ProMRO is a Complete MRO System with ERP Integration

Our ProMRO software offers a complete MRO solution that addresses the challenges encountered by MRO operations. With our team's vast experience in the aviation and heavy equipment repair industry, we can comprehend the needs of your repair shop. Our software simplifies the management of labor, expenses, inventory, customer service, and compliance with FAA regulations, including serial number tracking. Unlike other MRO organizations that rely on disconnected systems for quoting and time-tracking, our software ensures smooth coordination and improved efficiency. By using ProMRO, you can effectively optimize your operations, save time, and increase profits.

ProMRO seamlessly integrates with two leading ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solutions, Acumatica and Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations. Our focus is on meeting the specific needs of our MRO clients, providing them with enhanced functionality and seamless integration between their MRO operations and other critical business functions. We will also help recommend the ERP solution working closely with your team to understand your unique business requirements. Here's a brief overview of key differences:

  • ProMRO Integration to Acumatica Cloud ERP - Acumatica suits small to mid-sized MROs with lean operations and robust functionality for cost and compliance needs.
  • ProMRO Integration to Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain - Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain is designed for medium to large enterprises with a substantial workforce and potentially multiple lines of business, catering to complex requirements like multi-country or multi-company operations.

4 Benefits of ProMRO 

Integrating ProMRO with ERP systems such as Acumatica or Dynamics 365 Finance and Supply Chain results in a comprehensive MRO solution that seamlessly combines the functionalities of these ERP solutions. This integration facilitates efficient coordination among all departments, including Sales and Marketing, Distribution, Manufacturing, Project Accounting, and Finance. ProMRO benefits you from a user-friendly software solution that eliminates the need for multiple software packages for different aspects of your business operations and finances. Thus, you can avoid entering the same data multiple times into different platforms, simplifying your business processes. Our consultants advise that if you enter data in more than one place, you may be using the wrong software or doing something wrong.

1. Create Easy Estimates

Simplify your job quoting process with ProMRO's standardized estimate system. Say goodbye to tedious spreadsheets and data from multiple systems. ProMRO makes your quoting process more efficient and streamlines billing and invoicing, saving you time and boosting profitability. Use ProMRO's templates for frequently offered services and Service Profiles to ensure that all your quotes are uniform and consistent. This creates a sense of consistency across all your quotes.

2. Quotes and Work Order Creation

Managing projects effectively is a crucial aspect of any business. ProMRO's Service Profiles offer you all the pertinent information you require to achieve this goal. You will receive precise time estimates, detailed descriptions of labor types, exact material estimates, and a comprehensive overview of both internal and external expenses. ProMRO's advanced features allow you to set prices for your services at standard or customized rates, even when using a template. By precisely monitoring and tracking service costs, you can optimize profitability during quoting and estimating, and ultimately increase your overall business success.

3. Reduce Data Entry

ProMRO simplifies the tedious task of converting estimates into actionable Service Projects by eliminating the need for redundant data entry. The Service Profile provides a detailed breakdown of tasks for each project, making capturing and tracking all pertinent activities easier. You can conveniently enter time directly by task or project through the web or an optional kiosk. Time entries are automatically applied to the pertinent projects, and management can readily monitor and intervene if the actual time exceeds the estimated time. ProMRO offers a user-friendly solution for handling out-of-scope work with adders that maintain the original estimate.

4. Track Inventory and Manufacturing Activities

Running out of stock on necessary items to complete repairs can be a frustrating experience. Nevertheless, this situation can be avoided by utilizing ProMRO. This powerful tool provides complete traceability for serialization and inventory, allowing you to manage your inventory efficiently. With MRO automation, you can easily keep track of multiple warehouses, various types of warehouses, and customer or vendor locations. Moreover, ProMRO supports your non-stock inventory and kits, ensuring that you never run out of essential items.

The WMS module is another excellent feature of ProMRO that saves time by enabling you to scan inventory in or out of your warehouses. If you manufacture items in your MRO shop, the Production Module can be used to create bills of materials and track routers, subassemblies, tools, and any manufacturing notes right within your connected ERP. This feature automatically associates the revenue and costs with your make-to-order projects, making it easy to see profitability. Integration with the sales orders in the system gives your team full tracking and visibility between the sales and production orders.

By utilizing ProMRO, you can streamline your inventory management process and prevent frustrating stockouts. This tool is worth your consideration if efficiency, profitability, and customer satisfaction are your top priorities.
