Kinch Aviation - Authorized Cessna Service Center - Selects Component Control for MRO Enterprise Solution Software

SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 29, 2008 --[ASDWire]-- United Kingdom-based Kinch Aviation, a Cessna Authorized Service Center, has selected Component Control's Quantum Control aviation enterprise resource planning (ERP) software as its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) system. Quantum Control combines aircraft maintenance, shop floor control, inventory management, accounting, e-commerce, sales and invoicing, and other business functions in one dynamically-updatable software suite.

“We’re excited about implementing Quantum into our growing service center,” said Kinch. “We recently expanded to a 7-day maintenance support operation with full 24/7 AOG [aircraft on ground] support for all Cessna Citation models. Based on the efficiencies we expect to gain from Quantum Control, we can continue to grow while maintaining an extremely high level of service for all customers.”
