Case Study: Patria Belgium Engine Center achieves paperless MRO and faster turnaround with iBase-t Solumina MRO

Patria Belgium Engine Center (BEC) Going Paperless with Solumina MRO

Patria Belgium Engine Center (BEC), an aerospace and defense MRO provider for Pratt & Whitney F100 engines, needed to replace a heavily customized SAP system after separating from its parent business unit. With only six months before its SAP license expired, Patria BEC was looking for a modern, out-of-the-box, paperless MRO solution that could reduce human error, support compliance, and improve turnaround times. iBase-t’s Solumina MRO was selected after a structured vendor evaluation.

iBase-t implemented Solumina MRO with a one-year rollout focused on using standard functionality, careful testing, and precise data migration to support a smooth move from paper to digital workflows. The result was a paperless MRO operation, reduced errors, and improved visibility into data for continuous improvement. Patria BEC also achieved a 20% faster average assembly turnaround time, with some areas improving by up to 30%, and described the single-weekend cutover as the smoothest go-live in their experience.
