The agreement was signed within the framework of the II International Forum of Digital Technologies in the field of transport and logistics “Digital Transportation — 2024”.
Pulkovo is a leader of innovations in the aviation industry following the results of the NAIS Award in 2024. In 2023, the airport served 20.4 million passengers, had the second largest passenger traffic in the country and became the only airport with the annual passenger traffic of over 15 million people, exceeding the figures of 2019. The main operator of Pulkovo since 2010 has been Northern Capital Gateway company, which, on the basis of a public-private partnership, manages the airport and its reconstruction and development project.
IBS and Pulkovo plan to cooperate in the following areas:
“Pulkovo is one of the largest and dynamically developing air transport hubs in Russia. Our joint efforts allow us to offer solutions that can change the quality of people’s lives and help ensure the territorial unity of Russia, increase commercial efficiency and safety of passenger and freight transportation. The IBS profile teams will share their accumulated expertise and experience in implementing import substitution programs in transport and logistics. We are proud that together we will make efforts to achieve the technological independence of the air transport industry,” commented Dmitry Vasilev, Director of Strategic Programs at IBS.
“Northern Capital Gateway, the operator of Pulkovo Airport, is in the active phase of import substitution of the ERP system in partnership with IBS. This cooperation is aimed not only at ensuring the operation of the large aviation enterprise, but also at additional optimization of the processes. Replacement of the former solutions actually gave an impetus to start automating a number of tasks. At the same time, the integration project is being implemented in a short time — 1 year, and our partner maintains the set pace and work scope,” noted Olga Korochkina, Chief Financial Officer of Northern Capital Gateway LLC.
The main areas of innovative development of IBS Group in the transport and logistics industry of the Russian Federation are: development of technologies for weight and dimensional control of cargo transport during movement and a system for monitoring the driver’s physical condition, control of speed parameters and routes, monitoring of electronic tags, cargo tracing, end-to-end multimodal logistics system, electronic cargo labeling, door-to-door tracing, a social platform for long-distance trips (interest clubs, client analytics) and other technologies.
