There is a better place...
- where staffing needs is translated into a shift pattern that meets any demand.
BETTER SHIFT
The right people in the right place at the right time. Only with Better Shift: The future of shift planning.
In most airports, shift planning is still done the same way it has been for decades: manual spreadsheets and a reliance on the instincts and insights of a few key planners. It’s time-consuming and prone to breakdown when demand surges or key planners depart. Better Shift takes the ‘best guess’ approach out of the equation, replacing it with an automated process that translates staffing needs into a shift pattern that meets any demand.
Better Shift is simple to use, can be deployed for any department at any time, and integrates seamlessly with your workforce management solution. Automating the rostering process ensures you’ll minimize unnecessary overtime while ensuring your staff receive their preferred shifts more often, improving employee satisfaction and the customer experience.
Better Shift is part of Better Airport® – the world’s leading connected operations platform for airport operators.
Three key benefits for your airport:
In-built resilience – Better Shift’s algorithmic approach makes light work of the complexities of shift planning , including Union regulations and other mandated staffing directives. You can rest assured that your rosters will cover fluctuations in short-, medium- and long-term demand as well as seasonal changes. And automated shifts can be easily adjusted when necessary.
Cost-effective automation from Day 1 – Having too many people on site harms your bottom line while having too few derails productivity and disrupts the customer experience. Better Shift ensures there are always the right number of people for any job , anywhere in the airport.
Easy to use - throughout the airport – Shift planning is complex and is typically carried out on legacy software or time-consuming spreadsheets. Better Shift is intuitive to use, making planning an accessible experience. And because data from every other Better Airport module flows seamlessly into Better Shift, it can be used to plan rosters in all departments, ensuring cohesive staff planning throughout the airport.
Forward planning
Better Border gives operators the knowledge they need to plan all immigration hall processes outside of the immigration process itself. When you can predict passenger flows and have a clearer overview of your own capacity, you can allocate your resources with greater accuracy and ensure a smoother experience for your passengers.
Ongoing optimization
Even the best plans can fail from time to time so Better Border uses real-time flights and passenger flow data so you can continuously optimize your day-to-day execution – while still anticipating potentially demanding circumstances.
