Overview

Safran Electronics Asia, established through a joint venture between Sagem Défense Sécurité and SIA Engineering Company, is a leading avionics MRO provider supporting airlines across the Asia-Pacific region. To address system limitations, strengthen real-time traceability, and secure reliable local support essential for fast-turnaround MRO operations, Safran partnered with Be One Solutions to implement SAP Business One, a scalable ERP platform tailored to the aerospace and repair services industry.

Challenges & Opportunities

Safran Electronics Asia’s previous U.S.-based system could not support the fast-paced demands of the avionics MRO industry. Limited system accessibility, missing maintenance and repair functionality and a lack of reliable local support often resulted in downtime, directly affecting turnaround commitments for airline customers. Without real-time visibility or strong traceability features, daily operations required manual workarounds and made it difficult to retrieve historical repair records. These challenges highlighted the need for a modern ERP platform that could enhance operational efficiency, strengthen control over real-time information and provide the robust, industry-ready capabilities required for continued digital transformation.

Why Be One Solutions

Safran chose SAP Business One after facing the limitations of an inflexible overseas system that lacked local support, real-time traceability and the MRO functionality needed for efficient avionics repair operations. Be One Solutions provided the dependable industry-focused expertise Safran required, delivering a scalable ERP foundation that improved accessibility, strengthened operational control and supported faster and more accurate decision-making. Throughout the project the Be One Solutions team was responsive, knowledgeable and committed to outcomes, ensuring a smooth transition to a reliable and user-friendly system.

“We needed a system that was reliable, fast and user-friendly – Be One Solutions delivered exactly that.” – Franck Scherer, Managing Director, Safran Electronics Asia
