SkySuite Products

SkySuite is a collection of products that can work independently or together in a fully integrated suite. The menu options/links you can see will depend on which products you are licensed to use and also the user role that you have been assigned.

SkyLog

SkyLog is a solution to manage Airline owned assets and it covers Demand Forecasting, Material Requirement Planning (MRP), Purchase Contract and Order Management, Inventory Management (Distributions Centres/ Warehouses and the Station Network), Station Provisioning and Network Balancing. SkyLog integrates via EDI interfaces and standard XML messages with multiple Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) as well as Airline Financial & ERP systems (SAP or Oracle). For Forecasting, SkyLog can receive Airline Flight Schedule and Passenger bookings or Passenger load factors as well as 3rd party flight loading information.

SkyLoad

SkyLoad is a solution to graphically design Aircraft and Flight Loading Diagrams. It covers designing and defining the Aircraft layout (Stowages), the contents of each container (Trolley/Cart, Standard Unit Drawer, Tray set up etc.) and the assignment of containers to stowage positions on the aircraft. Loading is dynamically defined based on the latest flight schedule and passenger figures. The final loading data is shared with SkyLog for demand forecast calculations.

SkyTrack

SkyTrack is a solution to track the location of expensive assets such as trolleys/carts. The assets can be tracked using bar-code, RFID or Blue Tooth technologies.

SkyShare

SkyShare allows the output of any other SkySuite product or externally prepared documents to be shared with the appropriate partners in a secure and safe way. The solution includes audit logs to record who has viewed documents and when they viewed them. The workflow engine will alert management if important documents have not been viewed by the required deadlines.

SkyMove

SkyMove is a Transport Management solution. Transport orders can be generated from various SkyLog modules such as Purchase orders or Station requisitions or they can be created manually. Orders can also be created via EDI messages from 3rd party systems. Orders can be consolidated/merged to optimize container loading and reduce costs. Routes can be tendered and the system includes a quotation request and approval module. EDI messaging can be set up with chosen suppliers to communicate orders and receive the latest status information.

SkyBill

SkyBill is a purchase invoicing module that generates self billing invoices for product or transport/freight purchases. Invoices for catering services can also be generated using our partner system Promeus from Lomature. Invoices are generated based on the Order/Tariffs agreed and the vendor is alerted. Vendors can approve/query the invoices and the powerful workflow provides an interactive/collaborative dispute resolution process. All approved invoices are submitted via EDI to the appropriate ERP system. Once payment is scheduled or made EDI messages from the ERP system update SkyBill so that vendors have full visibility of payment status through the SkyBill portal.

SkySuiteMobile

SkySuiteMobile is the mobile part of SkySuite products. The mobile application is currently available for Android devices. This application includes some modules like Inventory or Trolley assets scan.

Integration with 3rd Party Systems (Single Sign On)

SkySuite can access 3rd Party Systems using Single Sign On (SSO) technology. If SSO is enabled and your user role allows you to access any third party software you will see a section on the Home page called "External Product Access" and underneath that you will see links for all 3rd party products you can access. Clicking on any link will automatically sign you into that application without the need to retype your user name and password. All your security details will automatically be passed to the 3rd party application. When you eventually exit the 3rd party application you will come back to the Home page of SkySuite.

The image below shows an example of SSO access to the Promeus application.

Dashboards

On the Home page you will also see various Dashboards. The dashboards you see are determined by the Airline you are viewing and the user role you have been assigned.

Below you see a typical Dashboard

If you are a User with access to more than one Airline then no Dashboards are displayed automatically, instead you will see a dropdown to select the Airline. After selecting the Airline you can press the "View Dashboard" button to display the appropriate Dashboard

Messages & Unread Publications

SkySuite has its own messaging system which will record alerts from the workflow engine for any delayed or failed tasks such as an EDI message not being received and processed on time or a shipment that is overdue. The alerts you receive are configurable within SkySuite. In the example below you can see that there are 330 unread messages. To read your messages just click on the button.

Requesting Support

SkySuite contains an online ticketing system that allows you to request help for any issue regarding use of the software. Only certain user roles have access to the ticketing system as some roles are expected to request help in the first instance from the local administrator or SkylogistiX contact and if that person cannot resolve the issue they will raise a support ticket. If you are assigned a user role that can raise support tickets you will find the link under the dropdown by your login name.
