TBM Aviation recently partnered with Seabury Solutions to implement the Alkym ERP system for two Boeing narrowbody aircraft for an Indonesia-based airline. This project marked a key step in enabling more integrated, data-driven maintenance and operations for our client.

In this collaboration, Seabury Solutions provided the Alkym platform and supported integration with the client’s existing setup. TBM Aviation handled the system setup, configured data and workflows, and led the implementation support, ensuring the solution aligned with actual maintenance needs and business processes.

Why ERP Implementation Was Needed

For aviation operations, the need for an ERP system typically arises from growing regulatory demands and the pressure to improve coordination across departments. In this case, Alkym was chosen to manage key functions such as maintenance planning, quality assurance, and procurement in one integrated platform. The goal was to improve data visibility, streamline communication, and reduce manual work across teams.

Key Challenges and Considerations

ERP implementation involves more than just software installation. Several important factors needed to be addressed:

• Infrastructure readiness to support system performance.

• Data migration and validation, which can be complex and time-consuming.

• Alignment with real business processes to ensure the ERP supports—not hinders—daily operations.

• Cross-functional training to ensure every division is ready to use the system effectively.

• Without proper attention to these elements, even the most powerful system can fail to deliver its intended impact.

The Value of Expert Involvement

Working with an experienced ERP implementation team means the process becomes more efficient and less risky. We help tailor the system to fit your current operations, support infrastructure and data setup, and provide user training that bridges technical gaps. Expert guidance also ensures clients get more value from features they might otherwise overlook.
