FlightView's OnDemand product

In an effort to serve the needs of the small ground transportation market, FlightView has moved forward with its OnDemand product launch. For as low as $50 a month, OnDemand will offer a more affordable way to access accurate, real-time schedule verification and flight information to small ground transportation operators.

FlightView has partnered with leading scheduling software providers in integrating this new tiered-access plan into their scheduling systems. Operators of all sizes can now verify flights while taking a reservation and monitor flight status when dispatching vehicles, all from within their scheduling software.

James Moseley, President of TripTracker, states, "OnDemand's quick verification response feature has saved our customers untold number of hours. In addition, its affordability is well-positioned for the small users, so even companies with five-car fleets can avail themselves of this tool." Eric Schoneberger, President of Linahan Limousine located in Windham, NH remarks, "Given the size of my fleet, if OnDemand prevents me from making three scheduling mistakes, it will definitely be worth it for me."

OnDemand technology regulates access to real-time flight data such that it allows customers to purchase usage credits using an online payment system, such as PayPal. It is a Pay-As-You-Go plan similar to pre-paid phone cards where customers purchase access to flight information in varying amounts of credit and time through a customer account access portal. This way, customers will only pay for what they need and will have the ability to independently manage their purchase and usage of the product.

"We�ve been providing integrated flight status to larger ground transportation companies for many years and we have been committed to providing the same to small operators who grapple with the same issues. OnDemand will enable them to have control over their operational and fiscal efficiency," says Mary Flynn, Vice President of RLM Software.
