Wildlife Management

An Advanced Approach to Wildlife Reporting with Airside Sync

Wildlife reporting at airports should be fast, accurate, and seamlessly integrated into daily workflows. Airside Sync’s WLM module doesn’t just replace manual logs — it upgrades airport operations. It introduces automation, real-time collaboration, and customizable reporting forms designed to fit each airport’s specific workflows and needs.

Wildlife management at airports has evolved. Moving from manual reporting to digital systems enhances efficiency and consistency. While digital tools replace manual logs, true efficiency comes from a system that not only digitizes reporting but also centralizes data, standardizes workflows, and enables more reporting within the same platform—improving both the reporting process and follow-up actions.

Airside Sync’s WLM module goes beyond basic digital reporting by offering full customization-possibilities, structured data entry, and live data accessibility. With options like decision-tree-based forms and seamless integration with other airside reports, it ensures wildlife data is logged efficiently and available when and where it’s needed most.

This article takes a closer look at how a well-designed digital WLM system significantly enhances efficiency and compliance. It also explores how Airside Sync boosts adaptability through tailored reporting and why centralizing wildlife data further improves operational efficiency.

Key Takeaways

• A single platform for all reporting needs
• Fully customizable reporting forms
• Real-time collaboration and data sharing

How Digital WLM Improves Wildlife Reporting

If you’re not already using a digital WLM system, making the switch can greatly enhance efficiency and accessibility. But even if you already use a digital solution, Airside Sync takes wildlife reporting further with smarter workflows, expanded reporting capabilities, and enhanced operational efficiency. The right tool ensures teams can log wildlife activity instantly, attach media like photos and GPS locations, and share reports in real time—all while maintaining structured, standardized data entry to minimize errors.

Unlike paper-based logs, digital reporting provides a secure, centralized system where records are easy to retrieve and automatically organized for compliance. Automated workflows reduce administrative burden, allowing staff to focus on operations rather than paperwork.

Airside Sync’s WLM Module – Customizable, Efficient, Integrated

Airside Sync’s WLM module gives airports the tools to make wildlife reporting faster, smarter, and fully adapted to their operations. With real-time data sharing, structured reporting, and fully customizable forms — including dynamic prompts that adjust based on previous answers — airports can create wildlife reports tailored to their specific needs. Unlike rigid systems, Airside Sync offers full flexibility in form design, workflow automation, and reporting structure.

Reports are thereby generated in seconds, enriched with media such as photos and GPS data, and instantly shared across teams. By also managing all wildlife reports as well as other airside reporting possibilities in a single platform, airports strengthen compliance, improve tracking, and turn valuable data into proactive safety actions.

• Customizable Reporting
  Wildlife reporting should fit the way teams work, not the other way around. With Airside Sync’s WLM module, airports can fully customize their reporting forms to include the exact information they need—whether for compliance, trend tracking, or operational decision-making. Instead of using rigid, pre-set forms, Airside Sync’s WLM reporting allows teams to fully customize forms, define required fields, automate workflows, and ensure reports align with local regulations and internal processes. When deciding on a report form, users can either start from scratch or choose an existing template—using it as is or customizing it to fit their specific needs.

• More Efficient Reporting with Dynamic Fields
  Instead of a static form, Airside Sync’s WLM module can adjust to the information being reported, making the process faster and more intuitive. Fields appear or remain hidden based on previous responses, keeping data entry streamlined and relevant. For example, if a user logs a wildlife sighting, additional fields can appear to allow specification of species, behavior, and even add media attachments. If no wildlife is observed, those fields are omitted, ensuring only necessary data is collected.

• Integrated Media & Location Tracking
  Wildlife reports can include photos, videos, and GPS-tagged locations, providing stronger documentation. GPS integration helps identify activity patterns and supports long-term risk assessment, making reporting both precise and comprehensive.

• Bringing All Airside Reports Together in One System
  Airside Sync centralizes all airside reports—including WLM, FOD, RCR, and more—into a single, organized system. This ensures that airports can efficiently manage multiple reporting needs within one platform, eliminating the need to switch between systems. With all reports stored in a unified archive, historical data remains easily accessible for audits, compliance checks, and trend analysis. Instead of searching through multiple systems or physical records, airports can instantly retrieve any past report, ensuring a clear, traceable record of all airside activities.

With real-time accessibility, wildlife control teams, compliance officers, and airside operations staff can instantly view the latest reports. Automated notifications alert key personnel when high-risk wildlife activity or other critical airside incidents are logged, enabling a faster response and better coordination across teams.

Airside Sync’s WLM module also integrates seamlessly with its Analytics Support feature, enabling advanced data analysis. As Wildlife observations are logged, Airside Sync accumulates valuable insights that can help identify patterns and pinpoint areas with higher risks of wildlife presence.
By leveraging these data-driven insights, airports can take proactive steps, such as increasing monitoring in high-risk zones during specific weather conditions, ultimately improving readiness and reducing the risks related to WLM. This shift from reactive to preventive management helps airports address potential wildlife risks.

A Smarter Approach to Wildlife Reporting

Airside Sync’s WLM module makes logging, tracking, and sharing wildlife reports part of your daily workflow. With real-time collaboration, customizable fields, and integrated media, reporting is more efficient and accessible than ever.

As a comprehensive airport operations management system, Airside Sync not only improves WLM but also digitizes other key operations management tasks, including airfield inspections, landside inspections, and operational logging.
