The Hidden Cost Of Having
Four Vendors

Your Team Manages Everything Manually.

Separate systems create operational confusion, regulatory risks, and unnecessary costs.

Airport CX unified platform integrating Audio Hardware, FIDS Displays, PA Systems, and AODB Data into one coordinated system

4 Vendors

4 Contracts

4 Credentials

Limited Integration

Operational Chaos

Gate agents make boarding calls while displays still show "Delayed." Passengers receive mixed messages, staff handle the same questions repeatedly.

Separate systems consistently create passenger confusion.

Compliance Gaps

Audio-only announcements exclude passengers with hearing impairments, creating compliance risks under the Accessible Canada Act and ATPDR.

Non-compliance can result in Transport Canada penalties.

Vendor Management

When systems fail, multiple vendors point fingers while your team coordinates repairs instead of focusing on passenger service during critical situations.

Multi-vendor management wastes operational resources.

The Solution: Unified Communication

One Platform. Display & Voice Synchronized.

Airport CX connects PA systems, FIDS, and AODB into one coordinated network, ensuring consistent messaging across every passenger touchpoint in both official languages.

How It Actually Works: Boarding Call Scenario

Deployment Options

With Your Existing Contracts, Budget Cycles, And Operational Needs

Many Canadian airports start with one module and expand when existing contracts expire. Each component delivers value independently while working better when integrated.
