“We are excited to be working with a company of Swissport’s caliber and look forward to seeing the results their 2030 vision will bring,” Dorks concluded.

Mature risk management

Ideagen’s AI enhanced data management will aid the ability to bring together inspection data and have it automatically identify focus areas.

This software provided by Ideagen will allow mobile incident reporting for those on the frontline and translation services for international operations.

Having all these functionalities in one system will enable mature risk management, connecting data from different sources to identify potential risks before incidents happen.

The combination of software’s should enable Swissport to reach its goal of Zero Harm safety vision by 2030.
