Aviaso

Aviaso is a software company in Sofia, Bulgaria. It makes software only for the aviation industry. Its main products help airlines save fuel and report their carbon emissions. It also offers hosting and system integration services for airlines.

Aviaso says its products and services are used by thousands of aviation professionals every day of the year. The team has strong IT skills and has finished many software projects. Staff have also worked in flight operations, crew planning and business development. Some have worked as active airline pilots.

The Fuel Efficiency product targets one of an airline's biggest costs. Aviaso notes that fuel can be 20% to 40% of an airline's total costs. It also cites IATA, which says a good fuel savings programme can cut fuel costs by 3% to 5%. The software collects data automatically from an airline's many IT systems and checks and improves the quality of that data. It then offers analysis tools that show where fuel can be saved. Other tools track the progress of the programme and share results with the people involved.

The Emissions Reporting product helps airlines follow the EU Emissions Trading System rules. It collects data automatically and has adapters that connect straight to the main airline IT systems. More than 50 ready-made checks keep the data quality high. It includes standard reports and many extra ones for analysis, carbon account management and audits.

Aviaso also hosts applications for several airlines. The service ranges from monitoring and remote support to full hosting of all of an airline's applications. It offers service level agreements, a help desk that works all day every day, and a data centre with a high level of redundancy. Each customer receives a system book that describes the set-up and the procedures to follow.

System integration is the second service. Airlines often use systems from many vendors, and joining them takes both IT and airline knowledge. Aviaso has linked flight operations, flight planning, flight data monitoring, crew planning, passenger, maintenance, messaging and HR systems. It has also worked with Eurocontrol systems, fuel accounting tools, and weather and NOTAM systems. Named examples include Netline, AIMS, Sabre, Lido, Jeppesen, AMOS, ARINC and SITA.
