Olympic Air chose AQD as the best practice SMS software that integrates seamlessly with their FDM system. First Air, one of Canada's largest air carriers, selected AQD after extensively reviewing the market and evaluating a number of systems in a formal tender process.

Superstructure Group launches another world-first product with the new AQD Risk Management module designed for organisations who want to take a risk-based approach to safety management as defined by ICAO, and integrate proactive and reactive risk assessment within their daily workflow process using AQD.
AQD provides a consistent approach to managing risks associated with any business activity across your organisation including changes to operations, incident reporting, investigations and audits. By integrating risk management into the AQD causal factor analysis and action tracking framework for audits and investigations, you can leverage your existing business practices in a cycle of continuous improvement. This means a single repository for analysis and executive reporting across the organisation.
AQD has a number of additional modules that many of
our customers rely on to support their daily operations:
-
Risk Management (*New*) combining reactive risk reporting and pro-active risk/hazard identification for centralised risk management, risk assessments, risk mitigation and risk/hazard registers providing enhanced risk analysis and reporting at a departmental and corporate level.
