Pentafox Centralizes Flight Operations Management with the RedCap Platform
See how Pentafox digitized asset tracking for ground operations to improve safety, compliance, and efficiency.
Background & Story
Airline flight operations involve continuous coordination between ground staff, operations teams, and management. Earlier, critical information such as flight logs, delays, ground handling activities, and operational reports were maintained across multiple tools and manual records. This fragmentation resulted in slow communication, inconsistent data, and increased chances of errors. RedCap was developed to centralize all flight operation data into a single digital platform. By consolidating operational records, automating notifications, and standardizing reporting, the system improves visibility, accuracy, and real-time communication across airline teams.
