Stellar Labs (Booth C11422) is showcasing its new quoting application and new business aviation marketplace this week at NBAA-BACE 2019. The cloud-based application provides charter operators with account management, trip building, itinerary options, operator-branded quotes, an advanced pricing engine, and built-in feasibility checks.
Operators can quickly generate customized, detailed, and branded quotes for multiple aircraft and itineraries via automated quoting technology and an advanced pricing engine that can quote an entire fleet in seconds. Integrated availability and feasibility checks can be accessed so that only trips that can be flown are quoted. The update quoting application provides warnings for similar quotes, accounting integration, won/lost tracking, a rules-based pricing engine, and automated routing to support floating fleet and back-to-base aircraft. The quoting application provides access to the Stellar Marketplace, an independent B2B business aviation online exchange.
The marketplace allows charter operators, brokers, and corporate flight departments to quickly source off-fleet aircraft from other operators. It allows charter buyers and sellers to offer, search for, quote, and book available aircraft using real-time pricing, availability, and safety information. Operators can choose what information to list in the marketplace and the potential buyers who have access to it.
“Current off-fleet sourcing solutions have unreliable information, are slowed down with manual processes, or are hard to search,” said Stellar CEO David Fox. “These issues cause wasted time and loss of sales. Fox said the marketplace uses “reliable, up-to-date information directly from an operator’s schedule board.
“The synergy between our advanced quoting solution and the Stellar Marketplace enhances both products,” Fox said. “The combination is unique and will revolutionize charter aviation.”
