What's New This Release?

Takeflite V.5.0 New Takeflite Login Screen and Desktop Icon
As part of the Takeflite re-brand we are rolling out new login screens for Takeflite Ops Manager. You will have noticed the new login screen with the release of Takeflite V.5.0 last week, new features may be added to this screen over time and we will keep you updated. We are looking to improve our user experience, so your feedback is always welcomed.


MyAccount Update - New Agent & Passenger Login Screen
Last week we released the first phase of our MyAccount project.
Phase one was to redesign the Agent and Passenger Login screen to reflect the brand style of your airline website so agents and passengers had a greater user experience. We are now working through the roll out plan to update everyone's Agent and Passenger Login screens and we will let you know when this work will commence.

MyAccount will move into phase two of development over the next few months with a focus on improving the type of passenger data collected through the booking process. Our aim is to help you with passenger service and provide new ways for you to communicate and gain insight into your passenger market.

Here is an example of how the new Agent and Passenger Login screen looks within MyAccount.



Nested Inventory/ Revenue Management Now Online
Last week we launched phase one of the new Nested Inventory/ Revenue Management functionality within Takeflite. We are currently monitoring it in market and will be building additional functionality over the next few months based on customer and passenger feedback.
We will also update you with some user stories over the next few newsletters so you can evaluate if Nested Inventory/Revenue Management is an applicable revenue growth strategy for your airline.

See below the desktop view for passengers offering a variety of fare options, visit our blog for more information and to see how the mobile responsive view looks to passengers too.



Online Freight Tracking
For those currently using our Online Freight Tracking functionality you should notice a change in its visual appearance after our recent version release. We have started to adjust the user interface to be more intuitive to the needs of our clients and hopefully make it easier to collect and track freight data. Any airline can use the Online Freight Tracking functionality so if you are interested to find out more please connect with our team through support@takeflite.freshdesk.com
