Rotorcraft services provider Meridian Helicopters has selected Component Control's Quantum Control software package to enhance its inventory tracking, planning capabilities and customer service, Component Control (Booth 4221) announced.

“We expect 2017 to be a record year for us in helicopter leasing and brokerage services,” said Michael Bashlor, Meridian’s managing partner and director of Bell programs, adding that the Quantum program will help his company in future planning. “Most importantly, Quantum fills a void for us in tracking work orders, exchanges, POs and ROs in a much more efficient way.”

Louisiana-based Meridian provides helicopter brokerage services in North and South America for oil and gas, corporate, geological, fire-fighting, and government operators. It also offers leasing for corporate, tourism and flight training customers, as well as MRO capabilities for the Bell Helicopter line.

“Quantum gives us that extra little edge in planning, tracking and accuracy of inventory,” noted Bashlor. “Our parent company Cadorath (Booth 7106) has been impressed with the system and is moving towards switching one of its division’s software to Quantum."
