Crane DCS is a fully featured, web-based departure control system that allows fast and effective check-in. It can be used as an integral part of Hitit’s Crane PAX Reservations & Ticketing solution or can be deployed as a stand-alone solution that can work with any reservations system.  Supporting major industry standards, it brings together the convenience and cost effectiveness of a web-based system without compromising power and functionality.

Crane DCS makes full use of the self-service concept to cut down costs.  Passengers can make their seat selection and check-in on their own via internet or use the kiosks located at airports.
