Affordable SMS Database: Simple, Compliant Safety Solutions

Affordable

Affordably designed for very small  operations with 5 to 200 employees. Small flight schools will see tremendous benefits here, as well as many other types of aviation service providers, such as small certified AMOs, FBOs and ground handling companies.

ABC will never be free, as you won't respect us in the morning. However, we do have some very creative ideas so you may not always have to pay in currency.

Baseline cost for ABC is $1,000 initial setup and $1,010 per year for up to 20 user accounts. Here are links to the formal "Agreement for Services" and "Request for Service."

Question: "I don't have $1,000. What can you do to help?" Creative financiers are welcome to contact me. TASSC is committed to improving system safety, not making money. Here are some ideas to creatively finance your $1,000 initial setup fee or the subscription.

Basic

Designed for simple (single division) to moderately complex operations with multiple divisions.

If you will only ever need basic, SMS compliance, you will not worry about growing out of this system for the foreseeable future. ABC will easily handle the needs of an organization with 1,000 employees with the use of divisions. Therefore, if you are a startup and expect organizational growth to 1,000 employees in a few years, ABC will easily handle the load. We've been supporting such systems for many years.

When we say "Basic," we don't expect SMS movers and shakers to be joining ABC. You should be considering SMS Pro. SMS Pro is where all the exciting, cutting edge SMS activity occurs.

This Affordable, Basic system is designed for operators with limited financial means and startups. Don't expect your support tickets to be answered in an hour or less, as the SMS Pro community frequently enjoys.

Affordable Basic Compliance is a low-cost way for any operator to "just to check the box" if that is the business need. Not everyone craves to be an SMS rock star and not everyone demands world-class-support.

While ABC is "basic," it is most certainly scalable. Startups can easily grow, just as this airline case study shows. The case study demonstrates the SMS Pro database helping a startup over a ten-year-period. ABC is an SMS Pro variant created in September 2020.

Compliance

These selected tools have industry-accepted workflows that have been practiced since 2008. Across the world, regulatory agencies have accepted these tools as being fit for purpose as operators sought SMS regulatory compliance. We guarantee that this entire suite of tools has all the required elements for an IATA or BARS SMS audit, not to mention the FAA and other well-known civil aviation authorities.

We guarantee that these tools are fit for purpose. We don't guarantee that your SMS will be compliant if you subscribe to ABC. You have to actually use these tools to pass an audit. If you get these tools, there will be no hiding from SMS auditors for sloppy SMS documentation work.

Smaller operators instantly gain access to multi-million dollar tools with industry accepted risk management workflows. These excellent, aviation-specific SMS database tools have everything you will need, including an SMS manual template should you need to modify your SMS manual.

These tools make SMS compliance easy.

The sad fact is that SMS Pro is exceptionally good, but too expensive and complicated for an operator who just wants to make money and "just check the compliance box."

Not everyone needs to be an SMS rockstar. Being an SMS rockstar is great is that is your passion, but some people need to focus on being profitable before the "SMS rockstar" stage.
