    FAQs - Frequently asked questions about the software solution for Aerospace & Defence

    • Companies in the aerospace industry need an ERP system that supports complex development, manufacturing and documentation processes. This includes functions such as traceability of components and materials, support for quality and certification processes, versioning of technical documents, integrated project and change management and the management of global supply chains. Proalpha's industry solution was developed specifically for aerospace and defence companies and efficiently supports these highly regulated processes.

    • Companies in the defense industry work with sensitive data and strictly regulated projects. A suitable ERP system must therefore offer role-based access and security concepts, secure management of project and development data, audit and logging functions, support for compliance and export controls as well as long-term data and document archiving.

    • ERP systems in the aerospace industry must meet numerous regulatory requirements and industry standards. These include AS9100 quality standards, extensive documentation and audit obligations, product and material traceability, export controls and international compliance requirements, as well as the audit-proof archiving of technical documentation via an integrated DMS.

    • Proalpha supports companies in the aviation industry with certifications and audits through an integrated document management system (DMS), complete process and production histories, structured quality and test protocols and the rapid provision of relevant audit and certification evidence.

    • Proalpha's industry solution supports defense industry security requirements through role-based access rights, secure management of sensitive project and development data, logging of access and changes, and support for internal compliance and security policies.
