GuestLogix provides world’s most popular onboard retail solution to Seneca’s Tourism and Travel - Flight Services program
Toronto, September 20, 2012 – GuestLogix Inc. (TSX: GXI), the leading global provider of onboard retail and payment technology solutions to airlines and the passenger travel industry, has provided Seneca’s Travel & Tourism – Flight Services program with point-of-sale (POS) hardware and software, making it the first postsecondary institution in the world to receive the in-flight technology.
GuestLogix will provide the industry’s most popular POS technology to allow practical, hands-on training for in-flight retailing programs – a subject that was previously limited to printed training guides and presentations only.
“It was clear to us that Seneca’s program provides a superb pathway for those who have dreamed of becoming a flight attendant, preparing them to work alongside the highly trained, highly skilled professionals working in the airline industry today,” said Brett Proud, Executive Vice President of New Markets & Products for GuestLogix. “We are thrilled to work with Seneca. This school, program and its people are setting a new standard of training for future in-flight service personnel. Students leave Seneca with an insight into the airline industry that would be hard to duplicate.”
GuestLogix’s technology will allow Seneca to expand its Travel and Tourism – Flight Services curriculum to include practical training in POS usage for both food and beverage services and duty free programs, providing interactive lessons that emphasize the evolution of passenger in-flight service standards.
“As onboard retailing becomes increasingly important to the in-flight experience, our curriculum needed to reflect this shift and include more in-depth and hands-on training for our students,” said Debbie Brannan, Professor, School of Tourism. “Now, with the support of the industry’s leading technology provider, we can ensure our students are job-ready.”
Today, GuestLogix serves more than 60 travel operators around the globe and has deployed more than 40,000 POS devices to the industry. This ensures Seneca students graduate with a greater confidence in and understanding of the sales technology they will likely encounter in their new careers.
