Resource-planning teams in airports interested in a tool to optimize fixed infrastructure allocation and improve real-time responsiveness and asset utilization
About GroundStar
GroundStar, the Airport Resource Management solution by INFORM Software, is designed to optimize the allocation and usage of fixed airport infrastructure such as stands, gates, baggage belts, and check-in counters. It enables airports to efficiently plan short-, medium-, and long-term capacity by applying built-in optimization algorithms that consider business rules, stand and gate preferences, and infrastructure constraints. It supports sophisticated what-if scenario modelling and real-time decision support, allowing resource managers to respond quickly to deviations or disruptions. By leveraging machine-learning-driven analytics and historical data, the software predicts resource utilization and helps minimize bottlenecks, enabling smarter allocation of resources on the day of operation and improving punctuality and passenger/airline satisfaction.

Better Airport
Better Airport is a cloud-native SaaS platform designed to unify planning, analysis, and operations across airport functions, connecting formerly siloed processes such as check-in, baggage, security, stand/gate, and immigration. Built around the concept of “Connected Operations,” it provides a single source of truth for operational forecasting, resource optimization, and real-time decision-making by linking outcomes across passenger, baggage, and aircraft flows. It is modular, comprising nine core modules that airports can deploy incrementally (e.g., forecasting, check-in, security, virtual queuing, stand & gate) and scale up as needs grow. By integrating with existing systems, including AODB and other operational back-ends, it allows airports of all sizes to operate more efficiently and make data-driven decisions to reduce wait times, optimize staffing/equipment allocation, and enhance the passenger experience from curb to gate.

Flightscape
Flightscape Airport Management offers an integrated, cloud-native solution designed to choreograph airport operations across all stakeholders and phases of the airport day. It brings together real-time operational data, alerts, and dashboards so airport control centres can monitor arrivals, departures, aircraft stand and gate occupancy, ground-handling tasks, resource usage, passenger flows, baggage connections, and disruption scenarios in one unified view. Flightscape’s modular architecture allows operators to deploy exactly what they need, whether gate-turn-planning, stand-allocation, turnaround coordination, or full operations-control centre workflows. Because it is built as a modern SaaS platform, it supports rapid updates, flexible scaling, secure APIs for integration with existing systems (such as AODB, resource-management, ramp-handling, crew, and airline operations systems), and continuous delivery of enhancements without heavy local IT overhead.
