Aviation Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Software:

Aviation MRO

Breadth, Depth and Flexibility of our Progressive Aviation Software

Meets the robust needs of mid-to-large size aircraft maintenance and aviation maintenance facilities, including engine/heavy overhaul/B-C-D checks/avionics shops because these special needs were incorporated into the basic design. As you look at Progressive Aviation software, it will be very clear how this product is best suited to your environment; it is not a manufacturing or job shop package that has been modified for aviation, but an aviation and aircraft specific repair and overhaul solution (aviation MRO).

Easily and simply handles many different types of work. Whether it’s customer work, warranties (your own as well as manufacturers’), internal work (your company owned units), incoming exchanges, rotables, teardowns, assemblies or kit builds, users will quickly learn how easily Progressive Aviation handles the special considerations involved in each type of work.
Gives you the functionality to meet customer’s needs while their unit is in our shop. We have functionality for exchanges, leases, rentals, and a removed parts program. To keep production moving, the “borrowing” feature provides the tracking and costing of parts from one customer’s unit to another. Our robust rotable tracking subsystem includes physical tracking of the units, costing and a complete audit trail.
Simplifies entry on the shop floor, maximizing productivity and minimizing training. Technicians can: check inventory availability, consignment inventory and alternate parts; order or requisition parts or subcontract work; initiate a rotable or borrow transaction; access the stock credit subsystem which provides full audit trail of parts movement and controls shrinkage and costing to the work order; access the customer stock credit functionality which provides for the purchase of units from the customer’s unit and credits on the customer’s invoice; access the teardown functionality which provides for quick entry of parts and materials management of new inventory; defective parts which are identified on the shop floor automatically trigger the Nonconformance Subsystem for purchasing action.
Gives purchasing the tools to meet production requirements. Here are some examples of the depth of our solution: requisitions for subcontract and materials are automatically directed from the shop floor to purchasing. The buyer has access to vendor capabilities and performance history, alternates & interchangeable and superceding part on-line inquiries. Fulfillment priorities can be entered across work orders and integrated with receiving. Reports by shop, job and product line give a clear method of communication between production and purchasing. For vendors, either purchase or subcontract, there is a vendor tracking subsystem. Enter follow up actions and expedite dates and use as a reminder system or method to communicate with other internal departments. Optimize stock purchases through usage and forecasting reports.
Offers unparalleled flexibility.
Just a few examples! Standard note blocks can be inserted into a specific work order and then modified – saving keystrokes on repetitive standard work. You have the ability to commit a job at last years’ pricing – we handle the vendor price changes. We could go on and on!
Provides for flexible information retrieval. For example, multi-level work orders allow you to have many sub-work orders or tasks tied to a master work order. This feature allows you to track all tasks to one master job from a job planning/scheduling perspective, but also allows accumulation of costs and billing to sub-tasks. Each sub-task can relate to a particular zone of the aircraft. Here’s another example relating to estimates & work-in-process actual-to-budget information. Estimates and variances are available for all jobs by task and for the total job. Eliminates customer dissatisfaction and costly write-offs because you know at any phase of the job if you are over budget.
Has a Warranty Administration Module.
