Product Showcase: Aviation Software Integrations with OASES Workflow and Gateway

Aviation maintenance operations are complex, requiring efficiency and the seamless integration of multiple systems. The latest version of OASES – Release 11 – features enhanced aviation software integrations that help unify your broader ecosystem, ensuring that your operations are smoother and more efficient than ever before.

Central to these enhancements are the new OASES Gateway and OASES Workflow. Built using the latest technologies, they make sure that interactions between systems are not only faster and more reliable but also scalable to meet future demands. Read on to learn more.

The Challenges of Unintegrated Systems

When different systems cannot talk to each other, information is siloed and users have to waste time entering data multiple times in different systems. This type of setup compromises data integrity and makes it difficult to share insights amongst different teams. On the whole, it means that progress is slower than it needs to be.

The integration of different operational systems significantly streamlines workflows and gets rid of common bottlenecks. Of course, implementing new integrations is often a complex undertaking and it’s vital to ensure that the chosen integrations align with business processes before development starts.

With that said, using the right tools – speeds up the process.

Powerful Aviation Software Integrations

Our solution and its many modules offer comprehensive functionality beyond simply planning and monitoring aircraft maintenance activities. This functionality includes materials and inventory management; warranty, customs and commercial management; and the management of the fleet’s continuing airworthiness (amongst other features).

With that said, here are some other systems that often connect with airline MRO software to enhance workflows:

• Flight operations systems: This integration can synchronise flight and maintenance schedules to optimise aircraft availability.
• Supply chain management systems: This streamlines the procurement process and supplier interactions.
• External analytics tools: Companies already using analytics platform as opposed to our built-in Insights tool can easily connect all their data with such platforms.
• HR systems: This can help align maintenance staff schedules with work orders and operational demands.
• CRM systems: Connecting these platforms with MRO software helps MRO providers enhance communication with customers regarding maintenance status/service updates. It may also help with the monitoring and management of SLAs.

Introducing Our New Powerful APIs

What is OASES Gateway?

OASES Gateway serves as a common API interface upon which a new library of standard REST APIs is being built.

It will enable our customers to develop integrations internally or via third party resources; as a result, our aviation MRO software will be able to connect with a wide variety of systems, while allowing other systems to access its own data more securely.

So, when is it available? Right now, as part of Release 11. New REST APIs are currently in development, such as the new ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) REST API, which is currently being developed to further enhance data handling capabilities.

Key Benefits of OASES Gateway

What exactly does this new addition to our offering mean for you? OASES Gateway is key to strengthening your overall ecosystem; integration with a wide variety of systems becomes more streamlined thanks to this tool, enhancing collaboration across the board.

Gateway simplifies how other software and services can integrate with OASES, making the integration process faster, more reliable, and scalable. As such, it helps you meet the growing demands today’s aviation industry is witnessing more easily than before.

What is OASES Workflow?  

This new, customised workflow tool enables the creation of custom aviation software integrations based on specific customer needs. It also allows for the creation of a library of ready-to-go integrations, facilitating more agile and tailored solutions for different operational requirements. Like Gateway, OASES Workflow is ready for use today with Release 11.

Key Benefits of OASES Workflow

Key benefits include:

• Flexibility: Customers now have more flexibility than ever when it comes to fine-tuning their workflows, enhancing efficiency and productivity.
• Preparedness: Creating a library of pre-configured integrations ensures that new integrations can be implemented quickly, without the need for extensive development time.

More Benefits of Expanding Your Use of Aviation Software Integrations

There’s always room for process improvement, even if things are working well already. Here are some other advantages you can gain by making the most of these new features:

• Improved accuracy: Correctly integrated systems ensure that data is updated in real time across all platforms, reducing errors caused by outdated information.
• Lower operating costs: Having seamlessly connected systems removes the need for duplicate data entry, reducing administrative costs.
• Freeing up development resources: With standardised APIs and pre-configured workflows, IT teams can focus on developing core functionalities rather than spending a lot of time on integration.
• Strategic flexibility: The ability to quickly implement new aviation software integrations allows companies to adapt to changing business requirements and leverage new opportunities more effectively.
• Better collaboration: Integrated systems enable better communication and collaboration between departments, enhancing overall efficiency.
• Employee satisfaction: The less repetitive, manual tasks required, the more time employees have to focus on fulfilling work.

What Else is New in Release 11?

Other new developments include an improved user interface and advancements to Insights, our Business Intelligence tool. We’ve also upgraded the functionality of several modules including the Maintenance Control module.  

Release 11 offers greater security thanks to its enhanced cybersecurity infrastructure along with multi-factor authentication and SSL/TLS encryption. We’ve also made the login process more convenient and secure.

Conclusion

OASES Release 11 comes with two new Integrations features that provide companies with more flexibility than ever.

Again, these features are available right now, so our customers can begin to reap the benefits of streamlined workflows, improved data management, and greater operational flexibility.

We look forward to seeing how these new tools help our customers succeed. To learn more or book a demo of Release 11, contact us today.
