What Flatirons Solutions does

Flatirons Solutions is a Boulder, Colorado-based enterprise software company founded in 2001 that builds technical content and task management platforms for the aerospace, aviation, MRO, and defense industries. Its platform centers on Flatirons Pinpoint, an IETP viewer that consolidates S1000D, ATA iSpec 2200, service bulletins, and PDF data into a single repository with inline editing, 3D visuals, and multimedia; Flatirons eTaskcard, a digital work card solution with mobile access and ERP integration; Flatirons Insight, a workflow and predictive analytics tool; and Flatirons Knowledge Center and Studio for XML content authoring. The company packages these capabilities into MRO, Fleet, and Manufacturer Editions, and in June 2026 acquired Scope AR to add intelligent visual work instructions and remote expert capabilities targeting frontline industrial operations.

The company serves MROs, commercial airlines, aerospace and defense OEMs, and defense contractors globally, with named customers including Boeing, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, and Rolls-Royce and content reaching 150+ countries and 350M+ passengers annually. It monetizes through subscription-based SaaS contracts, quote-based annual enterprise engagements with modular editions, supported by a direct enterprise field sales motion and an annual user conference.

Flatirons operates from offices in the United States, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Norway, France, and India (Flatirons Solutions India Private Limited), holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, Cyber Essentials, UKAS, EcoVadis, and CMMC Level 2 certifications, and integrates with major ERP/PLM systems including SAP, IFS, and Siemens Teamcenter. The company is privately held by TELEO Capital Management and led by CEO Vincent Fauveau, CFO Steve Cameron, and CTO Rich Schafer.

Direct peers

• Rusada: Provider of ENVISION aviation MRO and technical records software used by airlines, MROs, and OEMs. Most directly comparable peer to Flatirons given its overlap in MRO technical content, work cards, and fleet management for aerospace operators.
• IFS: Enterprise software vendor with a deep aerospace & defense ERP/MRO suite (IFS Cloud) that competes with Flatirons on the ERP side of the integrated stack and serves many of the same airline, MRO, and defense customers.
• Ramco Systems: Aviation MRO and airline operations software vendor (Ramco Aviation) offering technical records, work cards, and maintenance management — directly comparable on the digital work card and MRO suite dimensions.
• Corena: Specialist in S1000D and ATA iSpec 2200 technical publications and lifecycle content management for aerospace and defense, competing head-on with Flatirons Knowledge Center/Studio in content authoring and publishing.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon (MSC Software / PPM): Large PLM, CAD, and asset lifecycle software incumbent with aerospace content and engineering documentation tools; overlaps with Flatirons on the OEM technical documentation and PLM integration side.
• Siemens Digital Industries Software (Teamcenter): Provider of Teamcenter PLM and a broad enterprise software portfolio for aerospace and defense OEMs. Already integrated with Flatirons (S1000D objects update on Teamcenter changes), making it both a partner and a structural competitive risk.
• PTC: PLM and digital thread software vendor (Windchill, Creo, Vuforia) with Vuforia Chalk/Studio overlapping Scope AR's visual work instruction capability post-Flatirons' acquisition.

Regional players

• Jeppesen (a Boeing company): Aviation operations, navigation, and maintenance data provider that serves many of the same airlines and MROs; relevant adjacency on operational content, though focused more on flight ops than MRO technical publications.

Emerging players

• Adacel: Aviation software and air traffic management vendor; partial overlap in aviation operations tooling serving aerospace customers that Flatirons also targets.

Others

• Lufthansa Technik (AVIATAR): Major MRO services provider and operator of the AVIATAR digital platform; both a potential customer and an adjacent ecosystem participant with overlapping technical content and predictive maintenance capabilities.
