AACHEN, Germany and ATLANTA, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INFORM, a leading global software provider specializing in AI-driven optimization solutions for aviation ground operations, introduces GroundStar (GS) TeamWork. This powerful new tool for airlines and ground handlers supports their frontline managers on smaller operations or hubs by making task allocation on the apron or in the terminal quicker and more efficient, relieving the central allocators.
GS TeamWork, the latest tool of the GroundStar software suite, offers a task-based overview of current and upcoming flights, staff deployment, overall capacity utilization and break planning. This applies for multiple business areas on the apron or the terminal, such as aircraft loading or gate services. The mobile-first web app allows frontline managers to plan and assign tasks for all staff members on duty in their area through a mobile interface. Instead of performing the task allocation manually on paper or spreadsheets, the local frontline managers can efficiently assign tasks, adapt to changes, and optimize resource utilization.
Operational problems like overlapping deployment times or agents who have not been informed can now be solved or even avoided easily by earlier recognition and quicker reaction. In the event of a disruption, GS TeamWork’s user-friendly interface allows for easy adjustments to be made, either manually or through its quick, data-driven decision support, which offers optimized solutions for passenger services as well as ramp operations. Employees receive updates in the app instantly, including key details on delays or changes that may affect them.
"GS TeamWork delivers a shortcut in ground operations communication. At larger airports, we can allow the central allocation to concentrate on cross-utilizing staff between work areas where necessary, leaving the actual task allocation to the frontline managers who have the best overview and judgment on current tasks in their area," said Michael Reinkober, INFORM product manager.
Leveraging real-time data and proactive suggestions, the frontline managers can mitigate disruptions more quickly. Subsequently, costly delays are reduced, and more efficient and reliable ground operations are assured.
