Air Canada using the Sisense Fusion Platform to develop and implement successful proof of concepts, allowing the airline to push actionable data to frontline workers


New York, NY &#8211; <a href="https://www.sisense.com/">Sisense</a>, the leading AI-driven platform for infusing analytics everywhere, today announced how its customer, Shaul Shalev, Air Canada’s Safety Analytics &amp; Innovation Manager, is going beyond the dashboard with new innovations to deliver insights to its frontline workers with the use of the Sisense Fusion Platform. Air Canada was able to build powerful proofs of concept, such as pushing actionable data to their end users (both frontline employees and executives), enabling them to look at highly important data that deals with their day-to-day duties to ultimately improve and add insights into all aspects of safety across Air Canada.


Watch the video on how the Sisense Fusion Platform was used to build new innovations to keep passengers and flight staff safe from the recent Gartner Data &amp; Analytics Summit, Americas:

Air Canada is Canada&#8217;s largest international and domestic airline, serving more than 50 million passengers every year. “The extensibility that the Sisense Fusion Platform offers is the major differentiator from all the other big players who have BI tools. We would not have been able to develop the game-changing analytics innovation we have today without having this platform to build on,“ Shaul Shalev, Safety Analytics &amp; Innovation Manager at Air Canada said. “The simplicity of being able to take a complex database and transfer that into a more nimble and better managed data model so we could experiment and develop infused analytics were paramount.” 


Air Canada developed these innovations due to the company’s desire to deliver crucial and personalized data to its employees and frontline workers. Results proved that there was not a one-size-fits-all approach in sending data to employees. Testing led to innovations that included sending real-time notifications to employees’ smartwatches, using the Amazon Echo as a way for employees to respond and ask questions in their own words to get the answers they needed, and taking traditional dashboards and transforming them into immersive 3D environments which used mixed reality to display data in different ways. The tests supported the fact that not all employees digested data the same way, and now would be able to receive the same data differently to personalize what each employee wanted and needed.

“Air Canada’s desire to push personalized data to different groups of people is very aligned with Sisense’s view on the world where analytics need to be in context, personalized and delivered to where people are,” Ashley Kramer, Chief Product and Chief Marketing Officer said. “We believe the future of analytics and BI will be consumer-focused, dynamic and embedded in applications and workflows.”
