Evolve DS

📢 Our first applications are live in a production environment! 🥳 Through October and November we partnered with a carrier to build a suite of applications for real-time communication between disparate flight operations systems. This work required significant custom development. Based on past experience the carrier estimated this work would take 6 months, but they also needed this by end of November. We finished the work in 6 weeks for a 22nd November go live, with all parties going above and beyond to make it happen. If you have a need for bespoke development in your operations, do reach out. Our aviation and operations research business knowledge combined with our development expertise means we can build and deploy rapidly for your needs.

Crew retention is an important objective for many airlines. Accounting for crew's lifestyle requests is a key differentiator. Smart Layer's Request Awarder allows you to automate awarding leave, time-off, pairing, and destination requests from crew members. Configurable interfaces allow you to maximise crew satisfaction whilst still maintaining protections for your operations. Request Awarder is available standalone, but can also be paired with the Training Scheduler to integrate requests prior to scheduling training (a common ask from instructors).

Your time is valuable; reserve it for strategic planning. Smart Layer's Training Scheduling optimiser deals with the details of assigning crew training efficiently, so you can focus on big-picture items.

Planes are a marvel of modern engineering. In contrast, software systems used in the "engine rooms" of airlines are often slow, inflexible, and require a lot of manual intervention. Replacing your operations system outright is a daunting task, akin to open-heart surgery. What if we bolster your existing software with helpers to deal with complex use cases?

Newsletter 2 is now out! 📢 We've added features to our training scheduler, launched our development services branch for our first client, built new modules to support awarding crew bids for leave and pairings, and made it easier to get an availability outlook for the short- and medium-term for your operations. It's been a busy few weeks!

10 seconds. That's how long it took Smart Layer's optimisation agent to generate a training plan for 6 months for a group of pilots. Base transfers were used to move crew to the right locations, and daily / weekly limits for training were applied to maintain headcount for regular rostering.

Crew training scheduling is a critical task for airlines, and yet it doesn't get the support it deserves. Too much planning is done by hand in Excel sheets, managing hundreds/thousands of crew activities. Inefficiencies in planning lead to safety issues and cost inflation. At Evolve DS we're committed to solving this problem. Our launch product Smart Layer has a series of automation agents for training scheduling. Smart Layer's training scheduler: ✅ Smartly allocates training to students. ✅ Uses instructors efficiently and fairly. ✅ Supports ground and flight training. ✅ Supports complex footprints: single / multi-day, combinations of training, study and rest. ✅ Allows out of base training. ✅ Allows different training pathways for different types of students, with control over an "ideal" pathway and secondary pathways. See a demo here: https://lnkd.in/gQtDNhSS. Reach out if you have any questions, or want to translate these features into value for your organisation!

Evolve DS has launched as of September 1st! 🎉 There’s a new website, a new web application, and a new approach to a classic idea. Read the full newsletter here: https://lnkd.in/eyvQ58HU.
