Alerting and Notifications

Hundreds types of alerts can be established to warn of any operational conditions, providing users with a comprehensive view of the operation in real time. Airline can precisely customize types of alert and conditions for each user group to make sure no user is disturbed by irrelevant information.
Regardless of an individual’s role in the airline, with S4A Smart COMM alerts can be established to warn of any operational conditions, providing users with a comprehensive view of the operation in real time. Key examples of events for ground and station personnel are flight cancellations, aircraft changes and delays; for staff concerned with flight watch, alerts such as en-route turbulence and altitude variance can be established. Pilots can be informed via ACARS about changing weather or aerodrome conditions. One can precisely customize types of alerts and conditions for each user group to make sure no user is disturbed by irrelevant information. S4A Smart COMM is equipped with a powerful and intuitive assignment builder tool for managing and maintaining the system functions, access rights and alert routing capabilities. With S4A Smart COMM, you give your airport, maintenance, departure control, SOC, STOC, operations or back office users a single tool for complete operational awareness.

Interactive Gantt bar display

COMM

Effective filtering of information

Too much information can be as big a problem as too little. S4A Smart COMM filters information based on staff responsibilities and operations.
Only business role relevant alerts or messages are delivered to users, filtering out unwanted or irrelevant information.
Business roles, assignments and alerting rules are fully customizable for all airline business units and departments, allowing employees to focus on whatever falls within their scope.
