International air cargo consortium Challenge Group has selected Swiss-AS’ ‘AMOS’ software.

The group will implement ‘AMOS Airline Edition’ and ‘AMOSmobile/EXEC’ in a phased implementation that aims to unite three AOCs and Challenge’s line maintenance business unit in one environment.

The selection was made following a “comprehensive, highly professional evaluation process”, Challenge Group said.

AMOS Airline Edition is expected to enable the airlines to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and reduce overall maintenance costs by improving and digitising internal aircraft maintenance procedures. As part of the paperless maintenance process, the use of AMOSmobile/EXEC, a touch-optimised add-on to AMOS, will enable the paperless execution of all line and base maintenance activities.

To complete the service package, Challenge Group has chosen Swiss-AS ‘Cloud Hosting’, which includes ‘AMOS Operation Services’. With the use of secured VPN connections, their AMOS environment will be accessible from all international operational bases, Swiss-AS said. “The hosting services are an effective method of eliminating the need for the group to maintain a technical infrastructure on site and enabling it to operate in compliance with the latest security and IT standards,” the software company added.

The first phase of the project will focus on the Part 145 organisation, and the second phase will include the different CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation) organisations going live one by one.

“Challenge Group has defined an ambitious holistic digital innovation strategy for the coming years. The choice of AMOS to accompany our digital transformation in this specific aera of our activity is a new step and we are happy to be able to count on a reliable partner who understands our needs and shares our vision,” said Challenge Group’s chief executive officer Yossi Shoukroun.
