Master Challenges in ground handling Resource Management

Make the best out of your staff and ground equipment. React quickly to disruptions.

airport resources are increasingly complex

As the aviation industry evolves rapidly, the demand for improved airport resource management is higher than ever. Passenger numbers are rising. Operational complexity is increasing. Sustainability targets are tightening. Yet many airports face the same fundamental challenge: how to grow performance without expanding infrastructure. 

Supported by AI algorithms, INFORM's airport management software helps airport leaders meet this challenge directly. It optimizes the use of existing gates, stands, and fixed resources. The result is greater capacity, sharper operational control, and the agility to deliver on strategic goals – from improving punctuality to reducing emissions and costs.

Meet operational demands and individual ground staff requirements

Successful workforce management must consider criteria such as demand requirements, workplace regulatory mandates, individuals' qualifications and preferences, and schedules. GroundStar enables an optimized creation of rosters based on such criteria. Planners can improve their time management stemming from the roster's dynamic maintenance. At the same time, employee satisfaction increases as their availability and preferences are better accommodated. This is complemented by an employee app that combines flexible shift scheduling, clear communication, and digital self-services in one user-friendly application.

Respond flexibly to time-critical operational changes

Based on real-time data and AI-powered decision support, GroundStar by INFORM enables a prompt response, keeping you in control of evolving challenges. With people in the loop at every step, the improved situational awareness gained on the Day-of-Ops facilitates seamless oversight of all activities, even as flight irregularities challenge their completion.

Success Story

More Passengers. The same Infrastructure. The Solution in Place.

Airports worldwide face the same challenge: passenger numbers keep growing, but the numbers of runways, gates, and apron positions don't. Every unoccupied stand, every misallocated gate, every reactive decision costs time and money.

INFORM's GroundStar software suite gives airport operators the decision support they need to get more out of the infrastructure they already have. From strategic capacity planning to seasonal scheduling and day-of-operations allocation, your teams work with clear, data-driven recommendations — across gates, apron positions, and terminal resources.
