HOW IT FITS YOUR DAY
Onboard is built around the operator lifecycle. Companies apply, you approve, permits go out and standards stay up.
STEP 1 - APPLY
Companies apply online
Organisations and their vehicles apply through Onboard, with everything captured in one place from the start.
STEP 2 - APPROVE
Run your sign off
Applications move through the approval steps you define, with contracts generated along the way.
STEP 3 - PERMIT
Issue and get moving
Permits are issued and billed, and vehicles get airside without the paper chase.
STEP 4 - ASSURE
Stay audit ready
Expiries are tracked, renewals prompted and every record kept ready for audits and inspections.
