Las Vegas, USA – March 4, 2013 Ramco Systems, the global Aviation Software provider on Cloud, Mobile and Tablets today announced a new order win from Hevilift Group, one of the leading aviation charter service provider of fixed and rotary wing aircraft in the Asia-Pacific Region. The win, announced during the HELI-EXPO 2013, being held at Las Vegas, further reinforces Ramco’s leadership in the Heli-operator segment, where Ramco’s software has been maintaining over 1100+ helicopters, globally. 

Under the agreement, Ramco will provide its web-based Series 5 M&E and MRO solution, including Maintenance & Engineering (M&E), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO), Reliability, Aviation Finance, and Work Force Administration, with integrated Multi-Country Payroll across numerous countries and legal entities of the Group.

Mr. Colin Seymour of Hevilift Group, said “We have a diverse fleet of over 50 aircraft and wanted to consolidate our operations, which are spread across multiple geographies. Ramco’s solution was a good fit, both in terms of functionality and usability. Also, the rich experience of the team in serving multiple specialty operators in the rotor wing segment was a great plus. By moving to an integrated software platform, we look forward to improving the efficiency and productivity of our operations.”
