ESPOO, Finland & DAHLEWITZ, Germany - QOCO Systems, a global provider of mission-critical SaaS solutions for technical operations in aviation, has successfully gone live with its data management platform for the Business Aviation division of Rolls-Royce. This milestone builds on the long-standing partnership between QOCO and Rolls-Royce, extending the capabilities previously deployed for commercial aviation into the business aviation arena.
The enhanced platform enables seamless, secure, and automated exchange of engine configuration and maintenance data across Rolls-Royce systems and external M&E to Rolls-Royce’s executive system. The platform supports the broader business aviation ecosystem, allowing operator, MRO and OEM data flows to be managed efficiently, maintain data integrity, and accelerate decision-making.
Long-term partnership background
The partnership between QOCO and Rolls-Royce began in 2018 when Rolls-Royce engaged QOCO to support its “Blue Data Thread” digitalisation programme and its “Intelligent Engine” vision (more information). By automating and standardising data exchange between airline M&E systems and Rolls-Royce digital services, QOCO helped reduce integration effort and improved transparency for carriers. For example, one case study reports a reduction of effort by more than 50% for some services (case study).
Today’s go-live with the Business Aviation division expands this foundation to a new operational domain, enabling Rolls-Royce to work more efficiently and to deliver its digital services and support more precisely to business aviation customers.
Customer value proposition
With the new data management platform in place for Business Aviation, the key benefits to Rolls-Royce and its customers include:
Matti Nevala, CEO of QOCO Systems, commented:
“Our collaboration with Rolls-Royce has matured significantly over the years and we’re delighted to deliver our solution for the Business Aviation division. By extending our platform into the OEM / MRO / operator ecosystem in business aviation, we’re helping build the data foundation for the next generation of aircraft lifecycle services.”
Kristian Harder, Data Operations Manager of Rolls-Royce Deutschland, commented:
“With QOCO solutions for Business Aviation we are able to significantly increase the timeliness of data. With QOCO solutions we are aiming to fully automate the processing of data from internal and external sources into the executive tools. The already existing close relationship with our Commercial Airlines team in Derby has been the foundation for the adaptation of the capabilities. QOCO’s team is extremely skilled and focused. The team created an atmosphere that made it easy to work towards the common goal.”
