Madrid, SPAIN / Chennai, India – December 21, 2020 – Global Aviation software specialist Ramco Systems announced that it will implement its flagship aviation software, Ramco Aviation M&E MRO Suite for Iberia Maintenance (Iberia MRO), one of Europe’s leading MRO service providers in IAG Group.

Ramco Aviation Software will replace multiple systems to unify operations across Airframe Maintenance, Engine Shops, Component Shops & Supply Chain. In addition, Iberia Maintenance would also benefit from digital enablers such as Mobility via AnywhereApps, HUBs, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Dashboards and integration to ecosystem offerings powered by Ramco.

The technology transformation program will enable Iberia Maintenance to future-proof its business growth while offering simplified user experience driving better user adoption, increase process automation and self-service, among others.

Implementing this new ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) brings four important advantages for Iberia MRO: first, maximum mobility in accessing documentation and assigning maintenance tasks online, among others; second, information and real-time update of the work carried out on the Aircraft; third, the reliability and agility of having a single source of information for Iberia MRO production management system and, finally, a much more sustainable and efficient paperless solution, as Ramco Aviation ERP eliminates printing and scanning for tasks to be performed.

This new ERP developed by Ramco will be used by more than 3,000 Iberia maintenance personnel. A 50 people team will work in its implementation project.

Andy Best, Chief Technical Officer, Iberia Maintenance, said, “We were looking for a best of breed Aviation MRO Software that caters to our different business lines. Ramco Aviation were the standout option which offers comprehensive MRO-specific functionality all in a unified offering as an out of the box solution. We are confident, the digital transformation program with Ramco will help us bring major benefits to our customers through operational efficiencies, reduced maintenance TAT, simplified processes and improved productivity. Also, as an organization, we strongly believe in investing in the latest technology and innovation to help deliver superior and differentiated services to customers. Our partnership with Ramco will help us stay ahead on the Innovation front. Together, we look forward to delivering this game changing technology.”

Our laser sharp focus in building deep MRO specific functionality coupled with latest technological tools has helped us win the trust of global majors. The pandemic has driven many large businesses to speed up their digital transformation agenda.

Wizz Air signed the contract with CrossConsense concerning the implementation of Aircraft Fleet View. Aircraft Fleet View is a Progressive Web App that gives the user an always up-to-date view on the airline’s
fleet status. It indicates AOGs, delays and other important information. It provides the right level of detail to be useful but not crowded with information.

At Wizz Air, Aircraft Fleet View will be used by pilots as well
as by the management. It is meant for everyone who wants to get a general overview over the status of the fleet. Users who do not have the time or the knowledge to dive deeply into the MRO backend system will be presented with the most important information regarding a single aircraft, a range of aircraft or the whole fleet.

Diogo Reu, Senior Manager Digital Maintenance and Partners Management at Wizz says: “We decided to implement Aircraft Fleet View to allow our teams, in particular Flight Crew to always have the latest status and condition of the Aircraft prior any flight allowing a better preparation.
The app also allows our Operations Control Center to be always aware of any new technical or operational constrain raised due to technical issues with the Aircraft with live information. Furthermore, the App provides a live status of our fleet which can be checked at any time by the team for a
full overview of the Aircraft condition.”

Heiko Holm, Chief Operations Officer at Wizz says: “We are happy to extend our cooperation with CrossConsense keeping the focus of becoming one of the greenest Airlines in Europe aiming at a full paperless operation and we see the Fleet App as one more step in that direction.”

About CrossConsense: “Since being established in 2002, we basically think from the perspective of the user. We are not pure IT geeks, and it is exactly that which characterizes our services and products. Thus, we distinguish ourselves from most of the specialists for the implementation of solutions. We can’t do otherwise, because in the DNA of CrossConsense are many years of experience in Airlines, in the area of procurement, engineering and maintenance. We know your job as if it were ours. And THAT you will feel immediately!” CrossConsense’s portfolio stretches from AMOS Support, BI-Management, Data Migration and Hosting to the products Aircraft Fleet View (app that that gives you an always up-to-date view on your airline’s fleet status), ACSIS (tool for predictive maintenance) and AviationDW (tool that supports airlines to get an overview over all KPIs the airline is interested in).

About Wizz: Wizz Air, the fastest growing and greenest* European low-cost airline, operates a fleet of 134 Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. A team of dedicated aviation professionals delivers superior service and very
low fares, making Wizz Air the preferred choice of 40 million passengers in the financial year F20 ending 31 March 2020. Wizz Air is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker WIZZ. The company was recently
named one of the world’s top ten safest airlines by airlineratings.com, the world’s only safety and product rating agency, and 2020 Airline of the Year by ATW, the most coveted honour an airline or individual can receive, recognizing individuals and organizations that have distinguished themselves through outstanding performance, innovation, and superior service.

*Wizz Air’s carbon-dioxide emissions were the lowest among European airlines in FY2019 (57.2 gr/km/passenger)

AviationDW is a product by CrossConsense. It is a managed data warehouse, tailor-made for use with a backend system, e.g. AMOS. A data warehouse is a component of traditional business intelligence, allowing the generation of key performance indicators (KPIs) and data analysis based on historical data. AviationDW greatly simplifies KPI creation based on MRO System data. To this end, AviationDW provides easy-tounderstand database schemes allowing business end-users to explore data without implementing complex logic.

The application favours the use of existing in-house reporting and visualization tools. Simply connect to AviationDW with common solutions like Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, AWS QuickSight or other BI tools to
directly benefit from existing knowledge and capabilities.

