A U.K.-based tech company is transforming how airlines keep track of fuel for their airplanes, a process one co-founder said remains surprisingly archaic for many carriers and the airports and fuel companies they coordinate with.

“When we started, the goal was to bring real-time technology, mobile technology, to an industry that was very paper-driven, very manually processed across the world, and still is to some extent,” said Alex Mattos, chief operating officer at i6 Group. “Some places are very digital, some places are still paper and pencils.”
