Amsterdam, Netherlands – 4 November, 2024: TracPlus has been selected by Avincis, Europe's leading provider of emergency aerial services, to deliver operational intelligence and tracking across their fleet of around 220 aircraft. The partnership, announced today ahead of European Rotors in Amsterdam, will bring together all aspects of Avincis' operations - from Emergency Medical Services to Search and Rescue and Aerial Firefighting - across their 180 bases onto one coordinated management platform.
Operating in over 40 countries globally, TracPlus consolidates complex operational data into actionable intelligence. By integrating with more than 60 different types of tracking devices including ADS-B, the platform captures detailed mission data - flight times, locations, operational patterns, and mission-specific metrics - providing organisations with a single source of truth for their operations. This comprehensive view enables operators to understand exactly how their assets are being utilised, from individual flight patterns to fleet-wide operational trends.
John Boag, Group CEO at Avincis says that selecting TracPlus was a strategic move for Avincis and was driven by TracPlus' unmatched system flexibility and integration capability.
“TracPlus stood out for their ability to seamlessly consolidate our diverse operations into a single, coherent system. Their ability to integrate hardware from existing install devices was instrumental in our decision. This seamless integration not only simplified our transition but also revolutionised how we answer the critical questions of 'where are my aircraft and what are they doing?’
“With TracPlus, we're able to achieve a level of operational visibility and efficiency which we simply couldn't before, and we didn't need to change any of the tracking devices already installed. This comprehensive approach to data analytics and operational intelligence has revolutionised our understanding of fleet performance, safety metrics, and operational efficiency and ensures Avincis remains at the forefront of aerial emergency services.”
TracPlus' Chief Product Officer, Todd O’Hara, says he is incredibly proud to partner with Avincis, acknowledging the trust placed in TracPlus technology by the world's largest aerial emergency service operator.
"Our solutions are specifically engineered to support the demanding nature of mission-critical operations like those undertaken by Avincis. Through seamless integration with existing systems and advanced analytics, we're helping Avincis focus on what matters most - delivering exceptional emergency services. This partnership demonstrates our commitment to providing emergency service operators with the tools they need to excel in their critical missions, whether that's firefighting in Spain or search and rescue in Scandinavia.
“For Avincis, this means bringing their entire operation into a unified view - tracking everything from takeoff times and flight durations to mission-specific data like water drops during firefighting operations or search grids during rescue missions. This consolidated operational intelligence enables better decision-making, enhanced safety oversight, and improved operational efficiency across their entire network.”
