Soaring to New Heights: Philippine Airlines' Digital Innovation with IBS Software's iFly Staff

Philippine Airlines (PAL) and PAL Express (PALex) are not just carriers of people across the skies; they are also pioneers in the air travel industry. Embracing a new digital era, they have partnered with IBS Software to deploy the iFly Staff travel solution, marking a monumental shift towards operational excellence.

In this transition, iFly Staff emerges as not just a tool but an ecosystem. Integrating SaaS into the framework of airline operation has leveraged PAL’s productivity. Every stakeholder from PAL’s steadfast crew to their lifetime patrons, the retirees, now enjoys streamlined access to travel facilities.

iFly Staff stands out with its intuitive SaaS platform, crafted to refine the business and leisure travel booking for airline employees. The bespoke digital infrastructure erases the complexities of traditional systems, offering fluid channels that glide from planning to boarding.

Significantly, PAL’s move to iFly Staff has redefined user experience by discarding archaic paper trails for quick clicks. Benefits cascade from this change: office backlogs dissipate, compliance tightens, and payment flexibility increases. PAL’s first leap as Southeast Asia’s SaaS vanguard, and fourth within Asia-Pacific with IBS Software, sets a benchmark in the aviation industry.

With iFly Staff, PAL employees are at the helm of their travel experiences. The platform’s self-service feature ensures that every journey begins with empowerment, granting them flexibility and autonomy over their itineraries.

PAL recognizes that its esteemed employees are the prime movers in this digital shift, and in return, provides them with a reservation experience that mirrors the airline's own reputation for excellence. This pivotal upgrade in employee benefits reflects a culture of appreciation and innovation.

iFly Staff doesn’t just make bookings effortless; it reinvents travel management. PAL and PALex staff can now monitor and adjust their travel plans in real-time, a shift that represents an overarching commitment to empowering their team.

The system fosters independence and convenience, ensuring travel management is as exhilarating as the journey itself. The realization of this project signifies a foresighted approach to resource management and employee satisfaction.
