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.

Assaia
Assaia delivers an AI- and computer-vision-powered solution built for airports, airlines, and ground-handlers to gain real-time visibility and predictive control of turnaround and apron operations. It ingests live video feeds from existing stand-cameras and other sensors, converts them into structured event data, and applies machine-learning models to compute key metrics such as predicted off-block time, predicted ready-for-departure time, and alert conditions for service tasks. Benefits include improved on-time performance, reduced ground delays, higher gate and stand utilization, fewer safety incidents, and lower fuel/taxi time. It supports dashboards with live turn tracking (watchlists), alert logic tied to airlines’ business rules (for tasks like cleaning, pushback, baggage loading), mobile alerting, API/data-export capabilities, and exception-management workflows.

Sabre Airport Management
Airlines are always under pressure to operate more efficiently and optimize their workforce utilization. At the same time, they must continuously strive to deliver an outstanding passenger experience. Given the competitive nature of today’s marketplace, airlines are even more challenged to streamline their business and do more with fewer resources than ever before. Airport Management is a suite of solutions that provides flexible resource management and optimization tools that can increase operational efficiency, decrease costs and improve the customer experience. Along the way, it can boost employee satisfaction as well. By producing quantifiable results, Airport Management allows airlines to realize powerful benefits. Labor costs can be reduced up to 25% and staff utilization improved by up to 7%. Not only that, flight delay costs can be cut by as much as 5%, gate use improved by up to 20% and gate coordinator usage decreased by as much as 50%.

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.
