TarmacPay
From tarmac to payment. Automatically.
Summary
TarmacPay is a mobile-first time tracking and payroll platform purpose-built for airport ground crews. Workers carry BLE-enabled badges that automatically clock them in when they enter the ramp zone and clock them out when they leave. Supervisors review and approve shifts via a document camera workflow for any exceptions, and the system syncs directly with payroll providers. The result: zero manual time entry, same-day payment options, and full audit trails for labor compliance.
Target Audience
Supervisors and payroll managers at ground handling companies serving urban airports (e.g., Swissport, Menzies, airport authority ramp teams).
Economic Engine
Per-worker per-month license fee ($4–$8 per active employee, billed to the ground handling company). Optional add-on: same-day payout transaction fee (2% per payout, paid by worker).
Point of Difference
Unlike generic time clocks or GPS-based apps, TarmacPay uses a dense BLE mesh that can distinguish between being on the ramp (clocked in) vs. just in the terminal (not yet on duty). It also integrates with airport security zones to auto-block clock-in if a worker lacks current badge clearance.
Problem Statement
Urban airport ground crews—ramp agents, baggage handlers, and fuelers—waste up to 20 minutes per shift managing manual time clocks, paper timesheets, or legacy punch cards. This leads to chronic payroll errors, delayed payments, and disputes over overtime, especially in high-turnover seasonal workforces.
Solution
BLE beacon network deployed at gate areas, break rooms, and equipment yards. Workers wear BLE wristbands or ID badge inserts. A mobile app (iOS/Android) acts as a mobile reader and supervisor dashboard. Document camera workflow captures any manual corrections (e.g., forgotten badge) with photo evidence. Secure client portal for workers to view live hours, shift flags, and initiate same-day payouts. Backend syncs with ADP, Paychex, or Stripe Connect for payment.
Core Value Proposition
Eliminates the #1 cause of payroll errors and worker dissatisfaction in airport ground ops: manual time capture. Cuts payroll processing time by 90% and reduces overtime disputes by automating precise zone-based clock-in/out.
Killer Features
- Zone auto-clock: worker walks onto ramp, BLE beacon triggers clock-in without any action; worker leaves ramp, auto clock-out after 60-second grace delay.
- Forgotten badge workflow: supervisor uses phone camera to snap a photo of the worker and the gate display; AI extracts badge number and source-of-truth from image to manually approve a time adjustment.
- Pre-pay dashboard: workers see projected earnings for the current shift, with option to cash out up to 50% immediately via partner payment rail.
Pros
- Nearly zero friction for workers—no tapping, no apps to open; just walk into the zone.
- Provides rich geofence granularity using BLE beacons (room-level accuracy, not GPS drift).
- Directly reduces payroll disputes, which is a major cost for ground handlers (save ~$50/worker/month in dispute resolution).
Cons
- Requires upfront hardware deployment ($50–$100 per beacon, 5–10 per gate).
- Workers with multiple jobs may have privacy concerns about continuous location tracking, even if only in zone.
- Integration with airlines' own time systems (e.g., for gate agent crews) requires custom API work beyond payroll sync.
