Aircrew staffing company CrewBlast has announced its software as a service (SaaS) business model, which it describes as a "transformative development" in aviation crew management. With this move, the company aims to improve how operators manage and communicate with their internal contractor databases by streamlining the crew-placement process.
CrewBlast's SaaS model allows aircraft operators to integrate their internal contractor databases directly into the platform. According to the company, this facilitates instant communication, enabling operators to send immediate job notifications to available flight crewmembers. As a result, the response time for contract crew placement is greatly reduced, it noted.
Features of the company's SaaS platform include an intuitive interface that simplifies the management of internal contractor databases, instantaneous notifications, and enhanced productivity for logistics teams. The flexible subscription model of the service, with monthly fees based on the operator's size, ensures accessibility for businesses of all sizes.
While operators can use their internal databases for crew management, they also maintain access to CrewBlast’s extensive global database of pilots and flight attendants, offering a comprehensive solution for all crew placement needs.
Timothy Griffin, founder and CEO of CrewBlast, commented, “Our new SAAS business model empowers operators to take control of their crew placement process, significantly reducing placement times and enhancing overall productivity.”
