Smarter rosters for safer skies.
ATS Data Design develops EuroPlanner – a specialised planning suite that helps air navigation service providers build fair, compliant and operationally robust rosters for air traffic controllers.
Who we are
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
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.
