Vectro AllocateLive

Allocate every movement. Protect every constraint.

Stands, gates, check-in counters, baggage reclaim, forecast and security lanes in one plan. A rules engine that separates hard constraints from preferences, and an AI advisor that recommends while you stay in control.

How it connects

Live in production at a Canadian regional airport, and improving every month with the teams who use it.

The stand Gantt, at a glance

Every stand and gate on one timeline, with movements as coloured bars. A conflict shows up as a red outline before it costs you on the day.

Conflicts, with a way out

When two movements overlap on a stand, Allocate names them and suggests fixes. You pick the one that fits the day.

Check-in counters, grouped right

Contiguous counter groups by airline, service type and window, so passengers find the right desk and demand is balanced.

Scenarios, before you touch operations

Compare recovery plans in a sandbox, with locks and hard rules enforced, then pick the one that holds up. Nothing goes live until you approve.

Guided AI

AI that advises. Operators who decide.

01

Ask

A grounded answer with source, timestamp and rule evidence.

02

Recommend

Ranked options with the trade-offs explicit.

03

Simulate

Preview conflicts and KPIs with zero live writes.

04

Control

The operator approves. Locks and hard rules stay authoritative.

Stand and gate

Linked arrivals and departures across contact and remote stands, gate sectors, dependencies, buffers, towing, closures, and aircraft compatibility.

Check-in counters

Contiguous counter groups by airline, service type, operating window and demand, with bag drop and priority desks.

Baggage reclaim

Belt zones against arrival demand, overlap rules, and live schedule changes.

Forecast and security lanes

Demand profiles, service targets, and lane planning for forecast and security.

Rules engine

Hard constraints separated from preferences, versioned policies with effective dates, and manual and frozen allocations protected.

Scenarios and audit

Compare recovery plans in a sandbox with before and after impact, and a full decision history.

Plan months ahead. Respond in minutes.

The same plan serves the seasonal schedule and the day of disruption. Work months out on the seasonal plan, then switch to recovery mode in minutes when the day breaks. Flight import, a turn round schedule, towing overview, and plan versus actual performance keep the two worlds connected.
