region, has announced that it is now using Quintiq to plan its workforce.

    Copenhagen Airport (CPH) with its 140 destinations and more than 60

airlines handled over 23,3 million passengers last year. Quintiq, a global

leader in supply chain planning and optimization, has provided a single

integrated software platform to optimize the planning of CPH's workforce,

comprising 2.100 staff.

    Quintiq replaces multiple legacy systems that were previously used by CPH.

The first phase of the Quintiq software implementation has recently gone live

and will enable the airport operator to make more efficient use of its

workforce. CPH has begun using Quintiq's Workforce Planning application to

manage staff rostering and task assignments. In addition to managing union and

Danish labor rules, the new system will enable greater transparency and

visibility in workforce planning across CPH's 11 departments.

    The next phase of the Quintiq software implementation is currently underway

at CPH. It includes the deployment of a mobile application, integration with

SAP Payroll, and the automation of key planning tasks.

    "Using multiple systems to roster staff in 11 departments and plan their

assignments was a very complex process. We chose Quintiq's application as it

offers greater visibility and flexibility for handling real-time events,

particularly with its mobile application," says Kristian Durhuus, COO of

Copenhagen Airports.

    "Airports and air navigation service providers use Quintiq solutions to

manage over half the world's airspace," said Arjen Heeres, COO of Quintiq.

"Being selected by the largest airport operator in northern Europe further

reinforces our position as the leading solution provider for the aviation

sector. We're pleased to partner with Copenhagen Airport to help optimize their

workforce planning process."
