CrewLogic vs ISF Watchkeeper

CrewLogic is airline crew planning software from APM Technologies SA, based in Geneva, Switzerland. It creates crew pairings and rosters under airline and aviation-authority rules, with an optimiser that assigns duties according to flight and destination distributions, qualifications, recent experience and rest requirements. Its crew records can include availability, preferences, languages, travel-document validity and crew base. The system also supports flight and ground training, records results, tracks recurrent checks and qualifications, and provides alerts. Day-of-operation crew control, roster distribution, regulation displays and pairing swaps are among its roster tools. Crew members can access rosters, changes, messages and requests on the web; CrewConnect offers optional Android and iOS access, while CrewWebPlus adds web rosters, messages and briefings. Reports cover duties, training, hours, fatigue management and other crew statistics. Connected products include SchedulePlanner, SmartOps and CrewSim. Pricing is on request; APM invites airlines to arrange a demonstration.
