Transport Canada's Aircraft Services Directorate (ASD) has selected Ramco Systems‘ Aircraft Inventory & Maintenance Management System (AIMMS) software to provide an enterprise cloud-based solution for aircraft inventory and maintenance. The software will provide a fully integrated solution for rotary and fixed wing fleets at bases across Canada in support of multiple Canadian government departments.

The ASD is a multi-fleet air operator, responsible for the provision of aviation services in support of TC operations as well as those of other federal departments and agencies. With 52 aircraft, 24 of which are owned by TC, and operating on 15 bases across Canada, ASD provides aircraft operations, flight and simulator training services to TC and Transportation Safety Board inspectors, TC and Royal Canadian Air Force pilots, and maintenance technicians; conducts surveillance operations under the National Aerial Surveillance Program to search for ship-source pollution, participate in security patrols, participate in SAR operations, monitor habitats of endangered wildlife, and report ice conditions; provides services for DFO and CCG aircraft; and provides maintenance, engineering support and fleet management to the DND administrative and utility flight service.

With modules for Maintenance and Supply Chain Management, the aviation software will replace ASD's existing systems with a fully integrated solution to manage both aircraft inventory and maintenance tasks at the component level, in full compliance with the Canadian Aviation Regulations. The solution will provide ASD with modern, digital, accessible aircraft inventory and maintenance management activities from all operating bases. In addition, Ramco will help ASD enhance process efficiencies and go paperless with its Ramco Anywhere mobile apps.
