Price peak and off-peak slots differently, turn idle hours into commercial leverage
Most ground handlers price one rate, all day. The cost of a turnaround at 06:00 is nothing like the cost at 14:00, and your idle workforce in the quiet hours is the easiest margin in the business to recover. Cohelion makes the cost of every slot visible, so commercial can price it.
You charge the same rate at peak and trough, your costs don't
Peak turn cost is double the off-peak cost. The workforce is the same headcount either way, idle in the quiet hours, scrambling in the rush. Price differentiation is the obvious lever, but nobody pulls it because nobody trusts the cost-by-hour numbers. Cohelion delivers them.
The same volume, moved off the peak. Demand above the capacity line is what costs overtime and third-party equipment; pricing the quiet hours differently is what flattens it.
How the combination works
The high-level path the data takes to produce the outcome.
Real cost per turnaround at hourly granularity, workforce, equipment, utilities, by station and shift.
Workforce utilisation and idle time, by station and hour, against the cost picture.
A defensible per-slot price schedule. Airlines move flights toward your quiet hours. Margins recover where idle time lived.
What changes for the C-suite
One concrete shift per role, what they can do tomorrow that they couldn't do yesterday.
Walks into pricing conversations with the cost of every slot, not a single blended rate.
Workforce idle time becomes the unit of commercial leverage, not the unit of waste.
Margin recovery from existing customers, without cutting headcount or signing new contracts.
"…eager for the future defined by data-driven operations, that will sharpen our costs and commercial negotiations."
