One-stop digital solution to transform the collaboration between airlines and MRO providers

27 August 2021: Lufthansa Technik is further expanding its customer-centric digital platform with the new MRO Management solution on AVIATAR. The newsolution combines sourcing, monitoring, and accounting on one digital platform.

The “Sourcing” application provides transparent availability of all materials currently including LRUs (Line Replaceable Units), ARCs (Aircraft Related Components), C&E (Consumables & Expendables) & tools. Customers can search for part numbers or descriptions, find alternative materials and filter for certificates, condition or location. Quotations can be requested directly through the application.

The “Monitoring” function gives an up-to-date overview of all planned, current, and completed MRO events. Based on the details provided in a structured and standardized way, critical issues can be spotted immediately, and actions can be taken via streamlined communication and fully digital approval processes. The function is currently available for base maintenance, engine, and landing gear events – including the possibility for live video conference calls from the workshop.

Through “Accounting” users can always have an up-to-date overview of all invoices, due dates, and disputes.

Philip Mende, Vice President Digital Fleet Services said, “Our newly introduced MRO Management solution transforms the collaboration of airlines and MRO providers,” said “By digitalizing the entire process in one single place, we simplify and streamline the vast amount of information and communication flowing back and forth between an MRO and the aircraft operator. We are looking forward to integrate even more features in the coming months together with Lufthansa Technik business units and other MRO providers.”
