`iFly' to quicken customisation

Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : IBS Software Services, a provider of software solutions to travel, transportation and logistics industries, has implemented `iFly' a new product for managing staff travel requirements of airlines for South African Airways.

Huge potential

V. K. Mathews, chairman and managing director of the IBS group, in a press release here on Tuesday, said that staff travel was an area where there was huge potential for saving, especially in terms of productive work hours of employees. "The generic nature of the software helped us quicken our pace for customisation during implementation," he said.

Features

Mr. Mathews said travel concessions were one of the most sought-after benefits for airline staff. `iFly' is a web-based solution built on new generation technologies that automates the airline staff travel process. It facilitates a self-serviced environment for staff to use the concessions and make bookings directly through its comprehensive booking module. The rules manager module of iFly helps staff travel administrators to centrally define and maintain travel policies and rules.

Right system

Meanwhile, SAA CIO, Mike Re said that selection of the right staff travel management system was an essential criterion. The implementation of the new system had generated a steady increase in the number of staff bookings with a much more simplified and manageable solution, he said.
