CASS settlement

KabyTech automatically compares your published cargo tariffs against the RTD (Rate Description) and CVD (Charge Declaration) sections of every AWB. When the CASS statement arrives, discrepancies are flagged immediately — not weeks later when it is too late to dispute.

Per-route revenue reports are generated automatically, showing total tonnage, average yield per kilogram, top agents by volume, and month-over-month trends. Your cargo revenue team gets actionable intelligence without manual spreadsheet work.
