Universal Integrates Feasibility-IQ® Mission Planning App Inside Portside’s BART Scheduling System

Houston (May 11, 2023) – Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. announced the integration of its leading mission planning and intelligence app, Feasibility-IQ, with the BART scheduling software system, a product of Portside, Inc. This integration provides BART users with easy access to real-time planning intelligence for their business aviation trips.

“We’re excited to work with Portside to seamlessly integrate our mission planning expertise with the BART scheduling system,” said Guido Groeschel, Executive Vice President, Digital Product Management, Universal. “This integration provides BART users quick access to the same trip feasibility intelligence used by Universal’s international mission planning experts, directly through BART’s user interface.”

As a result of the integration, BART users are able to transmit their trip details to Feasibility-IQ at the push of a button within the BART system, reducing manual inputs and streamlining the trip research and planning process. Users can instantly review detailed requirements for their missions and access advanced trip support intelligence.

Feasibility-IQ equips flight departments with comprehensive, vetted information on customs procedures, logistics, crew and passenger entry requirements, facilities, peak periods, location trends, and more for thousands of airports worldwide. It significantly improves the efficiency of flight departments by saving hours of research time per trip leg and equipping operators with intelligence previously only available through Universal Trip Support.

More than a platform - what really makes Portside the aviation technology powerhouse?

Portside is the integrated hub for aviation technology powering intelligence, communication, workflows, and automation. It means a faster, clearer, and smarter way to manage your daily aircraft operation.

Automated, seamless data management (exchange)

Aircraft operation data management begins with the aggregation of data from multiple sources. Portside's Platform allows aircraft operators to extract every last bit of value from their current data by connecting to your existing systems with automated workflows. Having received actionable data in real-time enables our customers to make informed decision-making. Portside products allow aviation flight departments to collect, analyze, and present data in a way that makes it easier to understand and identify patterns. With out of the box visualizations, graphs, and charts, decision-makers can analyze trends and make informed decisions based on the insights derived from the data.

Next-generation client portal

Give your clients a single point of entry into their aircraft and flight information. Portside provides the next generation of client portals, a more secure and intuitive way to manage all necessary owner engagements. Our aircraft Owner Portal is customized to each individual owner or stakeholder and can show their schedule, finance, and/or maintenance data all in one place. Based on their permissions, aircraft owners can also review pertinent metrics, stats and detailed reports. This also facilitates better client satisfaction as it can enable real-time communication and document sharing, making it easier to share and gather input from all stakeholders.

Holistic value through integrations and partnerships

We have built our platform to be as flexible as possible to provide the highest utility to our customers. Not only do we integrate with the majority of systems used in business aviation today, but we also integrate with in-house systems built by our customers.
