Welcome

At Unilode, we pride ourselves on meticulous attention to detail and consistency in all areas of our business and we believe our brand should reflect this consistently online, on paper, in words and photography.

Essentially, our brand needs to be as airworthy as the ULDs we supply and manage and, as we know, this requires a certain level of care and attention.

So take your time, kick the tyres, have a look under the bonnet – see what makes our brand unique.

Unilode Brand Guidelines Our visual identity

Master logo

Our brand is made up of a number of important elements but our logo, the visual representation of our brand, is often the first thing our customers, prospects and industry partners see so is without doubt the most important.

Consistency in its presentation is key and really sets the standard for the way we maintain uniformity and clarity across all the elements of our brand identity and communications.

Our emblem

33

Our emblem is constructed using strong modular elements that combine to create the ‘u’. It references the characteristic cut-away corner of the most common ULD. The sharpened stems of the ‘u’ create a set of geometric wings, symbolising upward movement and flight.

The clear space surrounding our emblem is half the width of one of the vertical strips.

Using our emblem

Do Anchor the emblem to the bottom right.

Centre it vertically and horizontally in the space.

Don’t Anchor the emblem to the bottom left.

Anchor it to the top.

Typography

Our brand font is Suisse Int’l. It’s a versatile sans serif font that should be used across branded material where possible. If technical restrictions mean you cannot use Suisse Int’l, for example powerpoint templates, typed documents, or screen applications then Helvetica or Arial should be used.

Colour palette

Our choice of colours has been considered so that our visual identity sits comfortably within the aviation environment (avoiding confusion with navigational signposting or hazard warnings, etc.) and works neatly alongside the varied brands of our customers. Ultimately, Unilode is a timeless, global brand and our choice of colour reflects this in its bold simplicity and tonal neutrality.

Photography

64

Unilode Identity Guidelines Photography

How we select and use photography plays a key part in reinforcing our core values. Our photography speaks volumes about our brand so the correct usage and selection of images should be considered as important as choosing the right words to use in front of our customers. Overleaf we have attributed our values to the kind of imagery that broadcasts our personality and professionalism best.

65

Unilode Brand Guidelines Photography

67

Personable

Reliable

Expert

Innovative

We prefer to use natural, unposed imagery of our own people rather than stock imagery posed by models.

Relaxed behind-the-scenes shots of our back office and ground staff teams working together with a smile or individually with a quiet diligence are perfect. We are hardworking but human and our imagery should show that.

We are committed to raising the importance and awareness of the role of ULDs within the aviation industry.

Imagery that shows how integral the ULD is to the aviation supply system by putting it into context on the runway alongside passenger or freight aircraft works to convey the importance of the equipment we manage and exemplifies our role in delivering efficiencies within a global industry.

We are world leaders because of our scale and our ability to consistently meet the demands of our customers.

Imagery that best demonstrates our flexibility and readiness shows our teams organised and in control at key stages. We want to show our people and our working environments are optimised to create seamless workflows and deliver industry-leading solutions.

We pride ourselves on developing technology that sets us apart from the competition and drives efficiencies for our customers. Imagery that shows our technical aptitude and our incorporation technology into our workflow is essential in conveying our innovative approach to our work.

We know that meeting passenger expectations and increasing cargo revenue in an uncertain global economy requires a strategic partner with the right solutions for your needs. We are that partner.

Our asset management, supply and repair services for unit load devices (ULDs), galley carts and ground support equipment will help you focus on your core business of flying passengers and cargo whilst delivering significant cost savings and operational benefits across your network. We do this by providing tailor-made outsourcing solutions to meet the specific needs of your business and enhance your operations.

ULDs: part of our DNA

Unilode Aviation Solutions is the leading global provider of outsourced ULD management and ULD and inflight equipment repair solutions. We own and manage approximately 120,000 ULDs for more than 40 airline customers across a network of 450 airports and 50 repair and service centres.

Our name is new but our roots stretch back to the original ULD management pioneer, Unitpool, who introduced the ULD outsourcing concept to the aviation industry in 2002. After leading the way for nearly a decade, Unitpool merged with ULD and galley cart repair and maintenance specialists Driessen Services, JMI Aerospace and Airworld to become CHEP Aerospace Solutions in 2011.

