Bristow Group is implementing Ramco Systems' Aviation M&E MRO Software V5.8 to digitally transform Bristow's maintenance and engineering operations.

Ramco already shares a decade-long relationship with Era Group. Bristow's merger last year with Era makes it the largest civilian offshore, SAR solution provider and the largest operator of S-92, AW189 and AW139 helicopters. Ramco will deploy its aviation software to track inventory and manage maintenance, engineering and operations on a single integrated platform.

Compliant with global regulatory standards, the multi-country roll-out of Ramco Aviation Software, complying with multiple regulatory bodies, will provide cost savings while increasing efficiency and reducing potential for human error, helping Bristow achieve its goal of paperless engineering and operations. Bristow's staff will also be able to interact with the solution on Ramco's mobile application, Ramco AnywhereApps and operational electronic flight bag features, which will enable them to manage their operations and receive alerts on the go, providing greater flexibility and quicker response time. Bristow will also be able to create a collaborative network of suppliers with real-time visibility and seamless performance tracking, thereby helping it improve its power by the hour and consignment tracking abilities.

The implementation of Ramco Aviation Software will enable Bristow to achieve smart inventory, maintenance management and streamline organisation-wide warranty tracking processes. The seamless integration of the solution with Bristow's financial application will help the company achieve on-time billing and financial closure.

Senior VP of global fleet management Stuart Stavley says: “When Bristow and Era merged, we had a decision to make on the go-forward software. Era shared a decade-long partnership with Ramco and has been pleased with its robust compliance and inventory management solutions. Our experience with Ramco's proven global solutions was key in our selection. We look forward to our journey with Ramco.”

Ramco CEO Virender Aggarwal adds: “Our partnership with Bristow underscores Ramco's track record as a leading software provider for the rotor wing segment. By harnessing the innovative features of our software, we are confident Bristow will be able to optimise its operational efficiency and accelerate its digital transformation strategy.”
