SOMA Software's AI-powered dashboards offer real-time tracking and data management by identifying parts that require replacement, have expired certifications, or display wear and tear signs. The aviation ERP software platform's predictive analytics leverage IoT sensor inputs and historical data, including batch numbers, installation dates, and repair logs, to forecast part longevity and automatically schedule inspections accordingly.
The aviation ERP software includes pre-built, FAA/EASA-standard-compliant templates that create comprehensive reports with images and digital signatures. Organizations can save or share these reports as encrypted links. Customizable templates include non-conformance reports, repair summaries, and airworthiness certificates. Maintaining reports allows operators to keep a chronological audit trail of maintenance activities and personnel involvement.
ERP software for the aviation industry provides real-time inventory tracking to prevent stockouts, reduce maintenance delays, and ensure components are available when needed. The system accounts for seasonal demand and fleet expansion and adjusts stock thresholds accordingly. The platform's predictive analytics forecast potential part shortages based on historical usage and maintenance frequency schedules.
Aviation operators can use aerospace ERP software to track flights and potential delays across different fleets in real-time. The system manages pilots, attendants, and ground staff schedules to ensure they are fit for active duty and prevent operational conflicts, like expired medical certifications or overworked pilots. Crews can update their schedules from terminals and adjust routes when situations require changes.
The aviation ERP platform monitors aircraft for performance reporting and flight tracking. Its predictive analytics feature transforms reactive maintenance into a proactive approach to ensure operational efficiency and fleet reliability. The system examines historical data to determine when potential delays occurred and why, and makes suitable arrangements to accommodate changes.
SOMA Software's AI-powered aerospace ERP software analyzes and tracks fuel usage data and compares actual and projected fuel burn rates by adjusting altitudes or load plans to reduce costs. This approach enables aircraft operators to identify areas for improvement, optimize flight routes to ensure potential savings by minimizing flight times, and predict fuel needs and storage costs based on schedules to flag discrepancies and enhance overall operational efficiency.
SOMA Software's aerospace ERP software solutions allow aircraft operators to facilitate audits and stay compliant with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)/Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations by organizing aircraft records and providing real-time, easy access to flight records. The solutions integrate with e-Log books to record flight data for safety and operational effectiveness. They support digital checklists for pre-flight inspections to ensure everything is in order before a flight and minimize downtime by enabling timely maintenance scheduling.
Aviation ERP software allows operators to monitor components' journey using barcodes or RFID tags, from supplier invoices to installation dates, including warranty details and batch numbers. This approach ensures that when discrepancies appear for purchase orders, operators receive appropriate notifications that allow them to address these issues before they escalate.
When inventory levels dip below a predetermined threshold or specific components go missing, aerospace ERP software dispatches priority alerts, including locations, part numbers, and vendor details. SOMA Software's system tracks reserved components to ensure parts aren't double-booked, while the predictive analytics feature forecasts part demand based on maintenance schedules.
SOMA Software's aviation ERP software provides instant access to purchase orders, delivery receipts, disposal certificates, and attached invoices and inspection reports, all necessary during audits. The tamper-proof record-keeping system provides role-based access controls and version history with IP addresses and timestamps so operators know which authorized members accessed files, when they accessed them, and what changes they made.
Aerospace ERP software enables task assignment workflows that allow attribution of project checklists, due dates, and priority levels based on resource availability and skill levels. It enables progress tracking by employing live Gantt charts with time estimates based on historical data to visualize progress and ensure no process bottlenecks.
ERP software for the aviation industry facilitates maintenance, operations, engineering, purchasing, and inventory management by enabling accurate documentation and straightforward communication. The system allows attachment of notes to notify concerned parties for prompt resolutions and annotate images with text, or visual markers.
SOMA Software's aviation ERP solutions enable managers to track and monitor actual and estimated work hours from a central dashboard to ensure balanced operations and refine future processes. They can reallocate assignments based on employee skill level or availability to prevent burnout or overworked staff.
ERP systems for the aerospace industry help optimize fleet operations with automated compliance tools, IoT integrations, and live dashboards.
Aerospace ERP software offers a centralized platform for operators to manage operations, including compliance, inventory, and maintenance. It integrates with supplier networks, maintenance, repair, operations systems, and air traffic databases to minimize manual processes. It provides IoT-enabled part tracking, EASA/FAA audit trails, and crew scheduling functionalities. Regional and commercial fleet operators can leverage the platform's predictive analytics, fuel optimization, and blockchain record-keeping features to ensure their operations function without interruption.
Unlike conventional ERP systems, which lack FAA audit trails, MRO integrations, and AS9100-compliant traceability, aerospace ERP software specializes in managing the unique needs of the aviation industry. It includes industry-specific tools like crew duty-hour calculators, RFID inventory tracking, and carbon emission dashboards. It connects satellite systems for offline functionality and IoT sensors for real-time component monitoring. SOMA Software's platform offers predictive maintenance, encrypted flight logs, and fuel burn analytics in adherence with industry standards.
ERP systems for the aerospace industry feature multi-factor authentication, blockchain-ledger records, and role-based access. They employ AES-256 encryption to protect data stored on devices or servers and TLS 1.3 to secure network communication, thus protecting data at rest and in transit. SOMA Software offers audit trails with IP addresses and timestamps to prevent unauthorized access and triggers alerts when such instances occur. Aviation ERP software maintains high security and reliability standards.
SOMA Software's aerospace ERP software offers offline and remote capabilities. The platform allows for flight data capture, including aircraft type, flight number, technical crew, and fuel levels, which automatically synchronize when connectivity returns. This feature enables technicians to complete inspections, scan parts, and log hangar hours with no signal, while cache data allows access to manuals, repair histories, and checklists offline. It facilitates uninterrupted workflows, data accuracy, remote operations support, and enhanced safety.
Aviation ERP software requires tailored training on specific features and modules, such as supply chain management, human resource management, and inventory management, to allow operators to handle various aspects of fleet operations. SOMA Software offers comprehensive onboarding, including live workshops and video tutorials, while providing specialized guidance to mechanics for inspection logging and management, analytics dashboards for managers, and in-house predictive maintenance and API integration training.
