Volanteq is the real-time shift scheduling app for small airports — built for ATC, Operations, and Fire Service teams who are tired of whiteboards, spreadsheets, and 3am phone calls about who's on Tower tomorrow.
Most small airports still schedule shifts the same way they did in 1995. The cost shows up everywhere — just rarely on the same line of the budget.
One person owns "the rota" — and a hundred WhatsApps a week. Holiday cover lives in a separate file. Sickness cover lives in their head.
By the time a print-out makes it onto the noticeboard, it's already out of date. Half the team are working from a photo on their phone from last week.
One missed Fire Service shift = aerodrome closed. One uncovered ATC slot = a ground stop. The downside of getting it wrong dwarfs the cost of getting it right.
Volanteq is purpose-built for airport operations. No bolt-on modules, no enterprise plans, no consultants required.
ATC, Ops, and Fire each get their own grid. Configure positions, opening hours, and section structure to match how your airport actually runs.
Staff get a push alert the moment their shift changes. Configurable lead-time reminders before each shift. Quiet hours, acknowledgement, daily summaries — they choose.
One person edits the roster on a desktop, every phone in the airport updates instantly. No save buttons. No "did you get the email?".
Type a colleague's email, hit Send. They get a branded invite, sign up, and they're in — linked to their staff profile automatically. No IT ticket required.
Install to home screen on iPhone or Android. Use it on a desktop. Same data, same speed, same interface. Genuine offline awareness.
Each airport's roster is fully isolated. Members of one airport can't see another's data. Hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure with daily backups.
Genuinely. We mean it.
Tell us your departments, sections, and operating hours. The grid configures itself around your actual operation. Add your staff with a name, initials, and email each.
Send invite emails from inside the app. Your staff sign up, install the app to their phone, and choose their notification preferences in 30 seconds.
Drag, tap, and assign. Every change is instant for everyone. Your team gets pinged when their shift changes, reminded before it starts, and out of your hair.
We're working closely with our launch partners to get the product right. Tell us about your airport and we'll be in touch within a working day.
