ATC Lasham Now Live on Lawson Enterprise Software System

ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lawson Software (Nasdaq: LWSN) today announced that ATC Lasham, Ltd., the United Kingdom’s leading independent aircraft maintenance organization has successfully concluded a dual site implementation of the Lawson M3 Enterprise Asset Management Suite, including Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) functionality. The software implementations covered the company’s Lasham and Southend maintenance facilities.

Incorporated in 1995, the company’s headquarters at Lasham Airfield was first established by DAN-AIR in 1954 and has been continuously used for maintenance of large commercial aircraft. Since implementing the Lawson M3 system, ATC Lasham has achieved closer operational integration across sites and demonstrated the potential for improvement to its core business processes. ATC Lasham is now following up on the initial implementation with the extension of M3 capabilities and is rolling the system out to more users.

ATC Lasham provides engineering services for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of commercial aircraft, so it needs to comply with regulatory changes, repair types and system upgrades. Maintaining aircraft, including engines and components, is a complex activity that relies heavily on an efficient supply chain. This drove ATC Lasham’s need for an integrated ERP system with MRO functionality to help streamline the company’s operations, provide transparency into its business and offer traceability for internal logistical processes and the company’s external supply chain.

“As an independent MRO organization, our primary objective is for the continued airworthiness of our customers’ aircraft – and to do so profitably,” said Andy Finch, general manager at ATC Lasham. “We needed a system that would help us optimize the utilization of materials, tools and personnel. The Lawson system will help us forecast, plan and procure more efficiently and perform higher-quality maintenance operations.”

“This is another great testament of how our focus on Equipment Service Management & Rental allows our customers to become stronger and underscores the value Lawson delivers to them,” said Andreas Hellstrom, director of industry strategy, Equipment Service Management & Rental, Lawson. “The MRO Aviation market is getting increasingly competitive and ATC Lasham now has the tools to help drive further success in this tough marketplace where equipment tracking needs are paramount.”
