Highlighting GroundStar (GS) RegionMaster: A Game-Changer for Regional Operations

A key highlight of INFORM’s participation is the introduction of GS RegionMaster. This innovative new product enables regional managers of airlines to monitor disruptions or irregularities at smaller and mid-size operations across their entire network in real-time and be able to react immediately. All stations can be monitored on one screen so that a quick response can be made in the event of disruptions, making the best possible use of existing resources to enhance operational reliability and efficiency.

With PlaaS, INFORM, together with its partner Cost Aviation, offers a cloud-based solution as well as planning services that eliminates the need for airports to install software to provide optimized strategic and tactical planning with minimal effort and cost. This service is particularly beneficial for addressing the challenges of increasing passenger demand, flight schedule disruptions, and labor shortages.

Enhancing Aircraft and Terminal Operations

The GS Planning Stands & Terminal module brings unparalleled efficiency to the long-, medium-, and short-term planning of aircraft parking positions and terminal resources. Utilizing powerful optimization algorithms, it aids planners in automatically creating optimal allocation plans. In parallel, GS Planning Staff and Equipment utilizes those algorithms to create personnel shift demands and ground support equipment requirements.

Additionally, INFORM's GS WorkforcePlus is an innovative roster solution that improves communication and interaction between planners and employees, facilitating efficient vacation planning, schedule adjustments, and shift swaps. It also offers precise evaluations of absences, overtime, premiums, and recorded times.

"We are thrilled to present our latest advancements at PTE 2024, showcasing how INFORM's technology can lead the way in solving the aviation industry's most pressing challenges," said Uschi Schulte-Sasse, senior vice president INFORM Aviation. "Our solutions are designed to empower airports, airlines, and ground handlers to achieve unparalleled operational efficiency and reliability."

INFORM invites all PTE attendees to visit their booth to discover how these innovative solutions can transform their operational dynamics.
