Redefining airport resourcing with confidence and simplicity
Every day, thousands of tasks are performed throughout an airport: from security, to cleaning, baggage handling, assisting passengers with reduced mobility, and beyond. Traditionally, these tasks are allocated manually, often using pen and paper, or – in best case scenarios – with a spreadsheet.
Until now, no digital tool existed to help relieve the pressure on staff planners. Instead, they have had to rely on gut instinct to make decisions that can profoundly affect operational effectiveness. As well as being complex and time-consuming for planners, manual planning doesn’t account for unforeseen disruptions such as cancelled or rescheduled flights, changes in staff availability, or lane closures.
Better Deployment is the solution. The first tool of its kind, Better Deployment smartly automates the way tasks are allocated, optimizing the process. Employees are assigned tasks that match their skills, and receive notifications when they should take their breaks, ensuring union law compliance. The module even updates in real-time, factoring in flight changes and staff availability to ensure continuity of operations, and providing management with a ‘single-source-of-truth’ overview.
