Xponent | Ultramain — Aviation » Transit » Facilities Reflecting 20 Years of Continuous Refinement through Close Collaboration with Our Customers Key factors set Ultramain apart from any other system available today:
Ultramain is a comprehensive, fully integrated maintenance and logistics system that was designed to meet the complex needs of your industry. Ultramain is the only maintenance and engineering software your organization needs to completely manage its maintenance and logistics operations. Its modular and flexible architecture allows Ultramain to be implemented in different ways to meet the varied requirements of diverse organizations. With a single system supporting the whole of your maintenance and support chain, you can concentrate on improving the utilization of your workforce, thereby driving down costs. Remove the non-value-add activities from your organization and you can accomplish more with fewer resources. With a single yet modular core system that is easy to learn and easy to use, your maintenance and logistics teams can perform at optimum efficiency. This translates to an operation that delivers maximum effectiveness with minimal effort, so that you can focus upon strategic, value-add projects, instead of spending your time coordinating multiple software programs from multiple vendors.
Today’s diverse and flat organizations operate most effectively when they follow well-established and well-understood business processes. Ultramain is based on proven business practices that are built into and fortify the system’s functionality. However, even within the realm of best business practices, no two businesses operate exactly the same. Ultramain is designed for flexibility: it adapts to the distinct requirements of different organizations and their particular organizational structures, workflows, and processes. Ultramain’s built-in adaptability comes from its system setup and is easily applied through simple software switches. This means that as your business evolves, Ultramain evolves to reflect your changing requirements.
Clear Business Benefits—from Productivity to Profitability Ultramain is designed to help you manage your business more effectively. With Ultramain, you can increase asset utilization and streamline your logistics and procurement processes, and thereby dramatically increase your profitability and competitiveness. You eliminate duplicate as well as non-value-add functions, so your mechanics can concentrate on the work that adds to your bottom line.
Exceptional Capabilities and Maturity Ultramain has been continuously developed, enhanced, and refined since 1985, when it was first released. And our customers have always played a key role in this process. Our persistent pursuit of ever-better software, guided by direct, honest input from those who deploy and use Ultramain every day, allows us to offer a superior maintenance and logistics software solution. Years of refinement have made Ultramain a truly peerless solution for today’s maintenance and logistics enterprises.
Unique Enhancement Methodology Our enhancement methodology for Ultramain is unique: All software enhancements—whether customer-inspired or part of our development path—are woven into one rich code base. Separate one-off versions of Ultramain do not exist—only one modular system for all. As a result, you will never find yourself at a dead end with Ultramain. Instead, Ultramain places at your fingertips the combined intellectual capital of forward-thinking organizations from all over the world.
Ultramain users worldwide collaborate regularly, sharing ideas and comparing business practices and successful approaches. The unified nature of Ultramain allows operators of all sizes and in many different geographic locations to leverage the experiences of others and, in turn, impart their knowledge to their colleagues in the industry.
Again, no two businesses organize or operate in exactly the same way. Ultramain’s architecture is designed to fit your organization—not force you to reorganize your operations to accommodate your chosen software. You control how Ultramain is presented to your users. Based on user roles that you define, Ultramain gives your technicians and engineers just the information they need to perform their tasks—no more and no less. These focused views facilitate more efficient operations. And this streamlined, role-based functionality maximizes simplicity and ease-of-use while it minimizes training needs.
Few products have undergone the transformations that Ultramain has over time to ensure its availability on the most successful, proven technologies. Today, Ultramain operates on client/server and web-based technologies. However, introducing Ultramain to your operations does not force you into IT change; rather, Ultramain provides a path to the future when you are ready to go there. Because of our commitment to keeping Ultramain current with the relevant technology of the day, you will never be backed into a technology corner with Ultramain.
Any user familiar with the Windows desktop look-and-feel will quickly become productive with Ultramain. The system’s consistent design, sensible layout, and one-button online help give users a powerful yet easy-to-use tool for doing their jobs. Ultramain’s sophisticated workflow routing automatically delivers necessary information to those who need it—when they need it. Ultramain’s intelligent Action Desk™ push-oriented architecture keeps users from having to hunt for information.

With Ultramain’s modular yet integrated design, the system captures data once and populates it throughout the entire system, making critical information available to other users based on their established permission levels. Data that is updated or modified in one Ultramain module is automatically changed in all other relevant modules—you don’t have to capture the data again and again across different software systems. And Ultramain’s proven integration architecture allows quick integration with scheduling software, technical documentation libraries, and accounting and payroll applications. Ultramain also seamlessly integrates with desktop applications such as Microsoft Excel, Project, Word, and Adobe Acrobat, and works with many popular electronic mail solutions. Naturally Ultramain supports the use of bar-code, radio frequency, and handheld devices for ease of data capture and mobile use.
