Airport IT Solutions - AODB, System Integration, Operational & Commercial Process Optimisation

Reducing costs and increasing revenues has always been a focus in all business matters, and the highly competitive aviation market is definitely no exception. Optimising business procedures, cutting excess costs and strengthening profitable fields of activities are the key factors here. Nevertheless, before you can swing into action, a thorough analysis of all aspects of operational and commercial processes is absolutely essential.

topsystem’s IT suites for airports and ground handlers both offer comprehensive solutions for planning, controlling and recording business operations. Both systems feature a central database (AODB) with an information broker for unlimited data exchange with manifold systems (IATA messaging, ATC, financial accounting etc.). Operational modules include flight scheduling, scales of fees & charges, service catalogue and contract management, service recording and a billing system. To make the most of all invaluable information accruing from the extensive data collected during all processes, the IT suites naturally also features a powerful reporting tool for statistical evaluation and analysis.

The reporting software can be used to generate evaluations like revenue statistics, airline rankings, station reports and much more. Clearly arranged tables and graphics can be created in various templates and issued in a variety of formats (e.g. PDF, CSV, HTML). Sophisticated tools like, for example, a ‘drag & drop’ function for generating ad-hoc statistics combining any data fields, or an optional template generator for customising reports to specific needs are also available. Being a purely web-based application, access to the report generator is possible by any authorised person with a simple Internet browser without the need of local installations. Automated distribution of reports via email is also included.

Thus, all data for management information as well as commercial and operational evaluation can be easily yet thoroughly analysed to help improve business performance and allow optimal strategic planning.
