_Ditto&apos;s real-time database operates at the edge and empowers Chick-fil-A to complete its personalized, in-house POS rebuild two years quicker than planned._
 
Atlanta and San Francisco - August 1, 2023 - Software company Ditto has partnered with Chick-fil-A, Inc. to modernize the Point-of-Sale (POS) system in Chick-fil-A® restaurants across the U.S.

Ditto created a distributed data platform that enables apps to synchronize data in real-time even without internet connectivity. [Ditto's Intelligent Edge Platform](/platform) enables mobile, web, IoT and server apps to instantly communicate with or without the internet, creating a more reliable digital experience for Chick-fil-A guests and local restaurant Operators.

Chick-fil-A chose Ditto&apos;s platform to enable devices across its commerce ecosystem to be cloud-optional. The next generation POS system will operate independent of an internet connection, providing more resilience to outages, enhanced speed and flexible control to deliver a reliable end-user experience. By relying on Ditto&apos;s easy-to-use platform, the Chick-fil-A engineering team shortened their POS development timeline by months. The enhanced focus on user experience, rather than on networking and data management, elevates the overall experience. As a result, Operators and their teams will be able to deliver the Chick-fil-A experience customers expect, regardless of sales channel, internet strength, or connectivity.
 
“We want to bring the same commitment to operational excellence and customer care that you see at our restaurants, and extend that to the things guests can&apos;t see, like technology,” said Chris Taylor, Senior Director, Customer Technology Solutions at Chick-fil-A. “Ditto moves key operational data between restaurant Team Members quickly, seamlessly and with no round trips to central services. The more control and information we can put in the hands of Operators and their teams, the better they can care for customers.”

“Before Ditto, legacy retail systems tried to fight the brittle nature of cloud-only architectures by introducing on-site servers which only introduced more problems like managing additional custom hardware and unbelievable amounts of glue code. This was no doubt expensive and incredibly difficult to maintain,” said Adam Fish, Ditto co-founder and CEO. “The shift to the cloud over the past ten years has made innovation smoother and cheaper, but restaurants face serious reliability and architectural challenges. Ditto&apos;s cloud-optional platform brings true computational power to the edge - providing the best of both worlds. What Chick-fil-A has been able to accomplish with Ditto is truly amazing.”

“When we discovered Ditto, we pivoted to a data-centric architecture that takes full advantage of the power of modern edge devices,” added Taylor. “The payoff has been enormous. Ditto has enabled us to transform our POS system and meet the needs of our customers and Operators - all while saving our teams and guests valuable time.”

“Ditto is excited about the opportunity to help Alaska Airlines digitize its crew members. Our Intelligent Edge Platform enables Alaska Airlines&apos; enterprise app to truly work at the edge which is where crew do their jobs. So, it&apos;s essential for them to access real-time safety data and passenger preferences, regardless of internet status, in order to perform their jobs well. Without the digitization of key processes, airlines miss out on crucial data and analytics as well as communications capabilities that are important for greater operational efficiencies and more highly optimized customer experiences,” said Adam Fish, Ditto co-founder and CEO.

[Ditto's Intelligent Edge](https://www.ditto.live/platform) offers unified, real-time data sync for mobile, web, IoT, and server apps, even without the internet. The complete solution features an SDK with a peer-to-peer (P2P) mesh network, embedded database, and is capable of automatic conflict resolution, as well as a cloud database that can handle extreme resiliency, automatic scalability for handling unpredictable loads, and seamless integration via APIs.

General commercial aviation communications are made much more efficient by simply embedding Ditto&apos;s Intelligent Edge Platform into existing apps. Ditto allows paper processes to be digitized and synced in real-time across all crew devices, even in an airplane where network connectivity is limited or completely unavailable.

Alaska Airlines V.P. of Information Technology Vikram Baskaran on the Ditto relationship, “Our approach to developing frontline tools prioritizes close partnership with our Flight Attendants during each step of development. Ditto has been a great partner in ensuring our tools are seamless for our Flight Attendants. With their help, we have been able to support our workgroup by providing visibility of one another&apos;s inflight mobile device to see when an order has been delivered in real-time.”

