Novo Ivc Mobile Sales System ("MSS")

deployed for use on British Airways

 

 

Belgravium Technologies plc ("Belgravium" or "the Group"), the designer and supplier of computing solutions and services for the mobile computing market, is pleased to announce that Novo Ivc, its wholly owned subsidiary, has installed MSS, its on-board retail software system, for Inflight Retail use on British Airways.

 

The move follows a contract being agreed between Tourvest Duty Free, (Tourvest), the leading in-flight duty-free operator, and British Airways in which Tourvest was appointed to supply and manage the carrier's inflight retail business. Novo collaborated with Tourvest to develop the hand held unit used by cabin crew for onboard retail sales as well as the design and supply of the associated software.

 

During the selection process Tourvest and Novo were able to demonstrate that MSS provides the highest levels of operational reliability and functionality with a complete inventory management system, the capability of handling multiple currency payment transactions and ability to interface with Tourvest's back office systems.

 

Approximately 1900 Kestrel handsets designed and assembled by Belgravium have been supplied as well as the necessary software and hardware support. In addition, through Tourvest, an agreement is in place for Novo to provide on-going maintenance for both hardware and software.

Commenting today, John Kembery, Executive Chairman of Belgravium Technologies plc said:

 

" We are delighted to have been able to work with Tourvest once again and to have been chosen by Tourvest to use our systems on British Airways, one of the largest and most prestigious airlines in the world. Critical in the success of an on-board retail system is its ability to be reliable and robust and we know this is where we are particularly strong as evidenced by the fact that we have now been adopted by over 50 airlines worldwide and are currently in discussions with several more."
