More than 7500 pupils and visitors from Backnang and vicinity took the chance on the 2nd and 3d of March to gain insights of various professions at the job fair „Fokus Beruf“. All in all 630 professions and study programs were on show.

CDA presented and explained the opportunity of dooing an apprenticeship in information technology or study IT. Those interested could get information straight from the horses’ mouth about our jobs and what we do.

The effort proved worth it. Even though we have been successfully training people in this profession since 2003, we outlined the benefits of learning and working at CDA so well, that a number of people were motivated to directly apply to CDA.

Since the 2nd half of 2017, CDA MailSuite is in use at AirFrance KLM for its airmail business.

As a backbone, MailSystem  supports operational monitoring, tracking and messaging activities across the entire network. MailAccounting provides contract data management and the invoicing functions. The detailed data from the entire chain is available for reporting and analytics.

After 3 years, in September 2017, the recertification was due. In preparation of this, we switched our quality management system to the new norm version DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.

CDA’s football team participated successfully in a local company football tournament in Aspach.

It was played not only for a good cause but also for fun and with a high entertainment value.

Therefore also the accompanying fans really enjoyed themselves.

Mr. Markus Sager has been on board since 1st February and was appointed as a managing director on the 21st of April 2016 with a view to strengthening the management of CDA.

This step has been taken with a long-term view towards the future growth and development of the company.

We are delighted to have Mr. Sager as a leading figure, bringing with him more than 20 years of experience in the software industry.

In welcoming Mr. Sager to his new position, we kindly request your continued support as you place your trust in him and in our company.

The security screening information can be imported from CARDIT-messages , entered from paper documents (Consignment Security Declaration – CSD) or configured as local screening method. From the very first scan of a post receptacle its security status will be known throughout the system. CSD documents can be generated at any time at various aggregation levels (receptacle, consignment, flight).

The PeP-Manager application is now also available is a web-based solution. The system can now also be operated with the Oracle 12 database and in the new version the automatic scanning processes also run with Windows Server 2012.

CDA has completely overhauled the complete IT infrastructure in collaboration with an external service provider in order to safeguard administration, support and development activities. This huge project covered the entire IT landscape including servers, storage, network technology and IT security.

ILPost supports INTERCONNECT for letters, parcels and EMS to advance the rapidly expanding e-commerce market. It has been introduced at all levels of production through to billing and exchange of messages.

For the exchange of item and customs information the UPU introduced the M33 standard. With it the postal operators can inform each other about items before they are actually shipped. In addition to the cost savings from reduced manual work for registering item attribute data, the new standard also supports new security processes and regulations. With the latest ILPost version our customers  have the ability to send and receive ITMATT messages.

Like every year our Customer Workshop for postal companies took place beginning of November. With 20 participants, this year's participation was particularly high. The workshop has established itself as a valuable platform for the postal operators to discuss the latest postal innovations with our CDA experts.

This year, among others, important issues such as ITMATT, Interconnect and new UPU standards were raised and discussed during the workshop.

We thank the participants for the interesting and active workshop and are looking forward to next year to welcome our customers back in Backnang.

Many of our customers were in Backnang  in end of July 2015 to discuss about Airmail Security. An entire day was devoted to the discussion of the process and requirements.