Following its acquisition from parent company Brambles by EQT Infrastructure in 2016, CHEP Aerospace Solutions rebranded to become Unilode Aviation Solutions. Today, even our name stems from the term unit load device.

Complete ULD Management Solutions

Benefits for your business Initial capital injection for selling your ULD fleet to Unilode No CAPEX and less OPEX - average OPEX savings of 15%

Complete ULD Management Solutions

Repair and maintenance included with assured airworthiness to certified industry standards Greater flexibility with scalable stocks accommodating immediate, peak and growth requirements Fuel and CO2 savings through lightweight ULDs and reduced ULD repositioning Hassle-free solution - 24/7/365 global support Extra revenue opportunities - the right ULD type at the right station at the right time

Running a fleet of ULDs is often mission-critical, with the risk of unforeseen costs never far away.

So we’ve made it our mission to help airlines reduce their ULD-driven costs across six key areas; 1

CAPEX and OPEX - capital and operating costs tied up in ULD operations

2 Maintenance and repair - uncertainty in costs and hassle in managing ongoing maintenance of ULD fleets to ensure airworthiness

3 Lost ULDs and pallet nets - administration effort in tracking missing assets and cost of replacements 4 Peaks and imbalances - costs for the variation in ULD demands at each network station

5 Fluctuating fuel price - traditional heavy ULDs generate excessive fuelburn and CO2 impact

6 Opportunity cost - foregone revenue of lost cargo sales due to ULD shortages

Smarter ULD solutions

We work closely with you to deliver total cost of ownership (TCO) clarity through an initial cost audit and analysis and then provide the right solution for your network, either through our ULD pool or a dedicated fleet.

We supply the right ULDs in an airworthy condition, in the right place and at the right time, every time. When you partner with Unilode Aviation Solutions, you benefit from a smarter ULD solution for your passenger and cargo network.

New generation ULDs

Supporting our customers’ desire to generate fuel cost saving (around US$ 2,200 to 2,600/ year/container position), we have converted our entire fleet of LD3 containers used by passenger airlines to lightweight units, which reduce carbon emission by around 30%, increase cargo capacity and revenue, and reduce maintenance and repair costs.

Visit unilode.com and insert your aircraft and ULD fleet data into our fuel saving calculator to find out how much you can save with our lightweight ULDs, including capital expenditure, as we take over the cost of converting your fleet to lightweight containers.

Focus - ULD management app

Our Focus app simplifies several paper-based ULD-related processes, saving time and money for airlines, ground handling agents and other key industry stakeholders. It liaises with web-based tools and is able to; • read the ULD ID code via barcode scanning or optical character recognition

• record and transmit ULD messages in the standard IATA format • submit stock data and ad-hoc track and trace requests

ACTIS generates real-time and historic reports, tracks galley carts, enables reduced turnaround times and improves asset utilisation by providing valuable insights into total cost of ownership (TCO).

It is also utilised to improve ULD and galley cart design by tracking damage trends and sharing statistics with the manufacturers.

CanTrackTM - 2015 IATA Air Cargo Innovation Award Winner

One of our most exciting innovations is the award-winning CanTrackTM, a GPRS tracking solution for ULDs, consisting of a solar panel and a customised power converter which are fitted onto the container and harness solar energy to charge the onboard batteries.

CanTrackTM provides accurate real-time information on temperature, humidity, impact and the location of the ULD and its cargo, enabling damage reduction, greater visibility and improved velocity through the supply chain. It also provides on-board safety improvements and value-added applications for high value and temperature-controlled goods, among other benefits.

Our tone of voice

114

Unilode Brand Guidelines Our tone of voice

Our tone of voice

Our tone of voice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how we say what we say â&#x20AC;&#x201C; allows us to communicate our professionalism and expertise.

115

The way we use language reveals what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like as people and as a brand.

It brings our values to life and sets up expectations about what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to do business with us.

As such, our brand voice has a direct impact on how credible, appealing and interesting we are. In some cases it can make the difference between being heard or being ignored. But used consistently and well, our tone of voice makes us distinctive and recognisable, making it easier for our customers to trust, engage and do business with us.

