How we moved SchedulePlanner, SmartOps, CrewLogic and CrewConnect to the browser: one connected airline suite, from schedule to crew room, with all the depth.
In late 2017 we faced an honest question. Our software was feature-rich and competitive, but it was built on technology that was holding it back. To give our customers everything modern technology now offers, we knew we had to move to the browser.
After careful internal planning, we began that migration in 2019 with a clear brief: make everything more intuitive and easier to use, without losing any of the capability our customers rely on, including our integrated database. That balance was the hard part. It's easy to simplify software by taking things away; we wanted to keep the depth and remove the friction.
The journey
Our CrewConnect crew app launched in 2019, followed by extensive REST API functionality in 2020. In 2023 we released the browser versions of SchedulePlanner for aircraft scheduling and SmartOps for operations control. And in 2026 the journey came together with the browser release of CrewLogic, our crew rostering and compliance software.
What that means day to day
The result is a connected suite that follows your operation from schedule to crew room.
In SchedulePlanner, planners create and edit flights, allocate them to tails, manage slots alongside historical slot data, and test aircraft schedule scenarios before committing. Airport curfews, code shares and local and UTC timezones are built in, and IATA, ACARS and email messaging keep your schedule talking to the outside world.
On the day of operation, SmartOps takes over, presenting live data for managing your flights so your operations controllers can make decisions quickly, reduce delays and keep the schedule on track.
CrewLogic turns that schedule into rosters that are legal and cost-efficient, checking crew rules, qualifications, recency, visas and training as rosters are built rather than afterwards. Hotel and deadheading bookings, pairing costs, duty swaps and crew requests all sit in one place.
CrewConnect then puts it all in your crew's pocket: rosters and changes, briefings, check-in, flight logs and GenDec reports, WhatsApp flight groups, automatic calendar sync, and an offline mode that keeps working when the signal doesn't.
The people behind it
None of this happens without people. We're lucky to have a brilliant team of developers working alongside aviation experts who know airline operations from the inside. Together they've built a suite we're genuinely proud of, and we're now bringing it to our customers and the wider market.
See it in Budapest
The suite makes its worldwide debut at the IATA Slot Conference in Budapest. Come and find us on Stand 77; we'd love to show you what it can do.
We don't see this as the finish line. We'll keep developing and improving the suite so it continues to deliver outstanding performance for our customers. If you're ready for something truly modern, flexible and dynamic, we'd love to hear from you.
Prepared to fly.
