Airport Bureau Systems Limited (ABS) was established as an agent for twenty companies (airlines, handling companies, agents with bonded premises) to enter into a Software Development Agreement with BT (now Syntegra) to design, write and implement the ABS2000 system and for ABS Limited to subsequently provide a maintenance and support service. ABS2000 was completed and installed into live operation in December 1993. Its user base has since extended to other companies engaged in cargo shed operations in the UK and overseas. The system was upgraded to be browser based and re-launched as ABS2020 a few years ago.
ABS Limited has fifteen of the original participants as shareholders including airlines, handling companies and agents. ABS staff maintain and support the ABS2020 system and charges are allocated to users according to function use and size of business. ABS also support and manage an ABS2020 Bureau service using a hosted solution to support multiple customers.
ABS Limited is a non-profit making organisation that acts on behalf of its shareholders and founder members.
An upgrade to Release 4.2 of ABS2020 is now available and is scheduled to be rolled out to all Customer sites during June 2011. Find out more...»
