Solutions
Document Comparison and Merging
Our Comparison and Merging solutions are designed to handle all types of change in XML documents including technical SVG diagrams and large, complex tables. XML Compare accurately identifies and highlights differences between XML files, providing clear, actionable information on changes. XML Merge, on the other hand, takes two or more XML files and merges the changes into a single cohesive file. This process aligns content, identifies potential conflicts, and displays differences in the output, ensuring a streamlined and error-free merging process.
Conversion Quality Assurance
ConversionQA is a comprehensive quality assurance solution designed to verify the accuracy of document conversions. It compares the original document, such as Word with the converted output, such as DITA, ensuring that the conversion process preserves the content’s integrity and structure. ConversionQA supports various document formats and provides detailed reports on any discrepancies found, helping organisations maintain high-quality standards in their document conversion processes.
Manage JSON Changes
DeltaJSON is our advanced solution for seamless JSON data management, providing effortless comparison, merging, patching, and grafting, either online or on-premises via REST API. DeltaJSON excels in delivering fast and accurate comparisons, even with large datasets, ensuring precision and avoiding false positives. DeltaJSON simplifies complex JSON data operations, maintaining consistency and integrity in your data with ease.
DeltaXML’s suite of comparison and merging solutions empower organisations to manage their documents and data with precision and confidence. These solutions enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and ensure the accuracy and integrity of critical documents across their lifecycle.

Airport Briefing
An Airport Brief contains instructions and information relating to operations at a specific airport and is meant to support pilots during flight preparation, being an important tool for Safety.
Nevertheless, most operators do not give the necessary attention to it: some keep their briefs as part of their Operations Manual Part C, with slow implementation of changes over time, while those that keep them as a separate document may still suffer with outdated information linked to the little feedback received from pilots and lack of relevant information.
Simpfly Airport Briefing solution comes to change that: integrated with Wader, our partner reporting system, we are able to offer operators with a new concept totally focused on Threat and Error Management (TEM) to improve Situation Awareness of all those involved in flight operations.
Our EFB application allows pilots to access their briefing interactively, make personal and operational notes, and report Safety threads that are shared with the whole community through visual statistics.

The DigiDOC™ suite is highly flexible and customizable and it comes tailored for iSPEC2200, S1000D as well as .PDF and other Enterprise Documents. It enables the airline or MRO to assemble an electronic repository environment that is particularly geared towards their customized needs with full integration with either AeroSoft’s DigiMAINT™ or WebPMI™ MRO / M&E solutions. More importantly, DigiDOC™ is more widely being integrated with Best-of-Breed alternative MRO / M&E Systems.
Electronic Documents On Demand
In order to meet strict regulatory needs, customer demands and financial goals, maintaining modern aircraft requires that the MRO team has real time access to accurate documentation.
… Our Solution
DigiDOC™ elements have been installed in major airlines, OEMs and MRO’s and consists of the following application elements:
- DigiDOC™ CMS – is a virtual content management repository system built and based on XML and Java, which deploys integration and process control over the Internet through a ‘logical document’ concept.
- DigiDOC™ ATA – is a CMS extension to support full scope of ATA iSPEC 2200 specification, with ability to manage locally authored content, merge OEM and local content and publish and distribute merged content.
