Pentafox Digitizes Alcohol Testing Compliance with the Breathalyzer Platform for Aviation Operations
See how Pentafox digitized alcohol testing for aviation and ground teams to improve accuracy, compliance, visibility, and operational efficiency.

Background & Story
In aviation and ground operations, workplace safety is paramount. Alcohol testing is a critical safeguard, but traditional paper-based recordkeeping often led to errors, inefficiencies, and compliance risks. Breathalyzer was developed as a digital platform to manage and track alcohol testing for aviation and ground staff. By replacing error-prone paper records with a centralized, auditable system, it ensures workplace safety, transparency, and compliance. The solution streamlines workflows, automates notifications, and provides managers with clear access to test histories—reducing manual effort and strengthening accountability
