Not Just Another Software. A Purpose-Built Solution.
Built by airworthiness professionals for airworthiness professionals. 20 years of DOA experience, distilled into software.
Why CIVIRES Is Different
There is software for QMS. There is software for SMS. There are enterprise PLM systems. But none of them understand what it's like to manage certification for an SME DOA. CIVIRES does.
Built by People Who Live Your Reality
We're not software developers trying to understand aviation. We're airworthiness engineers who got frustrated with existing tools and ventured to build what we needed. As a professional solution, with a sustainable IT stack.
We've managed certification projects, dealt with authorities, fought with Excel spreadsheets, and experienced the audit panic when requirements don't match documents.
Requirements at the Center, Not an Afterthought
Generic QMS tools bolt requirements management onto document workflows. Enterprise PLM systems adapt design processes for certification.
CIVIRES starts with the compliance matrix and builds everything around it. Requirements → Activities → Documents. Not the other way around.
Actually Designed for SME Design Organisations
Enterprise PLM is built for Airbus-scale organizations with dedicated IT departments and year-long implementations.
CIVIRES brings you enterprise capability without enterprise complexity or cost. Professional-grade certification management that you can actually deploy, actually use, and actually afford.
Continuously Evolving with You
We're not selling you software and disappearing. We're partnered with you.
New regulations? We update the requirements library. New feature needs? We listen and build. Your DOA scope expands? CIVIRES grows with you. Automatic updates. Continuous improvement. No upgrade projects.
CIVIRES vs. The Alternatives
Let's be honest about what you're comparing.
CIVIRES vs. Excel Spreadsheets
The Excel Reality:
- "Free" software, expensive in time
- Manual everything: cross-referencing, version control
- High risk of disconnects between matrix and documents
- Nightmare during audits
- Training new staff is painful
The CIVIRES Advantage:
- Automatic bidirectional requirements-document linking
- Always in sync, zero manual cross-checking
- Enforced workflows ensure nothing falls through cracks
- Audit-ready traceability built in
- New staff productive in days, not months
Bottom Line: Excel is fine for tracking your grocery list. Certification deserves better.
CIVIRES vs. Enterprise PLM
The Enterprise PLM Reality:
- Implementation costs: €500,000 - €2,000,000+
- Deployment time: 12-24 months
- Requires dedicated IT team to maintain
- Built for global OEMs with multi-site operations
- Massive overkill for SME DOA needs
The CIVIRES Advantage:
- Affordable monthly subscription
- Weeks to deployment, not years
- No IT department required
- Built specifically for DOA certification workflows
- Right-sized for SME reality
Bottom Line: You get 80% of PLM capability at 10% of the cost and complexity.
CIVIRES vs. Generic QMS/SMS Tools
The QMS/SMS Reality:
- Good at safety management and quality processes
- NOT requirements-based at their core
- Don't understand certification basis structures
- Treat compliance matrix as just another checklist
- Missing airworthiness-specific features
The CIVIRES Advantage:
- Requirements management is core, not bolted on
- Understands TCDS, certification specs, special conditions
- Pre-loaded with EASA CS and FAA FARs
- Compliance matrix is the project hub
- Speaks the language of the authority experts
Bottom Line: QMS tools are great for what they do. Certification management isn't what they do.
20 Years of Airworthiness. Built Into Software.
We didn't learn aviation from textbooks while building this software. We learned software development to solve our aviation problems.
Hands-On DOA Experience
Our team includes certified airworthiness engineers with Type Certification experience, CVEs who've signed off hundreds of projects, and former DOA office heads.
We know what works because we've done it. We know what doesn't work because we've suffered through it.
Real-World Understanding
We understand the 2am panic when compliance showing doesn't match documents, the aircraft is on the apron ready, but paperwork is catching up. The frustration when Excel formulas break. The difficulty explaining certification timelines to management.
CIVIRES solves real problems because we've lived those problems.
Ongoing Expertise Access
Your CIVIRES subscription includes expert support from people who understand airworthiness, CVE consultation for certification questions, and airworthiness engineering advisory.
We're not just a software vendor. We're your airworthiness partners.