116

Unilode Brand Guidelines Our tone of voice

Application

As with people, we cannot be everything at once, or one thing all the time. Like a person, our tone of voice can flex depending on what we’re saying and who we’re saying it to – but it still sounds like the same person.

In talking about new opportunities we may be more expert, or about new products more innovative. At all times, our basis will be personable and reliable – because that’s how we work best.

Finally, our guidelines make no distinction between writing and speaking. So, write like you speak and always read what you write out loud.

If it sounds dull and complicated to you, it will to everyone else. Re-write it.

117

Personable

Reliable

We use simple, contemporary language in the personal voice, having open, good humoured conversations with our clients, always keeping jargon and industry speak to a minimum.

In concise language and the active tense, we put what’s important and relevant to our clients upfront. Showing we’re focused on what matters to them makes it easier to trust us.

We are everyday and engaging

Do

— use ‘we’, ‘our’, ‘yours’ not ‘it’ and ‘them’ — talk like a person not a company and use simple syntax and sentence constructions

— vary the length of sentences to create the rhythm of good conversation Don’t

— be too formal. Natural speech mixes ‘they’re’ and ‘it’s’ with ‘they are’ and ‘it is’. This is also a simple way to stress important points — get over-familiar. We’re friendly but not anyone’s best mate

— constantly stress how hard working, dedicated and focused we are. Show we enjoy life too. It makes us better company and colleagues

We are consistently direct and clear

Do

— use the active tense wherever possible, it’s clearer, shorter and quicker to read

— respect the time and intelligence of your audience. Lead with what’s most important. Give the context where it’s not obvious

— be transparent. Use short caveats in general writing and the minimum of understandable contractual small print.

Don’t

— over-simplify your language or content if it risks glossing over important things your audience should know

— start with a negative statement, too many ifs, buts and maybes sound uncertain

— over explain. If it’s unclear the first time, re-write rather than add

118

Unilode Brand Guidelines Our tone of voice

Expert

Innovative

We know our stuff and pro-actively share it in a diligent, detailed and straightforward way, making sure we give each client the right degree of practical support.

In simple sentences with a minimum of punctuation, what we say is informed and timely. Ambitious and always looking for the smarter option, we talk about what can be changed or done better, not what we’ve done.

We are informed and reassuring

Do

— illustrate complex issues with a pertinent example, simple analogy or a real story

— be accurate, get the facts and figures right as well as the grammar and punctuation — use service and sector details to avoid predictable or anodyne descriptions. But be clear about what such details mean for your client and business Don’t

— be patronising or try and sound impressive for the sake of it

— overload with unnecessary detail.

Concentrate on what’s relevant and important

— assume everyone knows what to do with the information we provide.

Ensure people know what to do next

We are progressive and determined

Do

— have a point of view and perspective on our role in the sector as well as our impact and the issues beyond it — use simple analogies and apt metaphors to lift your writing and increase understanding – but apply sparingly

— focus on answers not problems – but don’t gloss over issues and concerns Don’t

— be afraid to take an opposing view

— repeat what’s already been said or tell people what they already know

— cram too many different ideas and topics into a single piece – strong, single-minded communications are more effective

119

The top ten checklist for writers Get a clear brief, plan what you want to say before you start writing and then: — Be personal not impersonal

— Avoid verbal padding – make every word count — Never use the passive when you can use the active

— Don’t use a long word where a short one will do

— Remember your audience – are you telling them what they need to know?

— Never use words or terms whose meaning you’re not sure of

— Be accurate with your facts – that way your argument will be convincing — Vary your voice – remember impact can be made quietly

— Link facts in a clear logical order and start with what’s the most important — Edit ruthlessly – your first draft shouldn’t be your last

1. Be engaging

Engage your audience and speak directly to whoever is reading or listening. Use ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’ to refer to us and ‘you’ and ‘yours’ to refer to our audience. Avoid ‘it’ and ‘them’.

Make sure you use ‘we’ in an inviting, engaging sense. Do not use it condescendingly. Talk to and with people, not at them. Create a dialogue with open ended questions.

Be present in what you write and don’t try to exclude yourself from our communications. It is ‘we’ll email you’ or ‘I’ll reply to you’ not ‘a communication will be sent’.

