Evidence

A standards body wrote down how rostering constraints work, and used our product as the source

This is the strongest third-party evidence SkyRoster has, and it is also the easiest to overstate. So here is the precise version, with the exact wording, and a clear statement of what it does not mean.

What the document says

Three places in NMD/SAF/2653 name the product directly.

“The source of Use cases is SkyRoster.”
Page 20, introducing five case studies on simulation using analytics and visualisations.
“APPENDIX 3: DESCRIPTION OF HARD AND SOFT CONSTRAINTS (source SkyRoster)”
Appendix heading, page 66.
“APPENDIX 4: EXAMPLES OF HARD & SOFT CONSTRAINTS SETTINGS (source SkyRoster)”
Appendix heading, page 74.

The guideline's acknowledgements also credit two contributors from the company that builds SkyRoster: Florin Mijea, JLG Consulting and Sebastian Harangus, JLG Consulting. They are listed alongside practitioners from Austro Control, ENAIRE, Skyguide, ENAV, DSNA, DFS, NATS, MOLDATSA and others.

The careful part

What this is not

Not an endorsement

A guideline is not a recommendation of a supplier, and EUROCONTROL does not endorse products. The document uses SkyRoster as a source of worked examples. That is a statement about the examples, not about who you should buy from.

Not a customer list

The organisations named in the acknowledgements contributed to the guideline. They are not SkyRoster customers, and nothing on this site says they are. The case-study customers are anonymous in the source and stay anonymous here.

Not the other guideline

A companion document, NMD/SAF/2611, Guidelines on Fatigue Management in ATC Rostering Systems, was published the same day and credits the same two contributors. It does not name SkyRoster anywhere. If you see the two conflated, that is the distinction.
