SkyBuySM—The In-Flight Sales Management System with a Difference

SkyBuy handheld unitThe SkyBuy inventory management and in-flight sales system enables you to sell food, beverages, in-flight entertainment, and duty-free items to your passengers without the complexities of handling cash, making change, and dealing with currency exchange.  It combines the most advanced technologies—the MDT InFlight solution by Abanco for complete management of onboard sales and inventory control with ARINC's global services and innovative approach to onboard communications—the Mobile Communications Gateway.

ARINC provides SkyBuy as a fully managed service—all you have to do is use it, and we take care of the restAll hardware and software, including the handheld and communications devices are owned and maintained by ARINC.  With no hardware costs, your return on investment is much higher than with other buy-on-board solutions.

With the SkyBuy Complete service, you receive PoS and Mobile Communications Gateway devices to support your entire fleet.  The PoS devices are configured specifically for your airline, and are easy to use. At the end of the flight, the Mobile Communications Gateway provides wireless communications for uploading credit card transaction data. It also serves as a charging station for the PoS devices, so that all SkyBuy equipment can remain on the aircraft.

The SkyBuy Connect service enables you to add the communications component if you already own PoS devices, providing on-board upload of credit-card transaction data, and eliminating the need to transport the devices to and from the aircraft.

SkyBuy is the in-flight sales management system with a difference—a simple yet comprehensive way to improve your revenues, have access to up-to-date inventory and sales information, and have onboard communications for rapid upload of credit card transactions—all without the ongoing costs of ownership.
