ProdTool and CustoTool are two applications from OBE Solutions for flight operations documentation, built on the ATA 2300 structured-content standard. ProdTool is for aircraft manufacturers: it supports authoring of manuals such as the FCOM, MMEL and QRH, variant and configuration management, and export in ATA 2300 or the Airbus format. CustoTool is for airlines: it combines documentation from several manufacturers, merges manufacturer updates with company customisations, assembles content per aircraft configuration and tracks compliance with imported regulatory items.
OBE Solutions is a French company (SAS) in La Riche, France; its site names no foreign parent. The vendor does not state how the applications are delivered or where customer data is hosted, so European organisations should ask about deployment, data location and sub-processors. According to the vendor, the tools rely on the open ATA 2300 standard and import and export several formats, which supports portability.
