Aviation

Free time to focus on value-adding activities

Your contract management systems (CMS) data is your engine room, but managing it can be time-consuming. Urgent business needs often lead to incomplete or inaccurate data inputs. When downstream users can’t trust data quality, it creates long-term problems and duplicates effort.

Our accountants effectively integrate day-to-day CMS activities with the associated financial activity in the general ledgers. Our internal auditors ensure our processes have embedded controls and a high degree of assurance while our technical engineers bring the MRO knowledge necessary for quality service.

That cross-functional expertise is how we guarantee a lease management service where all aspects—technical, operational and contractual—are best in class. 

We manage more than 1,400 MSNs and achieve service continuity by putting in place strong, comprehensive processes. Our aviation lease services include:

• business-as-usual reporting,
• data management,
• alerts management, and
• deal negotiation. 

Benefit from seamless, cost-effective data solutions

Without advanced planning, data migration and systems integrations go awry. We begin each migration and integration by mapping the project, ensuring the plan to move from the source system to the new system is sufficiently detailed with the key dependencies identified.

Drawing upon our deep understanding of the underlying data, we pinpoint and resolve gaps to ensure data in the new system is complete and accurate.

We also support you in designing and running large data validation processes—from data input to postings on the general ledger. By applying our modelling expertise, we automate much of the process—ensuring a rigorous, efficient transition.

Having reviewed over 1,500 lease contracts and associated operational data, we draw on our experience and expertise to provide assurance over your CMS data and reduce exposure in divestment and default scenarios. You gain:

• a clear project and programme plan undertaken in a controlled environment,
• optimised procurement when changing systems to maximise value, and
• technically feasible and cost-competitive solutions. 

Gain confidence and insights from transparent models

Better, faster information results in better decision-making. When models lack transparency, users can’t trust the underlying data, and it’s hard to make informed decisions. Waiting on outputs from slow models can result in costly delays, missed opportunities and deal-related oversights. 

Having a best-in-class model has huge consequences for your dealmaking ability. Our standardised approach to model builds and reviews helps you stay competitive. We ensure you get the information you need when you need it. 

We build models that fully use CMS inputs and outputs. When needed, we also embed the processes required to run and maintain a model as part of business-as-usual, avoiding key-employee dependencies and providing comprehensive documentation about model-run procedures, governance, roles and responsibilities. We provide transparency on:

• maintenance-related cash flow forecasts,
• liquidity forecasting models, 
• fleet analysis, 
• optimum fleet deployment analysis, and
• securitisations.
