With the Forecast function, the forwarding agent sends the AWB data with further shipment information to FAIR@Link. This data forms the basis for the TPA and is also required for slot booking. The FAIR@Link app can be used to determine the geo-positions for incoming trucks and thus determine whether the vehicles will arrive punctually at the handling agent. The handling agent's processing is also extremely transparent, as the forwarding agent can receive live information (time stamp) on all steps. The export monitoring process concludes when the check-in message comes from the handling agent.

Using the Forecast function, the freight forwarder sends a list of expected shipments to FAIR@Link as early as possible, providing the AWBs and further information. FAIR@Link also receives the flight manifest data (FFM data), including the AWBs for all shipments on board, from the airlines as soon as loading at the departure airport is completed. The AWB data is the key which FAIR@Link uses to create an association with the relevant FFM to inform the forwarder of the flight status, cargo and loading structure prior to arrival. With the status information that the aircraft has landed, the customs and pick-up processes can be organized, including the slot booking. On the import dashboard, the handling agent's time stamp makes the handling process at the door transparent and traceable for the forwarder.
