Rusada's maintenance management software Envision has been selected by South African ACMI specialist Solenta Aviation.

Founded in 2000, Solenta provides customised passenger and cargo solutions, aircraft charter and ACMI services to multiple industries. The airline operates and manages a fleet of almost 40 aircraft, including Beechcraft 1900s, ATRs and Embraer ERJs, located at sites across the continent.

In addition to this, Solenta has a sizeable MRO operation, conducting base and line maintenance from its facilities worldwide and recently adding passenger-to-freight conversions to its growing list of capabilities. It has signed up for seven of Envision's modules, which will ultimately be deployed throughout its network of 20 sites across Africa, the Middle East, central Asia, central America and Europe.

MD Paul Hurst says: “We are a complex organisation, operating across multiple locations, so it was critical to have an experienced and knowledgeable partner such as Rusada engaged with this project. We can now roll out Envision to the rest of our network knowing we are in safe hands. We are thrilled to finally get our hands on this versatile system.”

Rusada CEO Julian Stourton adds: “Deploying seven modules across 20 sites is no mean feat. I am pleased to say the first stage of this implementation has been an outstanding success. Solenta needed a system that could successfully manage its diverse operations and combine information from numerous locations. As of today, Envision is that system.”
