GSE Pooling Manager Ground Handler

GSE Pooling Manager – A New Role for the Modern Airport

Airports around the world are changing how they manage Ground Support Equipment (GSE). With the rise of shared and pooled GSE fleets, a new role might emerge the GSE Pooling Manager.

This role is becoming essential wherever multiple ground handlers share one fleet. The Pooling Manager ensures that every tug, belt loader, or GPU is in the right place, at the right time, for the right team.

What Does a Pooling Manager Do?

The GSE Pooling Manager acts as the central coordinator between ground handlers, maintenance, and airport operations. They oversee the shared fleet, define the number of GSE units needed in each area, and make sure all stakeholders have the resources they require to keep flights on schedule.

For example, if several ground handlers operate in the same terminal, the Pooling Manager uses real-time data to assign GSE to each team while preventing overlaps or shortages. They can also block access to certain assets when they are reserved or under maintenance, keeping operations organized and efficient.

How proveo Supports the Pooling Manager

At proveo, we developed our system specifically to empower Pooling Managers with complete visibility and control.

  • Airport-wide overview: The Pooling Manager can see all areas of operation, monitor GSE locations, and instantly identify if an area is short on equipment.

  • Shift-based planning: Define how many GSE units are needed per shift and let the system track availability automatically.

  • Stakeholder assignment: Assign ground handlers or teams to specific vehicles or GSE groups, ensuring only authorized operators can access them.

  • Centralized alerts: Receive notifications when a GSE is removed from a designated area or when a new vehicle request is made.

  • Intelligent redistribution: proveo analyzes fleet activity and suggests how to strategically move equipment to balance the operation across the airport.

GSE Pooling Manager Map

Smart Integration with the proveo Driver App

On the proveo Driver App, operators instantly see which GSE are available to them. The app helps avoid conflicts by showing whether an asset is currently free, already assigned to another team, or scheduled for upcoming use. This keeps the ramp organized and prevents downtime. It also allows operators to request additional assets for a specific time and location. This request will be sent directly to the pooling manager, who can then make the right decision.

 GSE Pooling Manager How it works

Always Connected, Always Informed

The Pooling Manager dashboard consolidates everything in one place: equipment status, maintenance schedules, and real-time conditions. If a GSE goes out of service unexpectedly, or a unit needs repair, the system updates automatically, so decisions can be made fast and confidently.

With proveo, the Pooling Manager finally has one source of truth for all airport GSE operations.
