electronic Service Ordering (eSO)
The electronic Service Ordering system provides an airline with an automated
means of creating, tracking and managing service orders with their catering and
cabin cleaning service providers. A web-based system, eSO translates the
Flight Service Schedule into
a daily schedule for each service location and combines it with real-time
flight information.
Integrated with the airlines flight operational systems, eSO communicates
real-time information about passenger bookings by cabin, aircraft type,
ship/tail number, departure gate, actual and scheduled departure times and
special/crew meal orders to the airlines suppliers. Sharing this real-time
information with your suppliers helps control over boarding and reduce meal
costs. Electronically managing service orders provides the airline with the
ability to quickly adjust to flight schedule changes.

- Adjustable rules for determining when orders are issued
