Reduce the drag in your process

Portside is a scalable product that can be leveraged by aircraft operators of every size and type. When a new customer is deployed, they are getting a deployment strategy specific to their account, integrations into their existing platforms (like scheduling and finance) and access to features such as our branded owner portal, our automated reporting & invoicing, customer billing , aircraft budgets and much more. You also gain access to integrations with our partners (such as MRO Insider, Global Appearance Partners, VAT IT USA, Monarc and more).

Designed for you

Each aircraft operator has a different set of operating procedures and processes. Most processes are a product of having to "work around" an obstacle. Where operators are normally forced to adapt to technology, Portside adapts to you. Standard accounts are deployed with an allotment of customization hours (included in membership) that can be used for anything from automated reporting to new widgets.

Examples of reduced drag - enhanced process

The average aircraft operator dedicates between 4-6 hours per aircraft per month for reporting and month end statements / billing. By collecting the reporting requirements for each individual owner, we apply a logic statement to the raw data, and automate all of the month end reporting. Each owners get's the specific reports they need in the format they want through a traditional PDF or though our digital owner portal.

The average operator re-enters trip data at least 5 per trip i.e. into scheduling, into maintenance, into flight planning, into flight logs and into finance. This doesn't count re-entering trip data to external vendors for fuel and trip support. By connecting all of your moving pieces, Portside can save you between 1-2 hours per trip performed.

Eliminate repetitive administrative tasks

Your teams and subject matter experts are the best resources you have. Image what they would be capable of when they weren't bogged down and burdened by repetitive administrative tasks.
