Fujitsu Services has entered into a pioneering flexible contract with the new low cost airline, Mango, to supply its aircraft and crew scheduling solution.
The PegaSys system incorporates 16 user modules and four system modules that assist the airline in planning and tracking both the aircraft and crew resources. All modules function off a single centralised database, providing the client with a consolidated view of the airline from the various departments.
Automatically and transparent to the user, PegaSys performs the legacy tasks of airline integration. These tasks include amongst others the publication of the schedule and the seamless management of code share partner schedules.
Constant system validation of the various rules, such as legal and regulatory requirements, together with system alerts makes the operational tracking a much simpler task allowing users to manage the operations by exception.
After many years of partnering with other airlines, Fujitsu worked closely with Mango to develop a product that would provide an effective and affordable solution.
Nico Bezuidenhout, chief executive, Mango said, "Fujitsu were able to offer a fixed cost pricing model where the cost of the solution is directly linked to individual assets, allowing for effective expense reduction and lower cost. It is encouraging that suppliers are able to adapt products and solutions offerings to meet the needs of individual enterprises."
Fujitsu Services promote flexible contracts as one of their five core key differentiators throughout EMEA, "Gone are the days of 10 to 20% growth rate in the IT industry, in order to truly deliver against customers expectations, organisations need to be innovative when partnering with their customers.
"Being in tune with customers needs and working closely with them to understand the demands they face is key to Fujitsu's strategy across Europe, Middle East and Africa, we look forward to working closely with Mango as we have for many years with other domestic airlines," said Elvin de Kock, managing director, Fujitsu Services.
