Rebranding back to proveo!

proveo Telematics, a market leader for telematics software in aviation, and Alps Alpine a global provider for asset tracking and mobility solutions form a strategic partnership in the aviation segment.

Alps Alpine is a global market leader in the electronic industry offering sensors, components, modules and systems. In its broad product portfolio, Alps Alpine offers tracking devices that provide valuable data and insights for companies needing to monitor any kind of asset.  Especially in the aviation industry AlpsAlpine trackers can be used to track dollies, trollies, towbars, wheelchairs and other valuable assets.

proveo Telematics is a market leading software company delivering highly flexible and specialized telematics solutions for the aviation industry since 2003. During the last year, proveo has added many new solutions integrating market leading telematics hardware and adding many new capabilities in its software.

proveo and AlpsAlpine are combining their offerings to deliver an integrated system to the aviation industry. 

“Our customers are looking for a solution that offers tracking of non-motorized assets anywhere at the airport: outdoor and indoor. To address this requirement, we were looking for a tracking device that combines accurate position and low power consumption with global communication capabilities and found Alps Alpine to be the best partner.  Integrating the Alps Alpine trackers we benefit from their innovative technology and their global communication network.  We are very excited about this partnership.”

— Ursula Hess, Managing Director, proveo Telematics.  

“We provide the aviation industry with a unified system by combining our tracking solution with proveo’s powerful telematics system. This cooperation delivers a single, intuitive real-time platform for managing all asset types—motorized (telematics) and non-motorized (battery powered trackers). We were impressed by the broad functional spectrum and the intuitive, easy to use telematics system proveo offers. Together, we can address the different use cases of diverse stakeholders across the airport environment”,

— Marcello Milli, Head of Sales for Asset & Mobility Solutions, Alps Alpine.

 

Alps Alpine

The ALPS ALPINE Group is a leading global manufacturer of high-quality electronics across several industries. With around 30,000 employees, 30 production plants, 26 engineering locations and 83 sales offices worldwide, ALPS ALPINE achieved around USD 8.0 billion revenue in the past financial year.
In 2017, ALPS ALPINE Europe launched its asset tracking solution and by 2025 it had supplied over 2 million trackers, making it the largest LPWAN deployment of asset trackers to date in Europe.

We’re shaping a future where technology extends your senses. An asset tracker may seem ordinary, but with features like orientation detection or theft recognition, it becomes invaluable. Trackers let you see where things are, expanding your vision. Added sensors let you feel remotely by monitoring temperature, shock, and more.

Every day, we strive to create technology that matters—unique, sustainable, and impactful. Through passion and innovation, we make the invisible visible and the distant tangible.

Airports face increasing challenges with growing numbers of travelers, limited room to grow, shorter and shorter turnaround times and congestions at the ramp. Dozens of airlines, ground handlers, and service providers operate side by side, all depending on Ground Support Equipment (GSE) to keep aircraft on schedule. A need to reduce the CO2 imprint is another priority most airports are aiming to address.

Traditionally, each ground handler maintains a GSE fleet large enough to cover peak times. This approach often leads to overcrowded aprons, underutilized equipment, and higher operational costs. To keep the operation safe and increase efficiency with lower number of GSE while maximizing on time departures many airports consider a change in operation which has emerged in recent years: GSE pooling and sharing.

What is GSE Pooling?

Pooling means that instead of each ground handler owning a separate fleet, GSE is shared across multiple handlers or departments at the airport. Equipment is made available to whoever needs it, whenever they need it. This ensures fewer vehicles are required overall, while still meeting demand during peak operations. The results: fewer pieces of equipment cluttering the ramp, improved safety, reduced costs, and a clear step toward sustainability, especially when combined with electric GSE.

Why Airports and Ground Handlers Benefit

• Efficiency: Shared fleets reduce idle time and improve utilization.

• Cost savings: Lower investment in equipment and maintenance.

• Safety: Less congestion on the apron means fewer incidents.

• Sustainability: Easier transition to electric GSE when equipment is centrally managed.

• Flexibility: Units can be dynamically allocated based on flight schedules, shifts, or terminal demand.

Pooling transforms GSE from individual assets into shared infrastructure that benefits the entire airport community.

How proveo Makes GSE Pooling Work

Pooling sounds simple in theory, but managing it in practice requires smart technology. This is where proveo’s telematics solution comes in. Our system is designed specifically for the challenges of dynamic, multi-tenant environments like airports.

Here’s how we help:

Flexible Assignments

With proveo, equipment can be reserved for a single operator, an entire team, or even across multiple ground handlers. Reservations can be time-based, ensuring the right people have access to the right equipment exactly when needed.

Mobile Integration

Operators receive notifications on their mobile devices about upcoming assignments and, if required, detailed task information. This removes uncertainty and keeps everyone aligned with the operational plan.

RMS and Rostering Integration

Our solution can be integrated with existing Resource Management Systems (RMS) and rostering applications. Licenses can be handled directly by proveo or externally managed, giving airports and ground handlers full flexibility.

Built-In Fallbacks

We understand operations never stop. proveo implements clever fallback solutions so that equipment access is always guaranteed. For example, mechanics or safety managers can be granted priority access at any time, and maintenance status is automatically considered in the pooling logic.

Real-Time Visibility

Our telematics hardware provides live data on location, usage, and condition of each GSE unit. Managers can see which units are active, reserved, or in maintenance, and adjust pooling rules dynamically based on actual demand.

The Future of Airport Operations

GSE pooling is no longer just a concept. It is becoming a global trend, and airports adopting it are already reaping the benefits. With proveo, pooling is not only possible but also simple, reliable, and scalable.

By combining advanced telematics, smart reservations, and seamless integration with airport systems, we provide the technology that makes pooling practical. For airports and ground handlers, this means higher efficiency, lower costs, and smoother operations.

Pooling is the future of GSE management. At proveo, we are ready to help airports and handlers take the next step. Contact us for more information!
