The workforce optimization, workforce planning, workforce scheduling, and workforce management solution for mission critical and labor intensive environments

The Ascent WorkZone® workforce management system is the intelligent workforce optimization, workforce planning, workforce scheduling, and workforce management solution for mission critical and labor intensive environments. The system creates the best plans to meet your forecasted workload, turns optimal plans into schedules, assigns workers to schedules, adjusts schedules and assignments as workloads change, assigns tasks to workers in real time, and tracks time and attendance.

The Ascent WorkZone workforce management system adjusts work schedules in response to actual conditions. The system identifies worker shortfalls, worker overages, and uncovered tasks as they emerge and suggests worker reassignments, early outs, and minimal cost extra hours.

The system provides worker-centric, web-enabled, self-service tools that enable workers to choose work and vacation schedules, to view work schedules and assignments, to trade work periods with co-workers, and to make work, leave, and vacation requests.

The Ascent WorkZone workforce management system provides powerful analyses and comprehensive reports so you can analyze past performance and improve future performance.

The air transportation industry solutions

The SmartAirline® Operations Center solution and the SmartAirport Operation Center® solution are the intelligent capacity planning, long term planning, short term planning, and real time day of operations management systems for airlines, airports, and ground handlers. The solutions determine the effects changes in flight schedules, passenger traffic, and airline and airport resources have on operations.

The solutions support the short-term planning and real-time management of key airport resources, such as gates, stands, remote parking positions, check-in counters, baggage belts, equipment, and departure lounges. They manage a broad range of day-of-operation activities, from determining when departing aircraft meet security guidelines to managing queues at check-in counters and security checkpoints. And, they provide intelligent real-time schedule-recovery support when operations do not go according to plan.

Both solutions contain a version of the Ascent WorkZone workforce management system, customized for operation in the air transportation environment. The SmartAirline Operations Center solution also plans lines of flight for seasonal schedules, assigns aircraft to routes, and tracks aircraft in real time.
