Ditto,<\/a> creators of critical software infrastructure that enables apps to synchronize data in real-time even without internet connectivity, announced that its Intelligent Edge Platform is powering a new task management and peer-to-peer connectivity enterprise app for Alaska Airlines flight attendants. Alaska Airlines is the first U.S. airline to adopt Ditto, giving crew members powerful collaboration tools with real-time data, even when network connectivity is unavailable, and supplying enterprises with analytics that were previously inaccessible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ditto\u2019s Intelligent Edge Platform<\/a> enables real-time, peer-to-peer communication without internet. By powering Alaska Airlines\u2019 crew-to-crew collaboration app, flight attendants are able to more efficiently perform internal processes such as guest services and delivery of onboard products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, because airlines operate in different work\nenvironments both on the ground and in the sky, their software tools require a\nnew architecture to work reliably. Ditto\u2019s Intelligent Edge Platform harnesses\nthe power of the edge devices themselves to process and communicate data,\ncircumventing the necessity of a central server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDitto is excited about the opportunity to help Alaska\nAirlines digitize its crew members. Our Intelligent Edge Platform enables\nAlaska Airlines\u2019 enterprise app to truly work at the edge which is where crew\ndo their jobs. So, it\u2019s essential for them to access real-time safety data and\npassenger preferences, regardless of internet status, in order to perform their\njobs well. Without the digitization of key processes, airlines miss out on\ncrucial data and analytics as well as communications capabilities that are\nimportant for greater operational efficiencies and more highly optimized\ncustomer experiences,\u201d said Adam Fish, Ditto co-founder and CEO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ditto’s Intelligent Edge offers unified, real-time data sync\nfor mobile, web, IoT, and server apps, even without the internet. The complete\nsolution features an SDK with a peer-to-peer (P2P) mesh network, embedded\ndatabase, and is capable of automatic conflict resolution, as well as a cloud\ndatabase that can handle extreme resiliency, automatic scalability for handling\nunpredictable loads, and seamless integration via APIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General commercial aviation communications are made much\nmore efficient by simply embedding Ditto\u2019s Intelligent Edge Platform into\nexisting apps. Ditto allows paper processes to be digitized and synced in\nreal-time across all crew devices, even in an airplane where network\nconnectivity is limited or completely unavailable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaska Airlines V.P. of Information Technology Vikram\nBaskaran on the Ditto relationship, \u201cOur approach to developing frontline tools\nprioritizes close partnership with our Flight Attendants during each step of\ndevelopment. Ditto has been a great partner in ensuring our tools are seamless\nfor our Flight Attendants. With their help, we have been able to support our\nworkgroup by providing visibility of one another\u2019s inflight mobile device to\nsee when an order has been delivered in real-time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
