PayNode, the world’s first
payment platform created specifically for business aviation, is now being fully
integrated across all Avinode Group systems, making it even easier for charter
brokers and operators to work efficiently, take on more business and be paid
promptly.
Users of the Avinode
TripManager broker sales management system and SchedAero flight operations
system will now be able to create PayNode payment requests automatically in just
a few clicks within their current workflow, ready for emailing to the customer.
This integration eliminates wasteful administrative time and allows brokers and
operators to sharpen their focus on customer service and business growth.
The development is the
latest step in the Avinode Group’s commitment to providing a fully integrated,
end-to-end digital platform for business aviation, with the Avinode Marketplace,
the world’s largest online market for buying and selling air charter, at its
heart.

Magnus Henriksson,
Global Business Director, PayNode, says: “We’ve had a highly positive response
from brokers and operators to the launch of PayNode. The solution has been
designed to target key pain points in their businesses: the need to work faster,
to move large sums of money internationally at short notice and to get paid
swiftly. For example, PayNode is the only platform that ensures brokers and
operators receive payment within 24 hours following a flight, which is a huge
cash flow benefit.
“Since Avinode Group was
founded 15 years ago, we’ve been on a mission to bring air charter to the
forefront of the digital age, developing best-in-class technology to make
business easier for our members,” Henriksson continues. “The integration of
PayNode with Avinode TripManager and SchedAero ensures funds can flow through
the links in the payment chain and into our customers’ bank accounts more
effortlessly than ever.”
Launched at NBAA 2016,
PayNode is disrupting the multi-billion-dollar business aviation payments
market. It replaces a highly manual, time-intensive payment process with a
simple and secure online system specifically designed to move large sums of
money cross-border, regardless of time or geographic location. Already bringing
improved speed, ease and security to American Express card payments, PayNode
will be expanded in 2017 to also transform the processing of bank wire
transactions. |
