The challenge

What operators are up against

airlines, airports, ground handlers, GSE lessors, and maintenance organizations need current evidence about ground-support asset location, utilization, runtime, inspections, maintenance, faults, and service activity. Ground-support equipment moves across a time-critical ramp while maintenance, utilization, safety, and service records sit in separate tools. These gaps can cause turnaround delays, unavailable equipment, missed inspections, poor utilization, and service-level failures. Teams need time-stamped records and a clear response path.

The solution

How Aviation Ground Support Equipment Operations addresses it

Aviation Ground Support Equipment Operations combines connected asset records and Blackhawk software to organize ground-support asset location, utilization, runtime, inspections, maintenance, faults, and service activity. It presents current status, history, schedules, rules, and alerts. Authorized teams use the shared view to ground handlers dispatch equipment, address faults, schedule maintenance, rebalance utilization, and document ramp service performance.. The workflow replaces calls, paper, or separate spreadsheets with a repeatable operating response.

How it works

Teams register assets, connect required devices or data feeds, and configure users, schedules, rules, forms, and alerts. GSE telematics, QR tags, mobile forms, equipment interfaces, and integrated systems capture location, runtime, use, faults, inspections, and maintenance. Ground equipment and workflow records reach the hosted NEEDME.com environment through selected telematics, mobile, and API paths. Aviation views combine GSE inventory, utilization, lease overuse, maintenance, SLA activity, safety forms, and business intelligence. Ground handlers dispatch equipment, address faults, schedule maintenance, rebalance utilization, and document ramp service performance.
