Airops Software warns of obsolescent tech risks
Daniel Tee, a consultant at Airops Software commented: “The growth in the APAC region is staggering. However, we are concerned that the technical infrastructure that operators are using to manage their aviation assets is way behind the curve. In our view this leads to inefficiencies in asset utilisation, business process and payments – the lifeblood of any business.”
Airops also believes that business aircraft operators in Europe are increasingly looking toward business critical software systems to raise operational performance and potential purchase price.
Jonathan Tregoiing, Managing Director of Airops Software said: “The industry is entering a period of consolidation, as margin growth requires economies of scale to be created. For those that have merged or are thinking of merging; a shared, business critical platform is a necessity, in order to realise greater asset productivity and cash flow.
“Conversely, our advice for those looking to make themselves a target for acquisition, is to move away from spreadsheets to manage customer data, assets and third party costs. This is because customer data, cash flow and clarity of management information are crucial to determining the true value of a business.”
