Airline SMS safety management systems software used around the world varies from nonexistent to sophisticated, Web based risk management systems costing millions of dollars. Of course, not every airline SMS program has millions of dollars to spend. In order to use sophisticated airline SMS software, these airlines look for third party software solutions.
SMS Pro™ has been considered one of the best airline SMS software products on the market for the past five years. Airlines in many countries around the world use SMS Pro as their airline SMS software because it is less expensive then developing their own software solution.
When choosing SMS Pro™, airlines have an option to have NorthWest Data Solutions (NWDS), which is an aviation software company in Anchorage, Alaska, provide the servers to host their airline SMS software, or they can provide their own servers.
When SMS Pro™ is placed on the airlines' hardware, we call this product "mySMS," which stands for "make your SMS." mySMS is the same hazard reporting, risk management airline SMS software as SMS Pro, but is hosted on the airlines' hardware. The airline provides the servers, database software, backup software, etc.
Airlines with fewer than 500 employees typically have NWDS host their airline SMS program. It is considerably less expensive and airlines realize that NWDS provides better customer support than their own IT departments.
Multi-language Support
SMS Pro™ comes in four languages as of 2012.
- English (default);
- Spanish;
- French; and
- German.
