Maintenance & Assets (CMMS)
A complete CMMS built for airports — manage work orders, assets, preventive maintenance, and inventory across every corner of your operation.
Airport infrastructure never sleeps, and neither do the maintenance demands that keep it safe and compliant. Aerosimple's Maintenance & Assets solution gives operations teams a single, structured system to track every work order, asset, and inventory transaction — from the airfield to non-aeronautical facilities.
What's included
Work Orders (Airfield & Non-Airfield): Create, assign, and close work orders for airfield assets, apron areas, and non-airport facilities — with full audit trails in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
Preventive Maintenance: Schedule recurring maintenance tasks to stay ahead of failures and meet regulatory inspection requirements.
Job Actions & Labor Hour Tracking: Break work orders into discrete job actions and log labor hours per technician for accurate cost accounting and workforce visibility.
GIS Asset Tracking: Plot and manage every maintained asset on a live GIS map, giving your team precise location context for faster response.
Asset Registry & Lifecycle Tracking: Maintain a complete record of each asset — from acquisition through decommission — including condition assessments at every stage.
Asset Scanning: Use barcode or QR scanning to instantly pull up asset records and log work in the field without manual data entry.
Inventory Management & Warehouse Requests: Track parts and supplies, process warehouse issuance requests, and avoid costly stockouts or over-purchasing.
Why it matters
Unplanned downtime on an airfield is not just a maintenance problem — it is a safety and compliance risk. A structured CMMS ensures that every defect is documented, every repair is traceable, and every regulatory inspection has the records to back it up.
Labor and materials are among the highest controllable costs in airport operations. By connecting work orders to labor hour tracking and inventory management, airport teams gain the data they need to reduce waste, justify budgets, and demonstrate ROI to leadership and auditors alike.
Asset lifecycle data compounds in value over time. Understanding when equipment is approaching end-of-life — and having condition assessment history to support that judgment — allows airports to plan capital expenditures proactively rather than reactively.
How airports use it
When a runway light failure is reported, the airfield operations team opens an Airfield Work Order, scans the asset QR code at the fixture, and dispatches a technician who logs job actions and parts used directly from a mobile device. The completed record is immediately available for FAA or ICAO compliance review — no paperwork chase required.
On the facility side, maintenance supervisors run weekly preventive maintenance schedules across terminal HVAC units and ground support equipment, automatically generating work orders and pulling required parts from warehouse inventory through the Warehouse Requests & Issuance module. Over time, lifecycle tracking surfaces which assets are consuming disproportionate maintenance hours, informing the next capital improvement plan.
Frequently asked questions
- What types of airport facilities does this CMMS cover?
- Aerosimple's Maintenance & Assets solution covers the full airport footprint — airfield surfaces, apron areas, and non-aeronautical facilities like terminals and offices. Separate work order modules exist for each zone, so teams maintain clear audit trails and accountability across every part of the operation.
- Can this system help us meet FAA or ICAO maintenance inspection requirements?
- Yes. Preventive maintenance scheduling lets you define recurring inspection tasks tied to regulatory timelines, and every work order generates a full audit trail. This documentation supports compliance reviews and demonstrates due diligence to civil aviation authorities during audits or incident investigations.
- Does Aerosimple's CMMS support multiple languages for international airport teams?
- Yes. Work order modules are available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, allowing multinational maintenance teams to log and review records in their preferred language. This is especially valuable for airports operating across Latin America or managing multilingual contractor workforces.
- How does the GIS asset tracking feature work in the field?
- Every maintained asset is plotted on a live GIS map, giving technicians precise location context directly from a mobile device. When a work order is created, staff can locate the asset on the map instantly, reducing response time and eliminating the guesswork that slows maintenance on large airfield footprints.
- Can field technicians use their phones to log work without manual data entry?
- Yes. The Asset Scanning module supports barcode and QR code scanning, so technicians can pull up an asset record and log job actions or labor hours on the spot. This eliminates paperwork, reduces transcription errors, and keeps your asset history accurate in real time.
- How does inventory management connect to work orders in this solution?
- Parts and supplies are tracked in the Inventory Management module, and warehouse issuance requests can be initiated directly from a work order. This linkage gives managers visibility into parts consumption per job, helps prevent stockouts on critical components, and creates a clear record of material costs per maintenance activity.
- How is this solution priced and what does onboarding look like for a new airport?
- Aerosimple offers modular, subscription-based pricing so airports can adopt the specific capabilities they need without paying for unused features. Onboarding includes guided configuration, data migration support for existing asset registries, and training for operations and maintenance staff to ensure teams are productive quickly.
