Awaypay – Mobile-First Financial Platform for Airline Crew

Client Overview

Awaypay is an Australian-initiated platform purpose-built for airline crew members, including flight attendants and pilots. Designed around the realities of constant travel and heavy reliance on mobile devices, it delivers a seamless, mobile-first experience for managing finances and day-to-day operational information.

Project Goal

The primary goal was to develop a web application optimized for mobile use, ensuring accessibility and efficiency for users who are predominantly on the go. The application needed to allow crew members to easily track and manage benefit payments, view invoices, and automate payment processes — enhancements that provide transparency and simplicity compared to traditional methods used by airlines.

Solution provided

We delivered a comprehensive solution that included the following:

Mobile-First web application

Prioritizing a mobile-focused design tailored to the on-the-go lifestyle of crew members, ensuring the application operates flawlessly on mobile devices while remaining fully functional on desktop computers.

User-centric features

Implementation of features such as real-time flight tracking and destination weather updates, viewing upcoming flight patterns, and a unique 'Who's Nearby' function that shows other crew members available in the same location for potential meetups.

Financial management tools

Easy access to financial data, including upcoming and past payments and automated invoice management, which significantly reduces the administrative burden on crew members.

Technical execution

The project utilized a robust stack, including Next.js for front-end and back-end development, Supabase for database management, and Next UI for user interface components. The initial web design was created in Figma, and the external website is hosted on Webflow, while the application is hosted on Vercel. Plans include the future conversion of the web application into a native mobile app for iOS and Android using the Capacitor hybrid platform for better accessibility and performance.

Results and impact

Awaypay successfully transforms how crew members manage their finances by unifying essential services on a single platform for ease of use and transparency. The platform not only simplifies financial transactions but also enriches users' lifestyles through valuable community features and operational updates.