Alaska Airlines Equips Flight Attendants with New Dynamic Collaboration App Powered by Ditto


_New crew app for iPad demonstrates the power of both the SwiftUI framework to develop native apps and Ditto's Intelligent Edge to enable offline data sync_

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 25, 2022 /** Ditto, creators of next-generation software that enables apps to synchronize data in real-time without internet connectivity, today announced it is powering a new app built by globally acting airline carrier Lufthansa AG that enables employees to sync important pre-flight data on iPad. The Crew App was built by Lufthansa using Apple's SwiftUI framework and is powered by [Ditto's Intelligent Edge Platform](/platform), a cross-platform peer-to-peer (P2P) database that allows apps to sync with or without network connectivity. The app equips cabin crews with real-time data at their fingertips, assisting them as they search for dangerous or foreign objects, check emergency equipment like fire extinguishers and flashlights, and monitor service equipment. By digitizing traditional paper processes, Lufthansa crews can immediately react to updated data in the app regardless of network infrastructure, which can be non-existent in or around the aircraft and resulting in improved operations.

Bespoke enterprise apps empower organizations to do their best work, yet software developer roles often go unfilled and development costs continue to rise. In response, many try to leverage web applications or cross-platform frameworks or use developers that aren't up to date in mobile application languages. SwiftUI gives enterprises the ability to build their own user-friendly apps across all of Apple's platforms with the power of Apple's Swift programming language, using just one set of tools and APIs. Lufthansa specifically built this app to run natively on iPhone and iPad, leveraging advanced networking of BLE 5 and P2P Wi-Fi, which synthesize flawlessly with Ditto's Intelligent Edge to sync apps faster than ever before without the need for any additional hardware investment.

"Our partnership with Lufthansa underscores the importance of giving enterprises the ability to build their own apps using fewer resources and development costs, thanks to SwiftUI. Ditto's Intelligent Edge technology allows quick deployment with no special hardware or equipment needed, saving time and money all around," said Adam Fish, Ditto co-founder and CEO. "In addition, the digitization of Lufthansa's documents and processes is part of a broader movement to enable deskless workers access to the same tools and efficiencies that desk-bound workers have, and we're excited to continue to invest in that."

"Apple's SwiftUI framework helped us quickly and independently develop our own native iPad app, and Ditto helped us quickly deploy it to our crew's fleet of devices. This app enables us to efficiently support Crews with a comfortable device like an iPad, and we can rest assured that Ditto's Intelligent Edge ensures our data is always up to date, even when network connectivity is poor or altogether unavailable. We look forward to the growing partnership with Ditto as we continue to invest in digitization and offline-first mobile applications," said Michael Hack, Solution Architect, Lufthansa.

The Ditto Intelligent Edge Platform enables nearly any type of edge computing system to share data real-time in a mesh, and without a central server or hardware, processing information at the edge. This provides maximum flexibility to solve some of the toughest data communications challenges.

Ditto's technology gives enterprise customers powerful tools for frontline workers to collaborate in real-time. Industries include aviation, point-of-sale, emergency work, retail, hospitality, and entertainment, where seamless connectivity and real-time data sharing is essential. Ditto's customers include Japan Airlines, Etihad Airways, HugoApp, and the US Air Force.

By digitizing traditional paper processes that can be performed instead on iPad, Lufthansa and Ditto empower crews to do their job quickly and efficiently, from anywhere. The Crew App ensures that data is always synced and up to date, independent of network infrastructure, which can be non-existent inflight or between terminals.

Worldwide, more than 2 billion frontline workers comprise 80 percent of the world's workforce. Their technological needs have been largely underserved in favor of office workers' needs who make up just 20 percent of the workforce. By digitizing frontline workers, companies can boost the productivity, safety, and agility of their workforce, fueling their competitive advantage.

_Opens Door to New Aviation Applications That Enhance Crew and Passenger Experiences_

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2021 /** Ditto, creators of mission-critical software infrastructure that enables mobile devices to synchronize data in real-time even without internet connectivity, today announced the company and its customer, Japan Airlines, have successfully completed an in-flight meal ordering application pilot. The Ditto-powered application for the first time allowed JAL crew to process passenger orders and communicate using mobile devices without an internet connection. Ditto is a real-time database which allows information to be stored and transmitted across multiple server locations all the way to a mesh of edge devices in difficult-to-connect environments.

