Nav Canada chose the Quintiq Workforce Optimization solution for its flexibility and its ability to cope with the complex planning issues faced by Nav Canada. Air navigation service operational staff planning must take into account numerous factors, including the skills and training certifications of individual employees, union and government regulations, and employee preferences while dealing effectively with frequent daily changes due to flight delays, weather conditions and technical problems.

Victor Allis, CEO of Quintiq, said: Being awarded the Nav Canada contract affirms Quintiq’s position as the leader in workforce oriented planning solutions. Quintiq has a proven track record in successfully implementing workforce optimization solutions in large organizations, including those found in the aviation industry. Nav Canada’s choice is a confirmation of Quintiq’s excellence in dealing with complex workforce scheduling needs, with the added possibility of employees being able to select preferred shifts.
