Real-time GSE status for ground ops and maintenance, built from the radio calls your team already makes.
THE STATE OF GSE OPERATIONS DATA
Most airports are running on data that is minutes too late.
Across the global aviation ground handling industry, the gap between what coordinators know and what is actually happening on the ramp remains wide.

WHERE GROUND OPERATIONS LOSE GROUND
Three breakdowns that compound every turnaround.
The Gate Readiness Problem
Turnaround coordinators allocate GSE to gates based on availability boards that update on phone calls. A GPU goes offline between the board update and the push. The crew arrives at the gate to an unavailable unit.
"I had a widebody push delayed 22 minutes because the GPU on Gate 14 was tagged out at 08:10 and nobody updated the coordinator until 08:34."

The Overnight Maintenance Gap
Night shifts complete maintenance on tugs, belt loaders, and de-ice units. Whether those items are released to available before 04:30 depends on whether the night supervisor remembers to call it in.
"We start the early morning bank with five pieces of GSE listed as available that are actually still on chargers in the hangar. We find out when the agents go to collect them."

The De-Ice Queue Collapse
During winter operations, de-ice units communicate status on a shared radio frequency. When a unit goes down, the information exists nowhere except in the operator's transmission and the coordinator's memory.
"One de-ice unit went down on the remote stand and I didn't know for 34 minutes. In that window I'd already dispatched three aircraft to that pad."

WHAT OPSIMA SHOWS OPERATIONS
A live equipment status board built from field communication.
Every status update sent over WhatsApp, radio, or email becomes a tile on this board. Operations knows what is available right now: not what was available an hour ago.
FROM RADIO CALL TO WORK ORDER
The repair gets reported. The record writes itself.
Field communication flows through Opsima and becomes a structured work order automatically. No forms. No data entry. No end-of-shift catch-up.
PAIN TO OUTCOME
What changes when operations and maintenance share one source of truth.
THE TURNAROUND COORDINATOR'S PROBLEM
Every gap between a broken GSE unit and the coordinator's knowledge is a gate delay waiting to happen.
The turnaround plan is only as good as the equipment data behind it. When GSE status is stale, the plan falls apart at the gate.
BUILT FOR GROUND OPERATIONS TECHNOLOGY STACKS
Overlays your existing GSE management systems. Live in 3 days.
Opsima does not replace Ultramain, AMOS, or your existing systems. It captures unstructured ramp communication and feeds structured records back in.
Integrates with Ultramain, AMOS, SAP PM, SITA Ground Systems
Equipment status and maintenance records flow into your existing GSE management platforms. No migration.
No new tools or apps for ramp staff or technicians
They communicate by radio as normal. Opsima reads the output. No behavior change.
Handles mixed GSE fleets from Tronair, TLD, Mallaghan, Charlatte
Multi-OEM equipment is recognized automatically. No manual configuration per unit.
Live in 3 days
No hardware. No on-site installation. Connect to existing communication channels and see structured GSE data within 72 hours.
