Lufthansa Group Creates a Better Travel Experience with IBM MobileFirst for iOS
OREANDA-NEWS. IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that Lufthansa Group is introducing a new mobile offering for employees, powered by MobileFirst for iOS to transform the airline's ground operations and boost customer service.

Travelers today expect the best of both worlds-the lowest fares and a first-rate flying experience. Airline carriers need to identify new strategies to differentiate their operations in the hyper-competitive market that has evolved in the digital world. Mobility has become one of the most promising solutions for the aviation industry as it reinvents business models and operations.
Traditionally, Lufthansa flight managers had to login to multiple systems numerous times a day to access information about flight assignments. Using Manage Gates, Lufthansa supervisors will now have access to relevant, real-time information at their fingertips, making them independent from a stationary workplace to interact and connect with passengers. Flight managers can react more promptly to specific challenging situations such as current booking and boarding status, baggage status, inbound flights, aircraft and crew rotation.
«The always-connected employee is managing a lot and has come to expect the same mobile tools used in personal life, as on the job,» said Mirco Bharpalania, Director Ground Operations IT, Lufthansa. «With the help of IBM we are transforming where and how we can access information to accommodate our guests from anywhere inside the airport.»
Manage Gates is a digital business assistant designed specifically for flight managers, providing immediate access to all essential data of the airline's assigned flights. This means flight managers can better plan and monitor for flight changes and boarding processes so they can react quickly to changes and other incidents, creating a smoother flying experience for customers. With its intuitive design, the app simplifies everyday tasks, resulting in efficient processes that allow flight managers to address customer needs more directly.