2. Be active and positive

Keep it active and in the future tense: ‘we will’ not ‘we did’, ‘we’re recommending’ not ‘it is recommended that’ and ‘we think’ not ‘it is thought that.’

Linking the active and the positive produces more personal communications.

They also have greater impact, even in everyday examples. So:

‘we’ll update you within five days’ not ‘updates will be provided in five days.’

120

Unilode Brand Guidelines Our tone of voice

3. Avoid unnecessary words

Some words and phrases add nothing but padding.

Strong verbs and nouns don’t need help. So don’t overdo the adverbs and adjectives – very few add anything more to the final outcome.

Don’t equate adding words with adding clarity: ‘At this moment in time’ means ‘now’.

‘Due to the fact that’ means ‘because’.

Cut out phrases such as ‘before we come to that’ and ‘in the meantime’.

Budgets are not ‘cut back’ they are ‘cut’.

A ‘top priority’ is the same as a ‘priority’; it’s a ‘result’ not an ‘end result’.

Always look for the direct way to say it, not the most direct. For example, exhibition traffic surged higher after the excellent reviews – here ‘higher’ is redundant as it’s impossible to surge lower.

4. Be simple

Don’t make it hard for our audience with complicated language, platitudes, sports or broadcasting jargon or stylistic flourishes.

Simple writing isn’t simplistic: it’s the simplest, most effective way of making your point.

Use simple words and constructions.

They’re quicker and more direct: sums up rather than encapsulates, finds

out rather than ascertains, buys not purchases.

Don’t try to sound too impressive or dramatic for the sake of it – choose the straightforward, everyday word whenever possible. It’s quicker and more effective.

A word such as ‘open’ is more insightful of an attitude than the more complicated ‘accessible’

Too formal language is just dull. So it’s ‘think’ not ‘cogitate’. ‘talk’ not ‘converse.’

Don’t try to impress people with loads of industry stats, highly technical explanations, histories or endless facts and figures. It doesn’t make us appear more expert and or personal. It makes us tedious.

5. Cut out cliché and jargon

Nothing dates your writing as quickly as cliché, nor so completely undermines the intelligence of what we’re saying.

Cut it out.

The only jargon that’s permissible is a term in widespread and accepted use within a profession, industry, audience or business.

Sparing use of it then shows we’re informed. Over-­use of it is the verbal equivalent of your Dad dancing.

6. Be definite

Avoid routinely starting sentences with words like ‘perhaps’, imagine,’

121

‘maybe’, ‘possibly’. Over a whole piece the impact is negative and will make us sound uncertain and potentially unreliable.

Remember this is a guide. Mixing longer and shorter sentences gives a piece a texture more like the flow of good conversation.

Always use the most definite option.

Alongside sounding like we know what we’re doing, it’s warmer and friendlier.

Large blocks of solid text can be daunting to read. Find ways to break it up with subheads, varying the length of paragraphs.

7. Sentence and paragraph length

9. Be prepared

It is the difference between using ‘we will’ and ‘we might’. The first sounds open and positive; the second appears guarded and uncertain.

Good writing is precise, relevant and to the point. That doesn’t mean short, just the most effective way to deliver the message.

Sentences should have a maximum of 25 words and one idea per sentence.

Always check your word count and always aim to be less than 25. It’s a good discipline.

So sentences are as short as they need to be to make your point though longer sentences can build a rhythm that’s good to read. (25 words) Short is good too. (4 words)

8. Break up long paragraphs

Aim for five sentences per paragraph.

Use sub-­heads to break up longer pieces of writing. These are ranged left and start with a capital.

Use double spacing between paragraphs. Use single space between lines of text.

Consider the visual impact of your writing – how inviting does it look to read?

If you think well you write well.

Plan what you want to say and always ask: what does this audience want or need to know?

Always assume intelligence not knowledge – it’s up to you to make sure they know.

Don’t exaggerate or over claim, people spot hyperbole a mile off.

10. Write and re-­write

Few first drafts are perfect. Re-writing is where good writers make the difference.

Secondly, good writing sounds like good conversation. It has changes of pace, it is clear, it has a recognizable tone and it makes its points simply.

Read what you write aloud. If it sounds dull to you, then it will be dull for your audience. re-write it.
