Web Manuals Streamlines Document Authoring and Compliance With New Product Update

July 7, 2016
Enhancements to its document digitization software brings greater simplicity to the increasingly complex tasks of document management and regulatory compliance.

Malmö, Sweden, July 7th, 2016: Web Manuals Sweden AB, developer of digital documentation solutions for the aviation industry, is today launching a significant enhancement to its document digitization software, designed to bring even greater simplicity to the increasingly complex tasks of document management and regulatory compliance.

The latest version of Web Manuals’ Cloud-based application – 6.0 Gripen – features a redesigned, intuitive user interface through which manuals and other documents can be swiftly navigated and edited, allowing users to easily access key functionalities. New features designed to enhance the user experience and streamline record keeping include a checklist widget, content mirror module, and records of revision module.

Another key feature of the updated application is the new alerting system, which notifies manual owners to internal tasks assigned by other team members. In addition, a new, powerful permissions manager and refined user list will further streamline configuration for large organizations. 

These new functionalities sit alongside the long-standing alerts function to Compliance Library updates, including amendments to regulations/standards from EASA, FAA, IATA, and IBAC. By alerting users through the Web Manuals platform, an operator is able to update its policies or procedures to swiftly meet new requirements.

Paul Sandström, Product Manager at Web Manuals, says: “Operators are facing a significant challenge to maintain up-to-date compliance manuals, which form an essential foundation of any aviation business. We have found this to be especially difficult for smaller operators, without the resources for a full-time regulatory compliance team. With this in mind, we wanted a way to empower our customers to simplify the work of monitoring regulations, particularly by alerting them to new issues and rule changes as they arise. This not only offers major time-savings to operators but also enables them to demonstrate conformance to auditors through documented Acceptable Means of Compliance.”

As well as harnessing the latest proven technologies in developing 6.0 Gripen, Web Manuals has also responded to customer feedback in designing new features.

Sandström explains: “Many of the features in this update reflect feedback from our customers, including the content mirror module and the checklist widget. Web Manuals’ success rests on our understanding of the particular needs of aviation operators and by putting user feedback at the heart of our product development, we are helping customers to eliminate paperwork and focus instead on their greatest priority: running a smooth and safe operation.” 

Web Manuals 6.0 Gripen is being immediately rolled out to existing and new customers. For further information, visit Web Manuals at www.webmanuals.aero.
