e-gatematrix's full suite of inflight management solutions is able to reduce the typical cost of an airline's inflight services by 10% - 15% -- or more.

Based on in-depth analyses of major global airlines, e-gatematrix has developed estimates of how these total cost savings break down into four main categories:

• Design & Sourcing
• Inventory & Asset Management
• Operations Management
• Technology & Other Savings

Savings generated through improved asset management and equipment balancing normally constitutes approximately 25% of an airline's total cost savings potential. Savings are captured by:

• Lower global inventory levels
• Reduced station consumption of airline-owned assets
• Reduced logistics costs

Savings generated through design and sourcing makes up approximately 40% of the total cost savings potential. Savings are captured by:

• Managing product specifications
• Improved understanding of cost/benefit
• Exploitation of external markets for common products
• Scheduling/provisioning with improved tools
• Aggregation of procurement volumes
• Improved demand signals - reducing inventory, expediting and burn-off costs

The approximately 20% of the savings that is attributable to Operations Management can be achieved by:

• Reduction of over boarding
• Coordinating product supply chain inventories and production
• Improving service provider labor planning and productivity
• Automating invoice audits for 100% of service provider invoices

In addition to these direct cost advantages, e-gatematrix is able to provide a full service solution that includes the cost of technology development, implementation, maintenance and on-going support and upgrades. These cost reductions and others make up the remainder of the cost savings potential.
