MK Airlines: Crewing Suite

C# / .net · MS SQL · CAP 371

Managing a crew-base in the dynamic world of chartered air freight is a tricky undertaking. With a growing fleet and more stringent flying time limits, MK needed a sytem to assist with the escalating complexity of managing their crew.

Information Logistics developed a solution coupling a drag & drop timeline-based .net GUI to a FTL rule-processing logic core on the MS SQL servers. The system is currently in the final stages of garnering UK CAA approval for its compliance with the CAP 371.

MXit SMS Notification

Jabber/XMPP · Python · PostgreSQL · SMS

MXit is a Jabber instant messaging solution for mobile phones. Java client software on handsets opens a GPRS connection to transmit the compressed XML XMPP streams.

Information Logistics developed a system for MXit to send ad-sponsored SMS messages to alert users that offline messages have been received. A jabber agent receives notification requests, pairs them to sponsors, then sends SMS messages to users via an HTTP API. The system has been successfully tested in a three month public beta sponsored by Information Logistics.

Velocity Workflow Management

C# / .net · SOAP/XMPP · SQL

Velocity is our exciting new workflow management system, currently under development. It's a powerful project management tool, giving managers an up-to-the-minute view of the status of their projects, and providing employees with a roadmap of upcoming tasks.

By using a bottom-up information feedback system, conventional project management is literally turned on its head. Instead of missed deadlines, get realistic estimates. Cut down on those "where are we?" meetings by accessing dynamic progress and velocity reports.

MK Airlines Commercial System

Zope/Python · W3C/javascript · MS SQL · Jeppesen

MK Airlines needed a system to assist with planning their complex schedule of cargo flights. We recommended the Zope application server for its rapid turn-around time, scalability and ease-of-use. Interfacing with their existing Microsoft® SQL Server and Access '97 databases, we developed a system that simplifies the process of booking cargo, calculating costs and scheduling flights to a few mouse-clicks and key-strokes.
