Skylegs, an aviation management platform used by 90 aircraft operators in 25 countries, has chosen Regula Document Reader SDK to enable automated data reading and extraction from passports, ID cards and other travel documents. In tests, Regula always provided fast and trustworthy results and thus perfectly met Skylegs' top requirements for speed and accuracy.

Since the Skylegs platform was launched, data entry automation has always been meant to substitute the manual work performed by aircraft operators. Lengthy and prone to error, it took up to three minutes per document, that approach affected both the efficiency of the process and customer satisfaction. Now, with Regula Document Reader SDK integrated into the Skylegs platform, entering passenger and crew data is fast and easy; an operator simply scans a document and gets accurate and verified results instantly.

Regula Document Reader SDK relies on Regula's proprietary document template database, the most comprehensive in the world. Currently it contains over 13,000 templates of IDs from 247 countries and territories, with all their security features meticulously described. Such an extensive database makes it possible to recognise and verify nearly every identity document, regardless of its type or country of origin. For an aviation management platform, it's a real game-changer, since its customers can come from any corner of the world.

Also, thanks to its easy integration, the reader has been implemented into the Skylegs infrastructure in a plug-and-play manner, which accelerated the transition period and made data entry automation possible even faster.

"We tried other solutions, but they were too 'generic' and we needed specialists. We came to the conclusion that only Regula could interpret a vast array of documents accurately, reliably and quickly. We are very satisfied with Regula and its rapid, accurate and reliable solution. We've seen the potential at the pilot stage, and we're witnessing its efficiency now that the project is complete. We have also received positive feedback from our clients, who say that data entry automation has made their jobs easier, faster and more precise,” says Skylegs managing director Maxim Schelfhout.

“Data entry automation is crucial since it eliminates delays and mistakes, which can be very costly to any aviation company. Using Regula's solution, staff can be sure that all passenger IDs have been processed properly and the information is accurate and reliable. We are happy to collaborate with Skylegs and to see that our mutual efforts are changing the industry for the better,” adds Regula CTO Ihar Kliashchou.
