Situation and Challenges
During the expansion phase of their business, Platinum Sky Maintenance found themselves navigating the challenges of being a new player in the aviation maintenance industry. With a strong desire to streamline their processes, they recognized the limitations of relying on paper documentation for their operations. This prompted them to seek a comprehensive solution that would enhance their organization and management efforts, specifically for parts purchase orders (POs) and invoicing.
The decision to explore EBIS was driven by one of Platinum Sky Maintenance's partners who had prior experience using EBIS at a previous employer.