AviationDW in collaboration with one of the aforementioned BI tools gives the customer the ability to visualize data in an interactive intuitive way to delve deeper into the data with a targeted approach. Behind the scenes, the AviationDW data transformation jobs are running to prepare raw backend MRO system data for easy access. Whether one is interested in how many valves were replaced in which kind of AC at one special station or simply needs to know the delay duration in minutes for a single station. This data is all in the customer’s MRO System but with AviationDW CrossConsense provides a product that makes this data easily accessible and analysable.

Connection to the customer’s MRO System is as safe as it gets. Data is exported by the MRO System and sent to AviationDW. The users can set filters according to their needs and the full control over all data
export activity stays with the customer.

AviationDW has been developed and will steadily be improved together with Condor Flugdienst GmbH and DC Aviation GmbH which are also the first companies that will use the product. As it is their philosophy, CrossConsense strives to enhance and expand the functionalities of the tool together with its valued customers.

About CrossConsense: Since being established in 2002, we basically think from the perspective of the user.

• Eastern Airlines signed for the AMOS Airline/MRO Edition to efficiently and diligently manage its large spectrum of maintenance activities – up to the “tiniest” detail
• Swiss-AS Cloud hosting including AMOS Operational and Monitoring Services has been entrusted to Swiss-AS
• AMOS implementation already up and running.

A new US airline to join the AMOS Community

Eastern Airlines state on their homepage that their passion for aviation is unmatched in the universe. “Our attention to detail is focused on the tiniest mechanical check and the cobalt blue stitching on Seat 17B.” Swiss-AS is glad to reveal that Eastern Airlines, based in Pennsylvania, USA, has selected AMOS as their MRO software to support their fleet of twelve B767 and B777 aircraft. The AMOS Airline/MRO Edition will allow Eastern Airlines to take full advantage of the deep functionality of AMOS over the broad scope of maintenance processes that the company performs.
Eastern also opted for a fully AMOS cloud hosted model with AMOS running on a PostgreSQL database which falls in line with their  corporate IT policy to keep internal IT effort to a minimum and increase cloud environments across all platforms.

“Having the pleasure to welcome Eastern Airlines to the AMOS Community is a big step forward for Swiss-AS in the highly competitive US market. It is great to play a part in supporting growing airlines to become efficient and we look forward to support Eastern on their journey,“

Ronald Schaeuffele Scherer, CEO of Swiss-AS

This rapidly growing US carrier will embrace AMOS best-practice processes as their new standard for maintenance activities. The team is highly motivated to use AMOS to transform their work life and focus on efficiencies and productivity whilst ensuring the highest safety and quality standards are adhered to. In addition, the airline opted for AMOSmobile/EXEC. The fact that AMOS has an integral mobile solution was a significant reason why Eastern chose the system. With this fully integrated AMOS add-on, the maintenance staff will have direct access to live data and enable them to record all activities directly at the aircraft in real time – paperless.

Project running despite COVID-19 restrictions

The implementation project already started in July this year. Due to the highly demanding business sector that Eastern operates in, the project approach is designed to be lean and swift. Swiss-AS and Eastern are both working hard to manage through the current pandemic environment without having a significant negative impact on the project, while the focus is clearly on safety and efficiency. The detailed implementation project plan recognises the reduced opportunity for travel with a focus on virtual training sessions and remote working by the whole implementation team.

“In supporting our growth and our commitment to providing safe, on-time and reliable air transportation, Eastern is taking steps to ensure that we provide our team with the tools and services they need to serve our customers. The addition of AMOS and its mobile applications will help Eastern meet that goal.”

Steve Harfst, President and CEO of Eastern Airlines

“Eastern is very excited about the implementation of AMOS! The system has greatly increased our ability to control the maintenance, material, quality and engineering functions. We are planning to use the system to its full capability when implementation is complete to include AMOSmobile. The cloud environment is the way forward and a goal for Eastern across all platforms. With AMOS, we have joined many of our peers in reaching this goal for aircraft maintenance operations. We are happy to have aligned ourselves with a powerful partner and look forward to our combined growth.”

Eric Couvreur, VP Maintenance and Engineering of Eastern Airline

HELI UNION choses AD SOFTWARE to support the 12 AS365 of the French Navy. The solution will support all airworthiness, maintenance and supply chain activities of the operator.

In 2019 the French Navy issues a bid for the lease of 12 AS365 Helicopters over a 10 years period. These operations will last while the new H160 is finalized and delivered in 2028. This bid was won by Héli-Union and Defense Conseil International.

The cooperation between HELI UNION and Defense Conseil International (DCI) was made possible thanks to the highly secured infrastructure developed by AD SOFTWARE. A strong requirement in the light of the high-risk nature of the missions that these aircraft will face.

With this success, AD SOFTWARE furthers its market share in the Defense industry, demonstrating its ability to compete with the largest international companies that usually hoard Government contracts. Jonathan Cosson, Deputy General Manager of HELI UNION explains how: “in 10 years AD SOFTWARE know-how evolved to the level of the best solutions on the market while remaining a reliable partner at our service”.

As for AD SOFTWARE’s CEO, Frederic ULRICH, he is “thrilled to start this new project with one of our historic customers. HELI UNION believed in AD SOFTWARE 10 years ago when we first started our partnership, we were able to take the most of this collaboration to build a many features and modules dedicated to the civil and military market, bringing our solution to the forefront of what the market has to offer today
