Airport and Ground Handling Resource Management Systems

GS Planning offers functionality to increase productivity and make better use of existing capacities.

The current economic crisis confronts the aviation industry with multiple challenges. Conditions might, and in fact do change drastically with very short notice to fluctuating flight capacities, fast changing flight-schedules and airlines using different, often smaller, aircraft types. Cost-cutting measures have become more important than ever and international consulting firms emphasise that service providers should focus on higher productivity and investment in growth to support their future potential and ensure their long-term success.

Strategic planning must therefore aim at maximum flexibility. GS Planning deals with this challenge through its ability to build scenarios. By defining different conditions and indicators, managers are able to foresee alternative developments and take the necessary steps. Furthermore, the results can be monitored during the whole on-going planning process depending on the changing environment.

By comparing operational data with planning data, GS Planning helps managers determine best practice scenarios. In this way profitability can be ensured and the opportunities that the crisis offers can be used to the advantage of the company.

A crisis also offers opportunities, which can only be taken by quickly responding to changing market conditions. The flexible planning options of GS Planning helps managers put their company at an advantage.
