A: It provides airlines with a single onboard commerce platform: a crew point-of-sale app, a commerce-first cabin experience on seatback screens and passenger devices, and the SkyConsole back office for pricing, products, promotions, inventory and reporting. Q: How is it different from legacy inflight retail systems? A: Legacy systems require vendor-managed changes, so menu, pricing or promotion updates take days of ticket queues. With LiFE, airline teams make those changes themselves in real time through SkyConsole. Q: Does it work without connectivity? A: Yes. The POS processes full transactions offline with secure local data storage and automatic synchronization after the flight, so sales continue when there is no coverage or Wi-Fi. Q: What payment methods are supported? A: Cards, cash and vouchers, with multi-currency transactions, automated tax handling and integrations with multiple global payment providers and top accredited acquirers. Q: What revenue impact do airlines see? A: Airlines implementing the full LiFE feature set increase sales by at least 30%. A Canadian airline saw a 30% increase in food and beverage sales after implementing CabX with order-from-seat. Q: Which teams inside an airline use the product? A: Crew use the POS onboard. Commercial teams manage pricing, promotions and offer strategy; operations teams manage fleets, routes and devices; catering teams manage menus and inventory; finance teams track transactions, refunds and payment activity — all through SkyConsole with role-based access. Q: Can passengers buy seat upgrades after boarding? A: Yes. CabX supports purchasing seat upgrades after the cabin door closes, alongside order-from-seat food and beverage, the SkyMarket marketplace, advertising and digital products. Q: Is entertainment included? A: Yes — movies, books, music and games are available as an engagement layer, but CabX is designed around revenue generation rather than content consumption.
