Smart Airports Enterprise

and Cloud billing

Ericsson Enterprise and Cloud
Billing, formerly MetraTech, is
a monetizaton solution that
enables global commerce
innovation as industries
transform to actively participate
in the Networked Society
enabled by the Internet of
Things (IoT) and Everything as
a Service (XaaS). Our airport
revenue management system is
unmatched in meeting time-to-
revenue for new airport services.

Airport operators across the globe

can no longer view their role as
simply part of public infrastructure.
The modern airport is a smart city
designed to be the linchpin in the
new travel experience that now
begins at the passenger’s doorway
and only ends when they return
home. So what’s driving this new
experience and how can airport
operators meet traveler
expectations while driving new
revenue opportunities?
Ericsson Enterprise and Cloud
Billing, formerly MetraTech, is
a complete airport billing and
settlement software solution
designed to provide the automation
and flexibility needed by airports
around the globe to invoice airline
and cargo customers, manage
leases and concessions, and more.
Flexible contracts and
unlimited monetization
Non-aviation revenue sources, such
as retail concessions, car parking
and rent, contribute to almost 40%
of airport revenue globally. The
revenue growth opportunity is no
longer in typical airport services
like cargo and aviation. The real
opportunity lies in transformative
services that align with the
passenger journey.
All airport operators, both
municipalities and private
operators, are feeling the effects
of increased passenger and cargo
traffic. Airports, particularly those
located in developing countries, are
faced with the task of modernizing
infrastructure and creating
efficiencies to manage the demand
for air travel. Along with investments
in airport infrastructure to support
commercial projects like hotels,
parking and convention centers,
airports must adopt a new way of
thinking about business models.
And the opportunity to do so
begins when a passenger checks
in at home online and continues as
they travel to and arrive at the
airport, walk through the terminal,
take their flight and travel home
again.
Today’s airports are evolving to
become modern airport cities with
services beyond aviation and
cargo, such as concessions, hotels
and convention centers, that need
to be monetized. The billing
platform needs to support today’s
services while future-proofing
tomorrow’s. This is why a traditional
aviation billing system is not able to
support the needs of the modern
airport. It is not agile to adapt with
the needs of the business.
Innovate. Imagine.
