Real-time Database• Updated as each scan activity is performed and each message is received.

Sample alert showing a hot bag upon scanning a bag tag. The baggage handler is informed that this bag is a priority for delivery now.

In addition to hot bags, you’ll receive the information you need to make critical decisions.

Know that a bag is too late no matter what, so that other bags that can be delivered in time will take priority.

Know at departure time whether it’s better to delay take off a few minutes to load a number of late bags, or know that it’s better to take off now if you’re only waiting for one or two.

ChairTRAK

Experience lost revenue due to

- Slow notification of need - Slow employee response time - Loss of passenger paperwork - Fines for ADA non-compliance

ChairTRAK

Combines these data: - SSIM flight schedules - Movement messages - BSM/PSM feeds - Manual requests - Boarding passes - Location data from RFID tags

to get many of the sameadvantages as InterBAG.

ChairTRAK

Slow notification of need:

Sometimes an arriving passenger needing wheelchairassistance isn’t known about until they or familymembers come searching for aide upon arriving atthe gate.

ChairTRAK can monitor incoming Passenger StatusMessages, alert you hours in advance, and evenautomatically schedule and dispatch assistance sothat the chair and attendant will already be waitingat the gate.

ChairTRAK

Slow employee response time:

Typically attendants must report to the dispatch officeto receive their next assignment, which might end upbeing quite some distance away. This is non-productivetime which could be put to better use.

ChairTRAK not only allows assignments to be sent tothe attendant’s mobile scanning device, but will alsoschedule attendants based on who is closest to the nextpassenger. This dramatically reduces idle time.

ChairTRAK

Loss of passenger paperwork:

Billing is based on the attendant submitting thepassenger’s paperwork, usually boarding passinformation and ticket number. These are collectedand submitted to the airline for reimbursement. Ifthe paperwork is lost or unavailable there is no reimbursement.

ChairTRAK’s mobile scanners are used to capture thisinformation when the passenger is picked up and transmit it to the central office. The billing records aresummarized by carrier and invoices generated, withproof of service.

ChairTRAK

Fines for ADA non-compliance:

ADA Regulations require that the attendant remain withthe passenger at all times. The fines for non-compliancecan be large.

ChairTRAK location tracks both the attendant and thepassenger wheelchair in real-time. Evidence can beproduced proving that the attendant remained with thepatient. The system can also send real-time notices ofany discrepancy as it happens, alerting supervisors andeven dispatching additional staff to the location shouldthe passenger be unattended for even a few moments.

ChairTRAK

Other advantages:

- Monitor attendants to make sure they are available and staying with the job.

- Passenger access allows concerned family members to bring up a map of the airport and find out where their loved one is in real-time.

- Allow an attendant to page another attendant should the passenger need to use a bathroom and not be the same sex as the attendant.

- Automatically send alerts for unexpected situations such as out of bounds, too fast or too slow movement.

ChairTRAK

• Summary

• Save you time and money by reducing wasted employee time.

• Improve response time.• Avoid lost paperwork.• Improve customer experience.• Find where the problems are and correct them.• Know where your passengers are and make

that knowledge work for you.
