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.
“Offering a broad range of integrations has always been a cornerstone of the BART product suite, and this important integration adds to the many tools and capabilities already included in the BART platform. said Alek Vernitsky, CEO of Portside. “We are excited to work with Universal to make feasibility assessments easier for our customers.”
