Who we are

A small, specialised Danish software company

ATS Data Design is a privately owned software studio focused exclusively on workforce planning for air navigation service providers (ANSPs). We combine deep ATC domain knowledge with robust engineering to support day-to-day operations in complex environments.

Our flagship product, EuroPlanner, has been refined over many years together with supervisors, planners and controllers in live operational units.

What we care about

  • Operational realism – rosters that work on the actual floor, not just on paper.
  • Fairness and transparency for controllers and planners.
  • Compliance with local agreements, duty time limits and fatigue guidelines.
  • Stable, predictable tooling that fits existing procedures.

EuroPlanner Suite

Modules tailored to the ATC environment

The EuroPlanner suite consists of modular components that can be deployed together or step by step. All modules share a common data model, so changes in one place are reflected across the system.

Core planning

  • RosterPlanner – long-term and short-term rosters with support for local rules, positions, ratings and patterns.
  • LeavePlanner & Bidding – fair leave distribution with configurable bidding rules and periods.
  • BreakPlanner – automatic break schemes based on sector demand, staffing, ratings and opening plans.

Operational support

  • StatusChecker & DutySwap – daily tools for supervisors to manage coverage, swaps and short-notice changes.
  • OJT & training views – planning and follow-up for on-the-job training.
  • Dashboards – quick situational awareness for planners, management and HR.
