FuelPlus lanceert papierloze inkoopoplossing voor luchtvaartbrandstof

eTender is een van de eerste producten die gebruik maakt van de door de IATA ontwikkelde branchebrede XML-datastandaard voor brandstoftenders. Dit stelt luchtvaartmaatschappijen en brandstofleveranciers in staat om snel en eenvoudig gestandaardiseerde aanbestedingsdocumenten uit te wisselen met behulp van de XML-mark-up taal.
“eTender is de toekomst van de aanbesteding van vliegtuigbrandstof”, zegt CEO van de FuelPlus Group, Klaus-Peter Warnke. “Het kan de handmatige administratie aanzienlijk verkorten en het aanbestedingsproces verkorten. Dit is een enorm voordeel voor zowel luchtvaartmaatschappijen als brandstofleveranciers, die te lang verouderde, handmatige systemen moesten gebruiken. Uit een IATA-enquête is gebleken dat tot 80% van de aanbestedingsinspanning wordt besteed aan administratieve of gegevensverzamelingsactiviteiten. In de 21e eeuw is dat onaanvaardbaar.”

eTender is one of the first products to use the industry-wide XML data standard for fuel tenders, which was developed by IATA. This allows airlines and fuel suppliers to exchange standardized tender documents quickly and easily using the XML mark-up language.
“eTender is the future of aviation fuel tendering,” says FuelPlus Group CEO, Klaus-Peter Warnke. “It can significantly cut manual administration and shorten the tendering process. This is a huge benefit to both airlines and fuel suppliers, who have been putting up with outdated, manual systems for too long. An IATA survey found that up to 80% of effort in tendering is spent on administrative or data capture activities. In the 21st century, that’s unacceptable.”
One of eTender’s key features for airlines is that it can receive fuel bids with different formats and terms and automatically standardize and rank them. This enables airlines to compare bids more accurately and ensure they are getting the best price for their fuel. A key feature for fuel suppliers is that eTender uses known data to pre-fill fields in the bid document, so they can prepare and submit bids quicker.
The new solution has been through multiple rounds of testing with leading carriers and fuel suppliers, who have given it very positive reviews. It’s now available to all airlines and fuel suppliers, either as a standalone SaaS product or, if they already use the FuelPlus platform, as an upgrade.
