Avianca Airlines to Implement Comply365’s Document Authoring and Distribution Solution

Carrier Marks First Latin American Customer for Comply365

Beloit, WI – OCT. 11, 2023 – Avianca, one of the largest air transportation groups in Latin America, will transform its document authoring and compliance management processes across its multiple airlines into Comply365’s single, end-to-end authoring and distribution platform and mobile app. 

Comply365 is pleased to announce the Avianca Group of airlines will implement ProAuthor to author and manage its Airbus, Boeing and company manuals across all its departments to streamline and centralize its processes. The move will help increase safety and bring great operational efficiencies to the airline while providing crews with more consistent and up-to-date information.

As a network of pan-Latin American airlines serving over 140 routes with more than 2,000 weekly flights, Avianca’s goal of being an airline for everyone attracted close to 24.6 million passengers last year.

Avianca is the second-oldest continually operating airline in the world. The Bogotá-based group of airlines flies a mixed fleet of 130 aircraft.

“We are honored to partner with such a longstanding, reputable brand in aviation. We look forward to enabling their teams with a system to increase safety, efficiency, and provide a better mobile experience for their end users,” Comply365 Chief Commercial Officer Sergio Ramos said. “Avianca marks Comply365’s first customer in Latin America, and we’re excited about the value we can bring to airlines in the region.” 

Comply365’s ProAuthor will offer Avianca the opportunity to centralize its documentation across its airlines to reduce labor-intensive, inefficient and time-consuming authoring workflows while improving compliance processes and streamlining reporting. 

Using the Comply365 mobile app, crews in Flight Operations, Maintenance, Ground Handling, Security and other departments will have access anytime, anywhere to the most current content – with the ability to easily see what is new. Global searching will enable them to easily find what they need across all their manuals, and they will be able to create bookmarks and annotations that stick with their documents even as new versions are released.

Avianca joins more than 90 global aircraft operators relying on Comply365’s operational content and compliance management platform, from start-up airlines to the world’s largest carriers, as well as cargo, business, Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS), flight training and rail operations.

“It’s exciting to welcome an airline with such a storied history as Avianca into our customer community,” Comply365 Chief Executive Officer Tom Samuel said. “We are proud to support Avianca’s vision to lead air travel within the highly competitive Latin American air transportation market, and we look forward to celebrating Avianca’s continued success with the value our solutions will bring.”

Rusada launches PDF Task Integrator for ENVISION

VEVEY, SWITZERLAND: Aviation software specialist Rusada, who earlier this week was acquired by Veryon, has announced the launch of a PDF Task Integrator for its Airworthiness, Maintenance, and Flight Operations solution ENVISION.

The PDF Task Integrator facilitates the digitalisation of customer task cards and work packages for MROs and third-party maintenance providers. Through newly developed functionality, the PDF Task Integrator can read uploaded PDFs, identifying key information such as the Task Number, Task Title, Work Area, Trades, Skills, Hours, and more, as well as highlighting signoffs. The tool can then use this discovered information to link the customer’s PDF task cards to work orders and tasks already created in ENVISION.

“This new functionality saves users significant amounts of time and effort,” said Peter Mortimer, Head of Sales & Business Development – Americas & APAC at Rusada. “Previously maintenance providers would be required to recreate customer task cards one by one in their own system before they could start planning work. In cases of large work packages, this could be thousands of different task cards. Our new tool eliminates this process completely.”

Once the task cards are digitalised, users can then add additional feedback requirements and designate skill applicability against the signoffs. When the work has been completed technicians and engineers can sign off electronically. The completed task can then be provided back to the customer as a PDF with all their preferred formatting still in place.

“ENVISION’s latest tool makes PDFs far more functional and easier to use,” comments Julian Stourton, CEO at Rusada. “It also heavily reduces the chance of input errors and non-compliance as feedback fields can be defined, and signoffs are validated against the user’s stamp in the system.”

Stourton adds, “Above all though, it fully removes the need for paper records and physical signatures in maintenance facilities, something that everyone in the industry is striving for.”
