Rostima extends its lead in the aviation sector
London UK – 21st February 2005: Rostima Ltd, a global leader in
the development and supply of Enterprise Workforce Management solutions, has
announced that Air France Services Limited (AFSL) has chosen Rostima software
to optimise management of its staff.
AFSL is based at Heathrow airport, London and currently provides ground handling
services to 12 airline companies including its parent company Air France. Its
services and operations range from ticket sales, passenger check-in, and baggage
handling to loading aircraft, and monitoring aircraft weight and balance.
The agreement is for the implementation of Rostima’s Scheduler, DutyPlanner,
and DutyManager tools to manage the varied and complicated work patterns of
AFSL’s 350 members of staff and to provide improved workforce planning
and scheduling efficiencies.
“We evaluated a number of solutions and suppliers and ultimately selected
Rostima,” said John Billett, Finance Manager, AFSL. “The Rostima
team is highly professional, the results of the product trial we had were very
good, and the pricing was competitive. We believe Rostima will provide us with
improved workforce efficiency and productivity and as a result, labour savings
and cost-savings.”
“Kim Berknov, CEO of Rostima commented: “This agreement further
demonstrates Rostima’s unique position within the overall transportation
market of the UK and Europe. With customers such as AFSL, ASIG, Securicor and
Luton Airport, Rostima Workforce Management solutions are fast becoming the
industry standard for aviation, ground transportation and associated services
companies seeking to optimise workforce efficiency.”
Rostima’s DutyPlanner module is a forecasting and workload modelling
tool that matches staffing to customer demand. It ensures that the right number
of resources are scheduled and that business peaks and troughs in customer demand
are covered. This is a highly graphical module that allows service parameters
to be varied to quickly analyse the resourcing implications of new event schedules.
Rostima Scheduler produces optimal schedules which match workload to staff resources
while taking into account employee preference and availability.
Rostima’s DutyManager module provides costing of scheduled activities,
very fast what-if capability to match schedules to new scenarios, tracking of
planned and actual employee assignments, and measurement of employee utilisation
against budget and strategy.
