Success Story — Maintenance Space

One graph. Every effectivity answer, with 100% certainty.

A multi-fleet operator's maintenance data lived in four different systems that barely spoke to each other. We connected all of it — engineering orders, illustrated parts catalogue, aircraft data and compliance records — into a single graph model: Maintenance Space.

01 — One graph, every data source

Maintenance Space is a graph model of your entire maintenance world

Engineering orders, illustrated parts catalogue data, aircraft data and maintenance compliance data — normally scattered across systems that don't talk to each other — modelled as a single connected graph, not a warehouse of disconnected tables.

01

Aircraft effectivity, 100% certain

Effectivity is computed directly from the graph's own structure, not inferred from incomplete records — so the answer is certain, not a best guess.

02

Part numbers classified by fleet

Every part number is classified by fleet automatically, feeding straight into better demand forecasting and optimised inventory levels.

03

Master data validated across ERP

The graph cross-checks master data against every connected system, catching and correcting inconsistencies before they reach planning.

04

Procurement, improved via preferred vendors

Clean, effectivity-certain part data lets procurement route sourcing to preferred vendors with confidence, not workarounds.

02 — Three layers, one graph

Engineering orders, effectivity, and parts — connected, not siloed

Effectivity sits at the centre of the graph, connected upward to every engineering order that touches it and downward to every part number it governs — so an effectivity question can be answered by walking the graph, not reconciling spreadsheets.

Effectivity Graph — EO / Aircraft / IPC Layers
Engineering Orders Layer Aircraft Effectivity Layer IPC Data Layer EO Effectivity PN Applicability
Every EO Effectivity link and every PN Applicability link is a real, traceable edge in the graph — so when an engineering order changes, every part number it affects is known immediately, across every aircraft in the fleet.
Effectivity Sunburst — Aircraft Config / IPC / EO / Part Number
EC-AAA 25-11-99 #231 52-13-99 #133 #307 EC-BBB 30-10-00 #222 33-20-10 #167 EC-CCC 25-11-99 #189 52-13-99 #257 #154 #236 33-10-10 #240 33-20-10 #390 #173 EC-DDD 75-19-99 #135 30-10-00 #279 33-20-10 #109 100 part numbers
Reading outward: each aircraft configuration resolves to its IPC chapters, each chapter to its engineering orders, and each order to the exact part numbers it governs — a single traversal replaces what used to take four separate lookups.

03 — An explorer for high-dimensional data

Every decision, grounded in data and facts

Alongside the graph sits an explorer built for high-dimensional data — a way to see across every domain at once, not one system at a time. It runs several layers of automated tests across the data in the client's ERP system, detecting and correcting deviations as they appear, so the model's accuracy compounds rather than decays.

04 — Beyond validation: prediction

The same graph that finds today's errors can predict tomorrow's needs

A validated, effectivity-certain graph is also a predictive one. Once the model trusts its own data, it can be extended forward — the specific prediction depends entirely on what the client needs next.

Predictive effectivity

Forecast which future engineering orders are likely to apply to which aircraft, before they're issued.

Predictive fleet demand

Project part-number demand by fleet ahead of the forecasting cycle, sharpening inventory decisions.

Predictive data risk

Flag records likely to drift out of sync across ERP systems before the deviation actually occurs.

Predictive vendor sourcing

Anticipate which preferred vendor best matches upcoming demand, by part, by fleet, by lead time.

05 — Our approach

How we build your Maintenance Space

The same five-stage build, whether the graph starts with two data sources or twenty.

  1. We ingest your data.

    Engineering orders, IPC, aircraft records and compliance data, connected into a single graph model — no manual reconciliation required.

  2. We resolve effectivity with certainty.

    Aircraft effectivity is calculated directly from the graph, not inferred — giving a 100% certain answer for every part number.

  3. We validate your master data.

    Automated tests run continuously across your ERP systems, flagging and correcting deviations as they appear.

  4. We classify and forecast by fleet.

    Part numbers are classified by fleet, feeding directly into better demand forecasting and optimised inventory.

  5. We turn the graph predictive.

    The same model that validates today's data can be extended to predict tomorrow's — tailored to your specific decision needs.
