Awaypay

Client Overview

‍Awaypay, initiated by a client from Australia, is designed to cater specifically to the needs of aircrew members such as flight attendants and pilots. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by these professionals, who often rely on mobile devices due to their constant travel, Awaypay aims to provide a seamless, mobile-first financial management platform.

Project Objectives

‍The primary goal was to develop a web application optimized for mobile use, ensuring accessibility and efficiency for users predominantly on the move. The application needed to allow air crew members to easily track and manage their allowance payouts, view invoices, and automate payment processes—enhancements that offer transparency and simplicity compared to traditional methods employed by airlines.

Solutions Provided

‍We delivered a comprehensive solution that includes:

Mobile-First Web Application

Prioritizing a mobile-first design to accommodate the on-the-go lifestyle of aircrew members, ensuring the application functions flawlessly on mobile devices while still being fully operational on desktops.

User-Centric Features

Implementation of features such as real-time tracking of flights and weather updates for destinations, viewing upcoming flight patterns, and a unique 'Who's In Port' feature that shows other crew members available in the same location for potential meetups.

Financial Management Tools

Easy access to financial details like upcoming and past payouts and automated invoice management, significantly reducing the administrative burden on air crew members.

Technical Execution

‍The project utilized a robust stack including Next.js for front-end and back-end development, Supabase for database management, and Next UI for the UI components. The initial web design was crafted in Figma, followed by development of the external website in Webflow and the application is hosted on Vercel. The plan includes future conversion of the web application into native mobile apps for iOS and Android using the hybrid platform Capacitor, to further enhance accessibility and performance.

Outcomes and Impact

‍Awaypay successfully transforms how air crew members manage their finances, combining essential services into a single platform for ease of use and increased efficiency. The platform not only simplifies financial transactions but also enhances the lifestyle of its users by providing valuable social features and operational updates.
