Updating our Service Offering

We believe that face-to-face connections are powerful enablers for learning about our differences and celebrating life together.

Our purpose is to provide aircraft Operators and Owners with the information - and therefore the confidence - they need to sustainably grow their aviation businesses and optimise aircraft utilisation, to enable the connection of more people, more often.

We do this by enhancing the visibility of data and improving business process efficiency using cutting-edge aviation maintenance software systems.

Most of all, we are inspired by the role of the Red-billed Oxpecker in nature, offering protection and support to its community.

Managing important maintenance data for new fleet additions or implementing an upgraded aircraft maintenance information system is challenging while handling full-time operations. With airworthiness compliance and clarity foremost, we blend our expertise in aircraft maintenance processes and cutting-edge software systems to deliver exceptional results. By aligning the software system with your business process, we empower your team with tailored training to answer the call to action with clean, accurate data and optimised workflows.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS + IMPLEMENTATIONS

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.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT + DATA MIGRATIONS

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.

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE PLANNING, TRACKING + TRAINING

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.

REPORT WRITING + DATA WAREHOUSING

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.

AIRCRAFT ASSET REVIEWS, RE-DELIVERIES + PRE-PURCHASES

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.
