Mercator’s New Solution Checks Airline Telecomms Bills

23 July 2002

Mercator, the Dubai-based IT division of the Emirates Group, has launched a new solution to help its airline customers check their telecommunications bills.

As the latest addition to Mercator’s portfolio of airline financial products, it will help them analyse the true costs of voice and data telecommunications, following recent industry research suggesting mistakes in bills are all too frequent. 

The new solution, named ComStar, offers a simple method for airlines to check and analyse their bills, large or small, and spot and remove potentially costly errors, greatly improving their finances.

Airlines rely heavily on telecommunications. Now they can use ComStar to automate the traditionally labour-intensive process of checking their bills manually. 

Hugh Pride, Director of IT at Mercator said: “ComStar offers a powerful tool for checking invoices quickly and making sure the sums billed match the amounts stated in the contract. It will eliminate mistakes at a stroke and protect hard-earned profits.”

Airlines using ComStar can also expect better productivity, greater accuracy and faster resolution of billing queries.   

ComStar is the latest addition to Mercator’s extensive range of industry-leading airline financial solutions, which include passenger and cargo revenue accounting, outstation accounting, route profitability analysis and interline billing. 

Mercator has customers on five continents, thanks to its fast-growing reputation for innovation and quality. RAPID customers include major airlines such as Air New Zealand, Air Pacific, Air Zimbabwe, British Airways, Emirates, Grupo TACA, Olympic, Qantas, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Brunei, SriLankan and Varig.
