Business Environment

Seating is at the crossroad between Reservation, Inventory, and Departure Control. It has regular Airlines focus and evolution request. Seating is very important for them while it is a source of additional revenue (ancillary and merchandising), being fully part of the customer experience before departure as well as during on-board. Part of OPERATIONS (seating is MCA while involved in operational processes), Seating will very likely interact as well with OFFER and ORDER systems in the future. But for the very short term, Seating will be one of the early pilots to move to the CLOUD. (project started in 2021).

Very rich functionally, seating allows defining airline aircraft seatmap, then rules used to seat (and reseat) passengers, and then distribute seats at reservation time. All these functionalities, in constant evolution, are the ones enabling you to fly with the best seat at the best price for the airline.

We are hosting the inventory of more than 100 Airlines, and we manage dozens of millions of seats and hundreds of thousands seatmaps in real time.

We work in SAFE since June 2021, with full functional scope, ie seatmaps displays, seat allocation, seat distribution.

Developers part of the Seat Development line will work with Seat PDef/QA to deliver new functionalities & products within feature teams.
