Sugar Land, TX– GlobalSelect has experienced a dramatic transformation in its daily operations after implementing X-1FBO. The cutting-edge system, designed to streamline transaction processing and reduce manual errors, has led to a 93% reduction in labor hours and an estimated annual savings of $55,000.
Before the X-1FBO upgrade, Global Select was burdened with manual data entry and outdated financial systems that significantly slowed daily operations. According to Mitchell T. Davies, the challenges were considerable:

• Manual Reconciliation: Front desk staff spent 1.5 to 2 hours each night compiling a daily cash report.
• Error Correction: A lead employee dedicated an additional hour each morning to reviewing and correcting errors.
• Manual Data Entry: Supervisors and the finance manager spent over 4 hours collectively inputting and verifying data into legacy systems like Tyler Cashiering and Munis.

“This process required an average of eight hours a day from multiple employees – the equivalent of one full-time position dedicated solely to financial reconciliation,” Davies explained.

Transformative Automation with X-1FBO
With the implementation of X-1FBO, these time-consuming, error-prone workflows have been nearly eliminated. The automated system now:
• Reduces Reconciliation Time: Front desk reconciliation has dropped from 3.5 hours to just 10 minutes.
• Eliminates Manual Entry Errors: Automated categorization and reporting significantly reduce the chance of human error.
• Streamlines Financial Processes: The finance manager now spends only 15 minutes per day verifying and uploading transaction data.

As a result, the new system has not only streamlined financial reconciliation but also improved operational workflows on the ramp by integrating handheld devices and a digital dispatch system. These improvements have enhanced service prioritization and reduced miscommunications, ultimately contributing to a more efficient operation.

Looking Forward
Encouraged by these impressive gains, GlobalSelect is exploring additional X-1FBO integrations, including leasing and billing management, to further enhance operational efficiency. “We went from a really antiquated system to an industry-leading solution,” said Davies. “The leap was about 30 to 40 years forward in efficiency.”

“For FBOs looking to modernize, the success at GlobalSelect offers a compelling case study. The transition to automated processes and real-time data management isn’t just about convenience—it’s about unlocking significant operational and financial gains. We are all about data and look forward to showcasing more case studies like these to GA community.” Monica Sarduy, VP of Sales & Marketing.
