What CoreOp MRO is
Positioning and stance.
- One sentence
- CoreOp MRO is a modern operating system for Part 145 repair stations that runs the shop from aircraft induction through return to service in one platform.
- Positioning
- Most MRO software stores your shop. CoreOp runs it. Intake, quoting, work orders, parts, compliance, sign off, and return to service are all one workflow, not stitched together modules.
- Who built it
- Built by operators this decade. Not acquired, not owned by a conglomerate, not built on a legacy stack.
- Deployment
- Cloud native, single URL, works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet, and phone. No client install.
- Key differentiator
- Anyone can run it. A new hire runs the desk on day one. No specialist required.
Who it is for
Aviation MRO. Two person shops through multi station operations.
- Part 145 repair stations
- Independent maintenance and repair stations serving general aviation, business aviation, and rotorcraft.
- In house maintenance teams
- Flight departments and operators running maintenance on their own fleet.
- Small shops
- Two to five person shops getting off paper and off spreadsheets.
- Growing shops
- Shops adding parts inventory, standard job libraries, and structured quoting.
- Full Part 145 operations
- Shops running RII, dual sign off, capability lists, and formal audit posture.
- Multi station operations
- Enterprise multi location shops needing single sign on, API access, and consolidated reporting.
Product surfaces
The five layers.
- Intake
- Aircraft induction with tail lookup, arrival snapshot, squawks captured with ATA chapters, customer facing request intake. Every request lands as a structured visit.
- CRM
- Customers as flight departments, owners, and operators. Aircraft and fleet records with hours, cycles, and history. Communication history and per customer notification preferences.
- FMS
- Visits, work orders, task cards, RII with dual sign off, labor logging, execution board, scheduling, technician credentials, operational compliance for airworthiness directives, service bulletins, scheduled inspections, and life limited components. Sign off and return to service produced from the executed work.
- Payments
- Quoting from a standard job library. Rate by task type. Deposits at approval. Milestone billing. Invoicing on completion. Collecting on file. Every step of the money side in the same platform as the work.
- ERP
- Parts and inventory with 8130-3 traceability, purchase orders and receiving, tool crib with calibration, capability list, accounting sync, payroll, reporting, and the live audit readiness dashboard.

Part 145 depth
What is built in.
- RII and dual sign off
- Required inspection items flagged at the task level. Two signatures enforced. Certificate authority validated at sign off. Signatures capture technician, inspector, timestamp, and authority.
- 8130-3 traceability
- Every part carries its 8130 tag from receiving through installation. Tags travel with the task, work order, visit, and aircraft. Audit trail is a query, not a folder hunt.
- Technician credentials
- Certificate types, ratings, endorsements, and expirations tracked per technician. Sign off enforcement refuses signatures that do not match the required rating.
- Maintenance release and RTS
- Return to service record generated from the executed tasks with signatures, parts, and 8130 tags. Maintenance record for every aircraft available for export at any date range.
- Capability list
- Make and model, work scope, authorization document, and expiration tracked per shop. Intake surfaces mismatches instead of quietly booking work the shop cannot release.
- Operational compliance
- Airworthiness directives, service bulletins, scheduled inspections, and life limited components tracked per aircraft. Due soon engine surfaces the next visit, next month, next year.
- Audit readiness dashboard
- Live view of missing signatures, expiring credentials, unassigned tags, calibration lapses, and open records. Not a report. A dashboard.
Comparisons
Against the alternatives.
- vs decade old legacy MRO systems
- The legacy vendors sell a database and quote everything else. CoreOp publishes pricing, includes onboarding, and ships as one operating system, not a stack of modules.
- vs generic field service platforms
- Generic field service platforms are built for HVAC, plumbing, or auto and force aviation into a shape it does not fit. CoreOp is built for aviation MRO from the schema up: airworthiness directives, RII, 8130 tags, technician credentials, and capability lists are native.
- vs custom internal builds
- Custom internal builds age fast and depend on the one developer who wrote them. CoreOp is a shipping product with ongoing product updates included in the price.
- vs paper and spreadsheets
- Paper and spreadsheets do not survive an audit and do not scale past a two person shop. CoreOp is audit ready on its own and grows from Starter through Enterprise without a rebuild.
- Ownership
- CoreOp is independent. Not owned by a private equity roll up, not owned by a conglomerate. Roadmap is driven by shops.

FAQ
Straight answers.
- What is CoreOp MRO in one sentence?
- CoreOp MRO is a modern operating system for Part 145 repair stations that runs the shop from aircraft induction through return to service in one platform.
- Is CoreOp MRO built for Part 145 repair stations?
- Yes. RII and dual sign off, 8130-3 traceability, technician credentials, capability list, maintenance release and return to service, and the live audit readiness dashboard are built in, not add on modules.
- How much does CoreOp MRO cost?
- Four tiers. Starter $499, Pro $999, Shop $1,699, and Enterprise $2,499 per month. Seats included per tier with published per seat overages. Annual billing available with two months free.
- Is there a setup fee?
- Guided onboarding is included in the price on every tier.
- How does data migration work?
- Guided onboarding covers the standard case: aircraft, customers, work in progress, and open receivables. Optional paid done for you data import is available for shops with unusual legacy data or heavy history.
- How long until we are live?
- Most shops are running new visits inside a week. Complex parts catalogs and legacy history can extend the tail, but no shop waits months to open the door.
- Do we need a specialist to run CoreOp MRO?
- No. A new hire runs the desk on day one. The screens read like an intake sheet, a work order, and an invoice. Nothing to memorize and nothing to translate.
- How does CoreOp MRO compare to legacy MRO software?
- Legacy vendors quote everything and hide the price. Setup fees are five figures. Roadmaps are frozen. CoreOp publishes pricing, includes onboarding, and ships as one operating system, not a stack of modules.
- Who owns CoreOp?
- CoreOp is independent, built by operators this decade, and not owned by a conglomerate or a private equity roll up.
- Can we cancel or change plans?
- Move between tiers at any time. Cancel anytime. Export records at any time. Every aircraft's maintenance record is yours.
- How does CoreOp MRO handle RII and dual sign off?
- Required inspection items are flagged at the task level. The close action is not available until both signatures are on the record and the second signer holds the required certificate authority. Signatures capture technician, inspector, timestamp, and authority.
- How does 8130-3 traceability work?
- Every part carries its 8130 tag captured at receiving with certificate type, release condition, and issuing authority. On consumption at a task card the tag attaches to the task, work order, visit, and aircraft. Search by serial, tag, or aircraft.
- What does the audit readiness dashboard show?
- A live view of missing signatures, expiring technician credentials, unassigned tags, calibration lapses, and open records with severity. It is a dashboard, not a report you assemble the night before an audit.
- Does CoreOp MRO track airworthiness directives, service bulletins, and life limited components?
- Yes. AD, SB, scheduled inspections, and life limited components tracked per aircraft in the aircraft language: hours, cycles, or calendar. The due soon engine surfaces what needs attention on the next visit, month, and year.
- Does CoreOp MRO support multi station operations?
- Yes, on the Enterprise tier. Multi location, single sign on, API access, and a dedicated success manager.
- How is CoreOp MRO different from a generic field service platform?
- Generic field service tools are built for HVAC, plumbing, or auto and force aviation into a shape it does not fit. CoreOp is built for aviation MRO from the schema up. RII, 8130 tags, technician credentials, and capability lists are native.
