Aviation efficiency with a new mobile app

Fokker Services Group is an independent aerospace service company that has been fixing, upgrading and supporting aircraft for over a hundred years. It provides maintenance, repair, parts manufacturing and upgrade solutions for commercial, VIP, cargo and defence aircraft, with logistics centres in Atlanta, Singapore and Amsterdam and partners across the globe.

They needed one app that brought everything together in one place: inventory, orders, repairs, documentation.

Built to work anywhere, with or without signal

The app first launched as Fokker in Stock, a way to check inventory and order parts (including alternatives when the original wasn’t available). From there it kept growing to include order status, order documents, and repair requests, until it became Fokker’s main mobile channel for service.

Mechanics are on the hangar floor, often with no signal at all, so Apadmi made sure that the database worked offline, with no exceptions.

A searchable database

Building a database that could search through over half a million parts, everything from basic nuts to complex components, was no small task. It had to work equally well for mechanics, managers and buyers, three very different kinds of users with different needs.

Clarity on every part

The app gives complete visibility into whether parts are repairable, shows whether repairs are handled in-house or outsourced to third parties, and suggests an alternative whenever a requested part isn’t in stock.

RESULTS

“We are pleased to have such a brilliant partner for the development of our client app. Their ways of working, years of experience and expertise, and the energy of the team provide peace of mind and confidence. There is good energy within the team, they are straightforward and help us with the right focus.”
