CrewLogic

CrewLogic creates airline crew pairings and rosters that account for aviation authority regulations and airline rules. Its optimiser assigns duties using user-defined distributions of flight types and destinations, while considering qualifications, recent experience and rest requirements. The crew database can hold personal details, preferences, availability, languages, qualifications, passport and visa validity, and crew base. CrewLogic also handles flight and ground training, stores results, tracks recurrent checks and qualifications, and provides alerts. Crew members can access rosters, changes, messages and holiday or flight requests on the web. Optional CrewConnect provides Android and iOS access for rosters, requests, preferences and change alerts; CrewWebPlus adds web access to rosters, messages and briefings. Reports cover rosters, duties, training, hours, fatigue management and other crew statistics, with user-defined outputs. The rules engine can include company and authority rules, with EASA and CAP371 defaults listed. Pricing is on request, and APM directs airlines to arrange a demonstration.

CrewLogic brings roster creation, crew administration and training management together for airline operations. Airlines need to request pricing, and some access and fatigue functions depend on optional products or licences.

CrewLogic is for airlines managing crew pairings, rosters, qualifications and training. Its optional mobile and web additions suit organizations seeking crew access to rosters and requests.

CrewLogic is airline crew-management software for carriers coordinating complex rosters, crew records, and recurrent training. It is best suited to airlines with dedicated operations teams and established crew rules. Its breadth is compelling, but the need to arrange pricing and plan deployment makes it a considered operational purchase.

Overview

APM Technologies SA, based in Geneva, Switzerland, builds CrewLogic to create crew pairings and rosters under airline and aviation-authority rules. Airlines can configure rules and use EASA and CAP371 default rule sets. The system’s value is in connecting roster decisions with qualifications, experience, rest requirements, and crew administration—not simply laying out shifts.

The product page offers a brochure and a demonstration. APM also says it advises on recommended hardware before installation, with Firebird specifications for small and medium airlines and Oracle specifications for medium and large airlines. That makes deployment planning part of the buying decision.

Key features

Pairings, rosters, and operational control

The optimiser assigns duties using airline-defined distributions of flight types and destinations while accounting for crew qualifications, recent experience, and rest. Real-time crew control on the day of operation, roster distribution, regulation displays, and pairing swaps extend the system beyond planning. This combination suits carriers that need planning and operational control linked; smaller teams seeking only a basic roster tool may find the scope more than they need.

Crew administration and training

Crew records can include availability, preferences, qualifications, languages, crew base, and passport and visa validity alongside personal details. Training tools cover flight and ground events, results, recurrent checks, qualification management, and alerts. Together, these records can inform assignment and help administrators keep training and qualification information in view.

Crew access, reporting, and fatigue

Crew members can view individual rosters, changes, and messages, and submit holiday or flight requests on the web. CrewWebPlus is an optional addition for web rosters, messages, and briefings; CrewConnect is an optional native Android and iOS app for roster viewing, requests, preferences, and change alerts. Mobile app messaging is also described as an add-on, so mobile capabilities depend on the chosen option.

Reports cover rosters, duties, training, duty and flight hours, fatigue management, and other crew statistics, with user-defined outputs and formats. For fatigue-risk tracking, CrewLogic can integrate with FRMSc’s SAFE Suite, but that requires a SAFE Suite licence. APM also identifies SchedulePlanner, SmartOps, CrewSim, CrewWebPlus, and CrewConnect as connected products.

APM provides day-to-day technical phone support in French and English through its UK representative and Swiss offices. Its privacy policy for CrewConnect and OpsConnect describes storage on APM’s secure servers or an airline’s servers, access controls, and breach procedures.

Pricing

CrewLogic is paid software with custom pricing; airlines must request a price from APM. The product page offers a brochure and directs prospective buyers to arrange a demonstration. No lower-cost CrewLogic plan or free tier is described, so buyers should discuss the required licences, optional access products, and deployment needs with APM before comparing total costs.

Platforms

CrewLogic is listed for Android, iOS, web, and Windows. APM’s infrastructure document specifies a supported Windows operating system for CrewLogic workstations, while crew-facing web and mobile access may involve optional products.

Who it's for

CrewLogic is a strong fit for airlines that need configurable crew-rule planning alongside qualification, availability, training, and reporting workflows. Its operational breadth is most useful where those responsibilities need to work together. Carriers seeking fatigue prediction should account for the separate SAFE Suite licence, and teams wanting crew mobile access should confirm the relevant add-on. The hardware guidance and custom pricing are reasons to involve operational and IT stakeholders early.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Planning reflects crew constraints: duty assignment accounts for qualifications, recent experience, and rest, with configurable company and authority rules.
• Administration goes beyond rosters: crew records, training events, recurrent checks, and alerts support connected planning and qualification workflows.
• Operational visibility is broad: real-time control, roster distribution, and user-defined reporting span duties, hours, training, and crew statistics.

Cons

• Pricing requires a sales conversation: there is no published CrewLogic price, which makes early budget comparison harder.
• Some access and fatigue functions add dependencies: CrewConnect and CrewWebPlus are optional, and SAFE Suite fatigue integration requires its own licence.
• Deployment needs planning: APM provides database specifications and hardware advice, so the setup is not just a matter of choosing a mobile app.

Alternatives

For a wider comparison, browse Crew Scheduling Software. HASTUS, ProVerne Crew Management System, RadiantFleet, Signal, and COMPAS are paid options listed for Android, iOS, and web; Signal also lists API access. Consider them when you want to compare other paid, multi-platform crew scheduling options.

AIMS is worth comparing if self-hosting matters: it lists Android, iOS, web, and self-hosted platforms, and its airline software is priced through an RFI that requests crew and aircraft counts. Martide is the alternative to consider for seafarer operations and a freemium entry point: its Operations plan costs $249 a month for 50 onboard seafarers, with $4.80 / month per extra seafarer and unlimited users; Recruiting is also listed with unlimited users.

Verdict

Airlines that need crew-rule roster optimisation tied to records, qualifications, training, and operational control should put CrewLogic on their shortlist. Its strongest reason to choose it is that connected operational scope; its clearest reason to look elsewhere is the custom-priced, deployment-dependent purchase, compounded by optional licences for some access and fatigue capabilities.
