Software for running aircraft maintenance checks
Keep the check moving.
MRO Pulse holds a check together, from the first finding on the floor to the customer's approval.
Everything a check touches, in one system.
A check runs on answers. Which cards are closed, which findings are real, which parts are late, who is on shift, who signed what, and what the customer agreed to pay for. Most of that still lives in spreadsheets, a whiteboard, an email thread nobody added you to, and somebody's memory of a phone call.
MRO Pulse runs the work pack. Task cards, findings, parts, blockers, labour, people and the customer conversation all sit against the same check.
The schedule and the cost move in front of you, while you can still do something about them. Not a reporting layer bolted on afterwards. The system the work actually happens in.
Every check has one spine.
The work pack is where everything else lives. Open it and the check explains itself: how many days in, how many cards closed, what is at risk.
Work packs arrive from your ERP fully loaded, so a check starts from real scope instead of a fresh spreadsheet.
Work pack overview. Schedule burn, cards complete, projected end.
What it covers
The whole working day, from the floor to the customer.
On the floor
- Scan a card with the camera to open it
- Findings raised at the aircraft
- Photos, zone, ATA and severity
- Parts requested against the card
- Time booked as the work happens
- Shift handover that carries over
- Mobile app built for the hangar floor
In the office
- Findings scoped, costed and sent up
- Parts sourcing and purchasing
- Blockers tracked to clearance
- Cost against estimate as the check runs
- Qualifications and sign-off authority
- Labour actuals against every card
- Dispatch queue for ready work
With the customer
- Their own portal, showing only their work
- Findings, cost and scope in writing
- Approvals recorded with a timestamp
- Parts decisions they can action
- Questions answered in one thread
- Full audit trail on every decision
- Nothing they should not see
The floor does not run on a desk.
Technicians get the same system on the device in their hand, at the aircraft, with gloves on. Nothing waits to be written up at the end of the shift, and nothing gets remembered wrong on the way back to a desk.
A finding travels one route, and only the right role can move it.
No verbal approvals that never got written down. No finding that quietly stops moving.

Completion against target, open findings and blockers, cost variance and schedule risk, across one check or the whole floor. Filter by base, work pack or risk.
Card burn
Closed against the curve you need to hit, not a total at the end.
Cost variance
Actual against estimate while the check is still open.
Risk by work pack
Which checks are on track, on watch, or already slipping.
Screens on the wall
Separate boards for the floor, the hangar, the base and the executive. Each one shows only what that team needs.
Origin
Written in a hangar, not near one.
Maintenance software is usually written a long way from the hangar. MRO Pulse is built by people who file the defects, chase the parts, and work the blockers that hold a check up.
