TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS<br />
eStaff is an advanced technology that<br />
keeps <strong>FSS</strong> ahead of the game.<br />
<strong>FSS</strong> uses handheld Android tablets outfitted with our eStaff<br />
technology to automate tracking of our mobility assistance<br />
requests. Full chain of custody can be tracked from pickup to<br />
drop-off along with any other deviations. With bar codes located<br />
throughout the airport, agents can document locations quickly<br />
and easily. eStaff allows us to automate dispatch, communication<br />
and timing of releases, it provides a record of each assist.<br />
Benefits:<br />
Web-based, allowing for a more agile program in the field. The Dispatcher &<br />
Wheelchair Agents will be connected to the <strong>FSS</strong> network in any location on<br />
any device.<br />
eStaff has the ability to filter based upon needs and attributes, which will<br />
greatly enhance our mobility assistance performance and customer service,<br />
i.e. you can filter to a specific language, filter/search by an agent’s last<br />
known location, etc.<br />
Reporting has stayed consistent and remains robust, customizable and<br />
comprehensive. We can pull custom reports on request or produce daily<br />
reports to show trend analysis, etc.<br />

PASSENGER QUOTES<br />
I wish to thank Thai Lee for the incredible services he gave us at the Fresno, CA air terminal.<br />
Two of our parties were in wheelchairs, and due to a mix up in our reservations, we had to<br />
spend several hours in the airport. Thai was on hand to help us with our wheelchairs and<br />
luggage during the duration. In addition he had a wonderful attitude! He could not have been<br />
more helpful. Thank you, thank you.<br />
-Judy Althouse, Fresno Yosemite Intl. Airport Passenger<br />
I loved seeing the entire ground crew<br />
waving goodbye to the plane. They all came<br />
and sat in the gate area until the plane was<br />
in the air, it felts like family was watching<br />
over the plane. It was a nice send off.<br />
-Deena Dennis, Charleston Intl. Airport Passenger<br />
As we were walking into Logan Airport, I was going very slowly because I use a cane, and a very<br />
nice gentleman working for your company had asked if I needed any help and offered wheelchair<br />
assistance. It didn't turn out great, it turned out AWESOME. Piro Andrea was the agent who<br />
helped us get our boarding pass, and through security. After I was through he even helped me put<br />
my sneakers on. He brought us right to our gate, and had this huge smile the entire time. I can't<br />
say thank you enough to him and your BOS team for having him available to help me.<br />
