USP’s:
Data accuracy – This startup uses each operator’s proprietary data to ensure accuracy and completeness, e.g. by including fixed costs in the calculations in a dynamic way. Real time quoting capabilities – General aviation operators need to digitalize their data and be able to access it in real time to generate reliable quotes that help the business manage profitability and achieve their strategic goals. Automated quoting process – Operators run with small teams. By automating the quote process, with reliable digitalized information, they are able to respond quickly and accurately. Market disruptor – Due to real time component of cost analysis, other similar offers focus on using generically available information from global databased ignoring actual costs an operator has as well as excluding fixed costs. This startup overcomes this. |
