Sales App - General Introduction

To ensure that your business is capable to react to any flight request at any time and anywhere, FL3XX developed the mobile Sales App. Sales employees can log in and pull up existing bookings to make changes or create new ones. You will also be able to send out Quote and other emails and receive the responses on your mobile device.

1. Navigate in the app

Hamburger Menu: tap on  the menu that opens all existing requests, options, and bookings.

Add New Booking: Tap on  which will open the booking form.

Save: While you are filling out the form, you can save the work in progress anytime, after the mandatory fields are added. Tap on

Settings here you can directly report an issue with the app to FL3XX Support, you can switch on/off the notifications, and Logout from your app.

2. Left Hand Quotes and Bookings List

Tap on the hamburger menu   that opens the list of requests, options, and bookings.

On the top, you can search by Booking number, date, or salesperson. You can also filter your bookings or sort them according to your preference.

Included in the list are key details such as the booking reference, the salesperson's acronym, the date of the initial passenger flight, departure and arrival airports with ICAO codes, as well as account information.

To see the details of a booking just tap on it.

3. Search Box

The LH-List features a very powerful Search Box in order to retrieve any Quote or Booking. You can search for a Quote ID, a customer name, an aircraft tail, or even a certain airport. The list will be reduced to the matching entries, and in the top right, you will see the total number of matching entries.

4. Sort & Filter

With a click on the sort-1 icon you can sort the LH List by Creation date, Quote ID, Last modification date or date of first flight. 

You can also filter filter the list to only include Requests, Quotes, Bookings, Canceled, etc. Quotes/Bookings.

The default setting is

  • Sort by Last modification
  • Show All records

This will make sure that any new or modified request will appear on top of the list, and you don’t miss out on any update.

5. Status Color

In order to make it easy to prioritize quotes, we apply a standard color scheme to all quotes on the left side:

  • Red & flashing: Immediate Action is required & the flight is within the next 24h
  • Red: Immediate Action is required
  • Yellow: Action is required
  • Blue: Standby, no Action is required
  • Green: AOK, no Action is required
  • Magenta: Revised. Things have changed, please update all concerned parties
  • White: No Action is required, waiting for a response from the customer
  • Grey: Not relevant anymore

If there are different versions of the same booking, you can expand and collapse the list with a single click.

 

Typically the new requests that arrive are on top of the list in red, everything that has been taken care of will appear in an unobtrusive color underneath.

When you select a quote and want to view its details, the quote will be highlighted with an orange background. This indicates that you have currently selected this quote.

6. Status Letter

In addition to the Status Color, the Status Letter highlights the workflow step of the respective item.

The following letters are used:

  • R – New Request
  • a – New Avinode Request
  • w – New Web Request
  • Q – Quote (= Request that has been answered)
  • A – Accepted Quote
  • O – Owner’s Approval pending (if applicable)
  • B – Booking (Quote that has been booked)
  • F – Flights pending (everything else is done)
  • C – Canceled Quote/ Booking
  • D – Dropped (when the flights of an unanswered Request are in the past, the Request is Dropped automatically)
