The aviation industry has enjoyed ongoing expansion since the 1960s, and while they have had an enforced lay-off due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the aviation sector is ready to roll out their services to the world once again. As you can imagine, the logistics of a major airport are considerable and offer a challenge to make the best use of all available resources, which is where airport automated process comes into play.

  • Capacity Planning – An integral part of airport management, capacity planning is a module that brings you accurate workload demand forecasts, enabling you to manage your workforce effectively. This is applied to both flight and maintenance schedules and the control centre would always be informed and ready for busy periods. A workload requirement profile according to skill and role can be automatically generated, allowing you to better manage your workforce, keeping your running costs down. The software module would have many powerful features that empower airport management, and by talking to the industry professionals at https://www.tambla.com.au/industries/aviation/, you can learn more about the many benefits that this state-of-the-art software offers.
  • Scheduling – This module balances the work requirement with the available resources, and that takes the headache out of workforce scheduling, as you can rest assured that work schedules are optimised for the expected workload. The software takes into account employee contracts, preferences, availability, competency and union issues when allocating tasks, thus ensuring that staff are doing work that is best suited. Alternative forward-looking schedules can be generated, just in case of unexpected changes in schedules, which is a very valuable tool for an airport manager to have, as you always need to stay one step ahead. Aside from this, the module has extensive ‘what if?’ forecast abilities, allowing you to cover every scenario in this ever-changing world we live in.
  • Attendance & Time – You can seamlessly record time staff are working, while merging your payroll for easy accounting, also automating work rules and award interpretation. This allows you to control labour costs, minimise compliance risk and improve productivity, and this also helps to manage time and attendance.
  • Employee Leave Management – This is not something you can do without, a system that tracks staff leave, ensuring you receive adequate notification, and the system takes into account staff training, absence for family reasons, sickness and annual holidays. Once the data is entered, the system monitors employee absence and makes sure that you are always covered, especially with specialist aircraft maintenance.
  • Employee Self-Service – Using kiosks or the cloud, your employees can apply for leave, and by assigning colours such as, green = available, amber = pending authorisation and finally red = no leave availability on these dates. The cloud-based system allows all staff to apply for leave and manages the availability to ensure that you always have minimum staff available at all skill levels.
