GSX 2026, Atlanta, 14 to 16 September | Booth 4218 | On the X Stage: Beyond the Schedule, Mon 14 Sept, 2:00 PM

The post was covered. The overtime that covered it was never billable.

The bill rate is fixed and the overtime is not billable, so the only lever left is how the hours get assigned. We built two systems for the two places they leak. Both run in airport screening operations today.

The operations that cannot fail already run on WorkAxle.

Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta · 14 to 16 September

Before the shift

The plan was built for a month that has not happened yet.

Screening demand moves with the flight schedule. The plan moves with last season's shape, and the difference is absorbed as overtime nobody can bill.

See what we do about it

During the shift

By nine in the morning the plan is a historical document.

Someone calls off. An officer moves terminal. What actually happened gets reassembled the next day, out of radio calls and memory, and the timesheet is written from that.

The Operations Dashboard

Six in the morning. Someone called off and a post cannot go uncovered.

You move an officer on the board.

The decision and the record are the same action.

01
The move writes the segment. New post, new role, new rate, at the moment the assignment changes.
02
Filter by certificate and whoever you move is qualified to stand there.
03
The audit trail is a byproduct. Every move carries a timestamp and the account that made it.

Running now in airport screening operations with GardaWorld Aviation Services across major Canadian airports.

The first screening is at booth 4218.

Two minutes on a live board, from the callout to the time segment it writes.

14 to 16 September, all three days.

Demand Intelligence

The plan was approved in March for a demand curve that arrives in September.

A plan built by hand against last year's shape is wrong on the day it is signed.

You bring the demand. It builds the plan.

01
You give it the demand you expect. Your own volume profile, terminal by terminal, season by season.
02
It builds the long-range plan around that demand. The staffing shape comes out of the numbers you gave it.
03
Nothing is locked. Change the profile or change a rule, run it again.

In production in an airport screening operation today.

First look at booth 4218.

Two minutes watching a long-range plan get built out of a real demand profile.

14 to 16 September, all three days.

Beyond the Schedule, on the X Stage

Security operations do not run on the schedule you published. They run on what is happening on the floor right now, and the distance between the two is where margin, compliance and client trust are lost.

Mat Diab sits down with Youssouf Camara of GardaWorld to walk through the operational cockpit: a live view of workforce, locations and operational reality that replaces static schedules with active orchestration. Drawing on the GardaWorld Aviation Services deployment across major Canadian airports, they unpack the design principles and the technology choices that separate a real-time cockpit from a digitised schedule.

If you have not run into us before

WorkAxle runs the operations side of organisations where the rules are the hard part: airports, ports, guarding, ground handling. Collective agreements, jurisdictional rules and client-specific post requirements run as configuration in one engine, rather than as exceptions somebody has to remember to apply.

The two systems above are what we are bringing to Atlanta.
