INPUT SOFT

INPUT SOFT is a software company that builds a web platform for ground handling. It helps airports, airlines and ground handling companies plan staff and equipment, cut costs, and collect and study data from every ground handling job. It has addresses in Kyiv, Ukraine, and in Delaware, USA.

The company started after the pandemic, with the goal of moving paper and old systems in aviation onto digital tools. Its core team has more than 50 years of combined experience, and it works with industry experts and end users on the product. Pricing depends on the number of flights, with no limit on users or employees.

Two software suites

INPUT SOFT has two suites, each with three modules that can be used alone or together.

• Resource Management: resource planning, staff rostering and real time planning. Upload the flight schedule and work rules, and the system makes shift plans and rosters for all staff, which can be sent by app, email or WhatsApp. Real time planning uses satellite data and pushes changes to staff phones.
• Data Management: flight services, GSE control and invoicing. Staff record the start and end of each job, including scans of QR codes on ground equipment and NFC tags, and the system works out the cost of services for budgets and invoices.

Calculations on demand

For companies that do not want a full system, INPUT SOFT runs calculations as a service. It works out the staff, ground equipment and fixed resources, such as check-in desks and gates, needed for a flight schedule, and sends a report within 48 hours of getting the data. Uses include budgets, schedule changes, seasonal changes and contract talks.

One user is FoxTrot Aviation Services, which works at 32 US airports. It began using the service in January 2025 to price bids, and cut its bid modeling time by up to 60%, according to the INPUT SOFT case study.
