14 CFR PART 145 · RECEIVING · TRACE · RELEASE · FLORIDA

We build software that takes documentation work off a Part 145 shop floor.

Engenious is a Florida software engineering firm. We map how your shop actually handles receiving, trace and release paperwork. Then we build and prove one automation at a time, each against a number you agree to in advance.

We are also running a benchmark study of documentation time in Part 145 shops. Fifteen minutes of your time, and you get the results.

01 — WHY PART 145

Repair stations came out on top.

We compared a range of regulated industries before deciding where to build. Repair stations came out on top for four reasons.

R-01

The work product is documentation.

A repaired component ships with an FAA Form 8130-3 and the trace behind it. Without them the part has no value.

R-02

The rules change slowly.

14 CFR Part 145 defines what your quality system (145.211) and your records (145.219) must cover. Software built against a stable rule keeps working.

R-03

The work suits software.

Tags, certs and trace documents are scanned, emailed, filed and re-keyed. Reading and checking documents is something software now does well.

R-04

It is on our doorstep.

Florida is one of the leading states for repair stations. The shops in Miami, Opa-locka, Hialeah and Fort Lauderdale are a short drive from us.

02 — WHY ENGENIOUS

We do not start from zero.

Three things put us in a position to build for repair stations that a generalist vendor cannot match.

A library of proven automation modules.

We have spent years building products for hundreds of customers across multiple industries, and we kept what worked. The result is a large library of tested modules, some AI and many not: document capture and extraction, data validation, system integrations, reporting and alerting. Your pilot is assembled from parts already proven in production, not written from scratch.

A world-class team of builders.

We have spent our whole working lives building products and solutions. It is all we do, and clients rate our work 4.8 out of 5 on Clutch.

We are here in Florida.

We are not a remote vendor. Discovery, rollout and support happen in person, and if something needs attention we can be in your shop the next business day.

What we are not is aviation people, and we do not pretend to be.

That is why we are running the benchmark below, why every engagement starts with a week in your shop, and why your quality manager approves every step.

03 — THE PART 145 DOCUMENTATION BENCHMARK

Going deep into an industry means measuring before building.

So we are running a benchmark study, and we are inviting 40 quality managers at component and accessory shops to take part.

WHAT WE MEASURE

How much time documentation takes per unit, from receiving inspection to release, and where that time goes. We could not find a published number.

WHAT IT TAKES

Eight questions and fifteen minutes: online, by phone, or in person at your shop.

WHAT YOU GET

The aggregated results before we publish them, so you can compare your shop with your peers.

WHAT WE PROMISE

No shop names, no certificate numbers and no attributed quotes. Afterwards you hear from us twice: once with the results, and once to ask whether you would like to talk further. If you say no, that is the end of it.

Take the 15-minute benchmark survey

The benchmark is the lightest way to start a conversation with us. Below is how an engagement runs if you want to go further.

04 — HOW WE WORK

Eight steps. You can stop after any of them.

1

A short call and an NDA.

Thirty minutes to confirm there is a fit. We sign your NDA before we see a single document. If you took the benchmark survey, we start from your answers.

2

A week in your shop.

We follow real units from receiving inspection to release. We sit with the receiving inspector, the technicians, the records clerk and the quality manager. We watch and ask. We do not touch your systems.

3

Your process map, handed over.

Within two weeks you receive a written map of the workflow as it really runs: each step, who does it, which system or form it uses, and where the time goes. It is yours to keep, whatever happens next.

4

A ranked list of opportunities.

Each one comes with the expected effect, the effort and the risk. Some need AI, such as reading incoming 8130-3 tags and certs. Some need plain automation. Some need no software at all, and we will say so.

5

A pilot proposal with one number.

One workflow. One KPI you choose, for example minutes per trace package or receiving-inspection turnaround. A baseline measured before we build. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, fixed price.

6

Build and safe rollout.

Pilots are scoped to be built in six to eight weeks, with a demo every two weeks. The pilot first runs alongside your current process, so nothing depends on it until your quality manager says it is ready. Any change to a written procedure goes through your own manual revision process.

7

Shared monitoring and support.

You and we watch the same KPI on the same dashboard. You have a direct line to the engineers who built it, and we come on site for anything urgent.

8

A joint decision.

When the pilot ends, we compare the result with the baseline together. If the number moved, we agree what to roll out next. If it did not, you stop, and you keep the process map and the findings.

05 — WHAT STAYS IN YOUR HANDS

The signature.

Every release is still signed by your authorised people. The software prepares and checks. It does not certify.

Your manuals.

Your RSM and QCM stay yours. Nothing changes without your quality manager.

Your data.

It stays in your environment, or in a US-hosted environment you approve in writing before the pilot starts.

The exit.

You can stop after any step.

Start with fifteen minutes, or start with a week.

Either way, you decide what happens next.