Unreliable internet connectivity during ground operations and inside the aircraft means applications which require consistent connectivity to sync, like task management and meal ordering, can't function in or around the plane. Ditto eliminates this problem by enabling peer-to-peer synchronization, allowing devices to communicate and sync data directly with other devices in real time.

The successful pilot opens the door for airlines to create cutting-edge digital experiences using only the mobile devices already on the aircraft, such as tablets and mobile phones. Japan Airlines, which leads the industry in exemplary passenger service, recognized the potential to increase crew communications efficiencies and the airline's overall passenger experience. This pilot complements JAL's existing inflight priorities of contactless anti-COVID service, personalization, and innovation.

"JAL is the leading air carrier for good reasons: a passion for passenger experience, dedication to efficiency, and for ensuring their operations run smoothly around the clock. They absolutely set the tone for the rest of the industry," said Adam Fish, CEO and co-founder of Ditto. "The problem with a lack of real-time synchronization is that it inhibits new technologies from working properly. Ditto solves this with an elegant solution."

The meal ordering application is contactless, keeping passengers and crew from having to share devices by letting passengers order meals from their own phones. The crew were able to use Apple iPads to reliably trace passenger orders which were synced in real-time throughout the duration of the flight. Ditto also enables ground crews to more efficiently conduct maintenance activities, leading to faster turnaround times and a higher on-time flight performance.

Ditto manages the complexity of using multiple network transports such as Bluetooth, P2P Wi-Fi and LANs to find and connect with other devices, automatically syncing any and all changes.

The company's groundbreaking technology has attracted leaders across many industries, including restaurant point-of-sale, defense, emergency work, retail, hospitality, entertainment, and aviation where seamless connectivity and real-time data sharing is essential.

Japan Airlines Uses Ditto to Successfully Complete In-Flight Meal Ordering without Internet Connections


_True Ventures and Amity Ventures Invest in Technology, Enabling Use of Mobile Devices Without Disruption or Lost Data_

**SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 18, 2021 /** Ditto, creators of critical software infrastructure that enables devices to synchronize data in real time even without internet connectivity, today announces $9 million in seed funding from True Ventures and Amity Ventures. This investment will help the rapidly-growing company expand upon its core technology that enables developers to build real-time mobile and IoT applications that work anywhere, with or without an internet connection.

Ditto empowers developers to build better or entirely new types of software applications. Its real-time database allows information to be stored and transmitted across multiple locations from different data centers all the way to edge devices in difficult-to-connect environments. For example, deskless workers can collaborate regardless of internet connectivity via local peer-to-peer connections across mobile devices. This enhances productivity and provides better security, resiliency and reduced latency.

Ditto's groundbreaking technology has attracted leaders across many industries, including aviation, restaurant point-of-sale, defense, emergency work, retail, hospitality and entertainment, where seamless connectivity and real-time data sharing is essential. With a growing customer roster, the company has doubled in size in the past year with plans to continue changing the way companies connect, share and store data.

"Data is growing vast and more distributed than ever, and traditional client-server software architectures can no longer effectively support these changes," said Adam Fish, CEO and co-founder of Ditto. "This is why we built novel data infrastructure that can run across mobile, web, IoT and server systems, and automatically sync data peer-to-peer. Ditto gives developers the capabilities to store and transmit data in real time from anywhere, which is necessary to support the security, resiliency and latency forces transforming software."

"We have tens of thousands of fans entering the gates to watch the World Cup qualifying games," said Alejandro Argumedo, CEO of HugoApp, a delivery app for goods, entertainment and services in Latin America and the Caribbean. "Any disruption to the ticket-scanning process upon entry could be chaos. With Ditto, we are protected. We have real-time, contactless ticket scanning regardless of internet connectivity, and we won't lose the data needed to report on ticket sales and fulfilment."

"Syncing data when internet connectivity is unreliable or unavailable is a growing problem," said Om Malik of True Ventures. "This problem with real-time synchronization inhibits an increasing number of new technologies from working properly. Ditto solves this with an elegant solution."
