Empowering Your Operation With Industry-Leading Crew Planning Support

 
Sometimes, what you need isn’t a new system, it’s the right expertise, at the right time.
 
Planner as a Service is designed for organisations that already have a planning setup in place but need additional hands, deeper expertise, or temporary reinforcement within their team. Rather than replacing your existing structure, we ntegrate directly into it.

We work alongside your team, using your current Jeppesen environment, to support, strengthen, and enhance your planning operations.

 

How it works

With Planner as a Service, we become part of your team for as long as you need us.

That can mean:

  • Taking ownership of specific planning tasks

  • Supporting your planners in day-to-day operations

  • Acting as a senior or “super-user” resource

  • Helping optimise processes while work continues as usual

Our goal is simple: to add capability without adding complexity.

You keep your systems, your workflows, and your control — we bring the experience and capacity to help you perform at your best.

 

What we support

Our team can step in across key areas of your planning function, including:

  • Manpower Planning – ensuring the right resources are available at the right time

  • Pairings – building efficient, compliant, and cost-effective crew pairings

  • Rostering – creating balanced, optimised schedules that work in practice

 

When it makes sense

Planner as a Service is particularly valuable when:

  • You’re experiencing a temporary resource gap

  • Your team is under pressure during peak periods or disruption

  • You’re going through growth or expansion

  • You need specialist expertise that isn’t available internally

  • You want to strengthen your team without long-term hiring commitments

Whether you need support for a few weeks or several months, we adapt to your situation.

 

A seamless extension of your team

We don’t operate as external consultants working at a distance.
We embed ourselves into your way of working.

Think of us as:

  • An experienced planner joining your team

  • A trusted expert supporting your decision-making

  • A reliable extension of your existing capability

We focus on delivering immediate value while contributing to the long-term strength of your planning function.

 

Planning, with you

At its core, Planner as a Service is about collaboration.

We work with you, not around you, ensuring continuity, consistency, and measurable improvement without disruption to your operations.

Planning FOR you

Planning FOR you

Under our “Planning FOR you” model, we work with you to understand your needs, rules and regulations, goals and then assume responsibility for the interim fulfilment of the function, whether this is for Resource Planning, Pairings, Rostering, or the entire end-to-end planning function. With Planning for you, our team will perform your crew planning process according to your instructions, either on a temporary or ongoing basis.

We can conduct our “Planning FOR you” service across our range of products, and can completely run the following functions on your behalf:

  • Resource Planning
  • Pairings, powered by Jeppesen
  • Rostering, powered by Jeppesen
  • Fatigue Analysis
  • Rule writing (R.A.V.E Programming)

Planning WITH you

Planning WITH you

In this version of our support approach, “Planning WITH you” we will work on your existing Jeppesen installation supporting your existing team, either fulfilling part of the crew supply chain ourselves or assisting your team in doing so. Think of us as a super-user who is joining your team for a period, or an expert planner being absorbed by your team, to help running your processes or to raise the expertise level alongside your existing staff.

This approach is very useful if you have an individual role that needs fulfilling on a short or mid-term basis or if you simply need support for a finite period of time. Our “Planning WITH you” offering can cover the following areas of our products:

    • Resource Planning
    • Pairings
    • Rostering
    • Fatigiue Analysis
    • Rule writing (R.A.V.E Programming)
