For which logistics and airline companies is Papershift suitable?
Multiple locations, changing schedules and strict requirements for qualifications and safety: in logistics and airline ground operations, personnel management must be spot on at all times. Papershift centralises planning and reliably reflects short-term changes.
Typical challenges in logistics and airline ground operations
Logistics and airline companies have to plan different roles at several hubs simultaneously.
Resource planning follows the flight schedule, which can change on a daily basis. Using multiple tools for this purpose leads to friction losses.
Challenges in day-to-day operations
- Simultaneous planning of ramp agents, loaders, dispatch, cabin cleaning and security
- Daily changes in working hours due to flight movements
- Separate tools for each department
- High coordination effort between base manager, shift supervisor and HR
Typical problems with manual or distributed planning
Lack of transparency and manual coordination have a direct impact on operations and punctuality.
- Key roles not filled in the event of delays
- Short-term changes such as crew swaps or gate changes
- Manual qualification checks (e.g. pushback licence)
- High communication and coordination effort
