Digitizing Night Shift Operations for a Leading Middle East Airline

About Client

A major airline based in the Middle East—renowned for its engineering excellence—faced a common yet critical challenge: manual night shift handovers that relied heavily on emails and spreadsheets.
These outdated processes caused delays, made it hard to track task status, and left gaps in communication between engineers, maintenance managers, and shift supervisors.

Business Requirement

In collaboration with CCS Technologies, an airline undertook a 3-month digital transformation initiative. The goal? Build a custom night shift management system using Microsoft 365 tools to streamline operations and reduce manual effort.
