ANOTHER CUSTOMER FROM THE AMERICAS

Swiss-AS is delighted to announce Heli-One as the latest member of the AMOS customer base. Heli-One was looking for a new MRO software to replace its legacy system which was no longer able to fulfil the global helicopter maintenance provider’s requirements. An intensive pre-sales phase was conducted which included presentations, discovery sessions, and workshops focused on assessing Heli-One’s requirements in reference to AMOS’ industry leading capabilities. The goals were achieved and Swiss-AS is now pleased to welcome the world’s largest independent helicopter MRO service provider into the AMOS community. Through the selection of AMOS and in conjunction with the Swiss-AS teams, process improvements will be gained via the inherent efficient business processes embedded within AMOS.

“The implementation of AMOS at Heli-One underlines the fact that AMOS is an “all-purpose” software for aviation maintenance –regardless of the business scope. In our mixed customer base we unite commercial and cargo airlines, business aviation, MRO providers, CAMO organisations, an aerobatic squadron and helicopter operators,” states Ronald Schaeuffele, CEO of Swiss-AS.

CHALLENGING AMOS IMPLEMENTATION

As the maintenance division of CHC Helicopter, Heli-One is the primary maintenance provider for CHC’s fleet of more than 250 helicopters which operate in some 30 countries around the globe. This project requires an implementation process including the development of customisations, the training of approximately 2,000 AMOS users and the integration of additional major international operating units based in the United Kingdom, Norway, the Netherlands, Brazil and Australia.

Due to the organisational structure of CHC and its business units, Swiss-AS will introduce “Multi Company Management” enabling each unit to use its own currency, ledger, average price and be able to purchase / sell parts or services to each other.

Also some requirements at Heli-One due to its business will induce further developments in AMOS.
