Confidence in your aircraft maintenance + airworthiness data today.
We make data visible and help clean the data to improve your aviation maintenance and airworthiness business efficiency.
We make data visible and help clean the data to improve your aviation maintenance and airworthiness business efficiency.
We believe that face-to-face connections are powerful enablers for learning about our differences and celebrating life together.
Our purpose is to assist aircraft Owners and Operators with their aircraft maintenance IT systems by enhancing data visibility and improving business process efficiency. This ultimately provides Operators and Owners with the information - and the confidence - they need to sustainably grow their aviation businesses and maximize aircraft utilisation, enabling the connection of more people, more often.
We draw inspiration from the role of the Red-billed Oxpecker in nature, offering protection and support to its community.
Similarly, we strive to keep your aircraft maintenance operations healthy by providing proactive solutions for integrating new aircraft into your fleet, implementing updated IT systems, and tackling data-intensive projects like cleansing, warehousing, or reporting - all without requiring a full-time employee or additional hires.
By providing aircraft Owners and Operators with better, more accurate visibility into their maintenance data, we make it easier to understand and justify maintenance costs - supporting smarter decisions around fleet growth and utilisation.
We achieve this by implementing an aviation-specific maintenance IT system using our expertise in both aviation business processes and IT functionality. We then ensure the system is tailored to your needs and train your team to use the system effectively.
Having developed over 10 aircraft maintenance programs from OEM, operator, and regulatory requirements, and with experience reviewing airworthiness documentation and implementing maintenance systems for over 40 aircraft, we are well-equipped to support your needs. Whether you are building a new, or revising a current, maintenance program or introducing your next aircraft, our expertise with aircraft and engine OEMs ensures a smooth and efficient process.
A well-integrated maintenance IT system, combined with effective business processes, is key to gaining clearer visibility into aircraft maintenance costs. By bringing together your expertise in aircraft operations and our knowledge of business processes and software systems, we can work as a powerful team to achieve your goals.
With an aviation-specific maintenance IT system, aircraft ground time can be planned more efficiently, and airworthiness and maintenance requirements can be tracked and made accessible to everyone. To support this, we offer an integrated course that combines airworthiness, maintenance, and software functionality training - helping users confidently navigate the key concepts and process flows.
Extracting data from your maintenance IT system can provide powerful insights into your operations and support better decision-making. We can take this further using our standard reports, such as Airworthiness Directive, Service Bulletin, or Modification Reports, or by developing custom reports to your specification. Additionally, we build data warehouses that serve as a foundation for Business Intelligence tools, unlocking even greater analytical capabilities.
We understand that the value of any software system lies in the accuracy and reliability of the data it manages - especially when it comes to maintaining your aircraft’s airworthiness and maintenance records. That’s why we go beyond software, offering specialised services to protect and enhance the value of your fixed or rotary wing aircraft. With hands-on experience in over 10 pre-purchase inspections and re-deliveries, and more than 75 asset reviews across a diverse fleet, we bring unmatched expertise to support your operational and investment goals.
