At Isatis Software Solutions, we develop custom software for organisations that demand reliability, clarity, and efficiency. One of our current collaborations brings us into a domain where these qualities are essential: aircraft maintenance and overhaul (MRO).
We are working with the Aerospace Solutions division of ST Engineering, a global player in aerospace MRO. Their operations involve strict regulatory compliance, detailed traceability, and complex coordination, requiring a software platform that matches that precision.
Software that has to be as precise as the hangar
In aerospace MRO, every part, every action and every sign-off has to be traceable. Regulations decide who may do what, and planning has to coordinate people, parts and tools across departments without gaps. Software in this world is not a nice-to-have; it is the backbone that keeps operations compliant and moving.
A week on site
Last week, a team from Isatis visited the client’s site to work closely with their engineers, planners, and operational staff. It was a very informative week that helped us better understand the detailed business logic and requirements for the next modules in development.
Those modules include Request for Quote (RFQ) handling, pre-planning, and tools management, each with its own dependencies, workflows, and operational constraints. Seeing how the work actually flows through the hangar is worth weeks of written specifications.
Under the hood: a modern foundation
In parallel with new development, we completed a significant backend migration: moving from a GoLang codebase to modern .NET, which allows for better maintainability and scalability. We also introduced GraphQL using Hot Chocolate, offering a more flexible and efficient way to retrieve data compared to traditional REST APIs.
On the frontend, we are transitioning from the legacy Vue.js 2 interface, inherited from a previous vendor, to Angular, ensuring a more consistent, testable, and maintainable user experience going forward.
Becoming part of daily operations
Seeing the system actively used by multiple departments confirms that the software is becoming a central part of daily operations. The client also took the time to share some lighter moments outside of work, something our team genuinely appreciated.
Building software for a domain this demanding is what we enjoy most. Curious what a partnership like this could look like for your organisation? Schedule a call.
