Pinnacle is a specialist provider of software and technology to the aviation industry. Pinnacle’s system, iMATS, is a complex industrial standard telematics system, developed specifically for the aviation industry, which provides connectivity to airport equipment involved in critical operations. iMATS enables Airports, Airlines, Ground Handlers, Airport Equipment Fleet Management Companies and Airport Equipment Manufacturers to realise substantial cost savings through the provision of information from operationally critical aviation equipment.

Complex logistics are involved in a turnaround of an aircraft within a tight timeframe. The co-ordination and performance of the GSE and GSE operators, is a critical component of an on-time turnaround. Impacts to schedules and changes to arrival and departure times require fast carefully considered logistical decisions to keep an efficient operation. It is a dynamic fastmoving, geographically spread and time pressured environment. IMATS helps to avoid schedule issues and mitigate impacts to a schedule (e.g. due to weather conditions) by efficient deployment of GSE assisting to maximise aircraft on time performance.
