Who is İSTANBUL HAVACILIK® ?
Istanbul Aviation Club, one of Turkey’s first pilot training centers, is among the leading schools in the civil aviation industry with more than 30 years of experience. As of 2020, in order to provide a more comprehensive service to Aviation, it was incorporated into a corporate formation and was named “Istanbul Aviation” (İstanbul Havacılık).
Istanbul Aviation, which has been acting in order to train qualified pilots since its establishment, offers all trainees international quality and universal education. Our experienced trainers, who have proven themselves with their reliability and experience, provide service in Istanbul Aviation, which has educated hundreds of pilots to Aviation since 1986.
Inability to Manage Future Resource Planning and Business Strategies Correctly Due to Business Operations Managed by Classical Methods
– Challenges –
ISTANBUL AVIATION used to record flight school operations with office tools consisting of text and tables, physical documents, and local software.
This classical methodology, which started from the registration stage of the trainees, made it very difficult to correlate the processes from training, flights to financial operations. The difficulty of tracking the process and the fact that the records were prone to errors put the financial statements at risk of being composed of correct data.
In addition, the lack of a systematic tool for trainees and flight instructors to follow the training process online harmed the brand reputation.
– Conventional Methods for Documentation –
In summary, operational business processes managed using conventional methods were open to human mistakes and not handled systematically, resulting in labor, time, and revenue losses. Because of improper reports; resource planning and company strategies were not accurately manageable.
“From our employees to our customers, we wanted to increase satisfaction level with a total quality approach. For this, we set out to ensure that the activities of our center are at maximum speed, traceable, efficient, and systematic.”
– Cem Tepsi | İSTANBUL HAVACILIK General Manager
Why did İSTANBUL HAVACILIK choose Interval?
– Solution –
Cem Tepsi, General Manager of İstanbul Havacılık, states that the essential need of the center is Digital Transformation.
“From the moment we register our trainees to our flight school, we need to manage the planning of our theoretical lessons and flight training, as well as our HR processes and exam organizations with the help of software. In addition, it became a priority to accurately account for all activities and ensure that they are reflected in our financial statements quickly. For this reason, we sat at the table with Interval to implement the solution we expected. The result is beyond our expectation…” says Cem.
