Scheduling software specialist SchedAero is launching a new charter quoting tool at the NBAA show this week. According to the Avinode subsidiary, SchedAero Quotation allows charter operators to create client quotes and proposals more quickly by avoiding the need to enter data across multiple pages. The system, which is part of the web-based SchedAero aircraft and crew scheduling software, calculates the price in real-time as the itinerary is developed.

“SchedAero Quotation is the fastest quote-building tool on the market,” said SchedAero business manager Johan Sjöberg. “Many operators spend all day generating quotes; with this new tool they can spend the minimum amount of time on the quote, leaving more time to follow up with the client.”

The new software can be accessed via any smart electronic device. In the future, SchedAero intends to offer the new tool as a separate system that can be used by operators with other scheduling software.

In addition to the new Quotation tool, SchedAero now also features multiple pricing profiles that can be customized. Operators can pre-set profiles based on a requested aircraft’s hourly rate and include any discount that a particular client may have been allowed. Pricing profiles, such as seasonal variations, can also be set up in the system.

“We are pleased to have switched to SchedAero to manage our flight quotes,” said Vertis Aviation chief operating officer Neil Turnbull. “It’s proved to be a real time-saver and the option to completely personalize quotes for each client is a true benefit.”
