Component Control announced today that customer RLC, the largest privately-held helicopter operator in the Gulf of Mexico, is leveraging Quantum MRO and Logistics software to implement trend-based preventative maintenance programs that improve helicopter performance and reduce downtime.  RLC, certified by the FAA to provide full-service helicopter maintenance, currently operates 10 aircraft bases and maintains a 10,000 square-foot parts department.

“Quantum has outperformed previous software solutions by connecting all of our business processes,” said Joyce Cornett, Inventory Systems Manager at RLC.  “At our fingertips, we have complete knowledge of aircraft maintenance records and parts traceability, and can view inventory at our 10 bases from any base location.  This real-time information enables us to identify maintenance trends and options prior to new requirements emerging. And the complete integration simplifies the management of aircraft data, increasing our overall fleet efficiency and allowing us to quickly and accurately respond to our customers.”

RLC also lists over 17,000 stock lines to StockMarket.aero, Component Control’s free online inventory listing service for aviation parts.  The StockMarket module is an integrated supply chain tool that allows vendors who use Quantum Control to automatically post real-time updates of selected inventory and service capabilities to StockMarket.aero. “The StockMarket module has efficiently diversified our service offerings to a broader customer base while enabling us to remain focused on our core business,” said Cornett.

The Quantum Control MRO and Logistics solution installed at RLC operates on a highly scalable and secure OracleTM database and includes a range of logistics and business modules.  For more information on the specific modules purchased by RLC, please see appendix one below.
