The challenge: a turnaround recorded on paper
Before FIRST ramp, Airpro recorded turnaround activity on clipboards and printed checklists — written down first, typed up later.
- Supervisors had limited real-time visibility of the operation
- Paper records could be lost, damaged or hard to retrieve
- Resource allocation was reactive, and admin piled up after departure
Why FIRST ramp
Airpro wanted a system handlers would use on the ramp, carrying captured services through to planning, reporting and billing.
“We chose FIRST ramp because it was the best end-to-end solution for Airpro combining invoicing, allocation and turnaround for our ramp operations. The Zafire team’s support through implementation was highly valued.”
Harri Valkama · Digital Transformation Lead, Airpro
From paper to real-time digital operations
Real-time service capture
Turnaround activity is recorded on the ramp as it happens, not hours later.
Resource planning
Supervisors allocate people and equipment against live demand.
Operational visibility
Managers see every stand without relying on radio calls.
Reporting and data
Data identifies trends, evidences performance and settles queries.
The results
Turnarounds completed digitally
An average of 2,015 per airport, recorded at source rather than on paper.
Billable activities captured
209 per operational user, each evidenced and ready to invoice.
Real-time visibility for operations and finance
Operations and finance work from the same live turnaround data, meaning billable services significantly increased.
Less billing administration
Completed turns become verified flight records with no paperwork to chase.
“Working with the Zafire team has been an excellent experience — FIRST ramp gives us the much needed real-time visibility between operations and finance.”
