Leading European MRO Goes Live with SkySelect-AMOS Integration

One of Europe's largest independent MROs today announced the successful go-live of its two-way integration between SkySelect's AI-powered procurement platform and AMOS, the industry-leading MRO software solution by Swiss Aviation AS, a subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik. 

This strategic implementation enhances the efficiency and visibility of MRO's aircraft parts procurement process. It's one of several successful AMOS integrations for SkySelect, reinforcing our proven ability to deliver value quickly and reliably. SkySelect’s integration architecture was specifically designed to align with AMOS's data and workflow structures, ensuring minimal IT involvement and zero process disruption for the fastest path to value from AMOS.

The value that the customer gained with the AMOS and SkySelect integration is measurable and highly impactful: 

  • Reduced sourcing time by 30%
  • Increased work capacity by 50%
  • 100% visibility from requisition to delivery
  • Faster ROI and lower TCO than any other sourcing system

The seamless, real-time data exchange between SkySelect and AMOS empowers this MRO to digitize its entire parts procurement workflow, from initial purchase requisition to final delivery. Moving beyond the limitations of static catalogs, this integration leverages SkySelect's robust connection to a vast external network of thousands of suppliers. This ensures access to dynamic, real-time market availability and continuously updated information. 

The immediate benefits include reduced cycle times, improved on-time delivery performance, enhanced visibility, and significant cost savings.

“With SkySelect and AMOS fully integrated, we now source smarter and faster, with complete confidence in our data and processes.” — Head of Supply Chain, Leading European MRO

The integrated solution streamlines MRO's operations in the following ways:

1) Seamless Demand Ingestion: Part requirements—including Work Orders, Advanced Reorder Proposals (ARP), Part Consumption Forecasts (PCF), and Q-orders—flow directly from AMOS to SkySelect. This integration ensures that MRO's sourcing is not just proactive but fully synchronized with real-time operational needs, effectively minimizing downtime and optimizing inventory management.

2) Automated Multi-Round Sourcing & PO Optimization: SkySelect's AI algorithms automatically source the best available options in real-time. This includes recommending quotes precisely aligned with MRO's predefined business rules and optimizing POs.

3) Streamlined PO Creation and Management:

  • PO Optimization & Consolidation: Draft POs are sent to AMOS, significantly enhancing sourcing efficiency and driving substantial cost savings. 
  • Awarding & PO Creation: POs are issued directly within AMOS, making it the reliable source of truth and facilitating smooth maintenance operations.
  • Approval & PO Transmission: The PO approval workflow runs on AMOS, leveraging existing controls to ensure strict compliance while minimizing user disruption.  
  • PO Updates & Follow-up: PO updates and modifications are automatically synchronized between AMOS and SkySelect, eliminating manual effort and guaranteeing that both systems remain consistently current.
  • Shipment Tracking: SkySelect provides full visibility from dispatch to delivery, confirming receipt within the MRO warehouse.
  • Shipment Tracking: provides complete visibility into shipments from dispatch to arrival, concluding in SkySelect once parts are confirmed received in MRO’s warehouse.

The integration of SkySelect with AMOS marks a strategic leap forward, engineered to deliver significant competitive advantages through procurement automation and optimization. Unlike typical lengthy installations that can last a year or more to launch, this integration can be accomplished in 120-140 hours, empowering airlines and MROs to reap the benefits almost instantly. Contrary to the perception that integrations are complex or unproven, this case demonstrates that it can be accomplished quickly, reliably, and with measurable results—without burdening internal teams.
