What Soma Software does

Soma Software is a private aviation software company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Pinecrest, Florida, that builds cloud-based maintenance and operations software for airlines, MRO organizations, and other aviation operators. The platform integrates aircraft maintenance management, flight operations, purchasing and inventory, document management, and MRO workflows into a unified aviation ERP, with mobile extensions delivered through the SOMA Production App and ControlHUB App for hangar and ramp data capture. The technology stack includes AI-powered predictive analytics that leverage IoT sensor inputs and historical maintenance records (batch numbers, installation dates, repair logs) to forecast part longevity and auto-schedule inspections, AES-256/TLS 1.3 security, offline data capture with automatic synchronization, and API integrations with SAP Business One, Oracle NetSuite, and QuickBooks. The product supports FAA, EASA, and Transport Canada regulatory frameworks with automated compliance tracking and audit-ready documentation, validated by a 2019 government recognition from the Aruba Civil Aviation Department.

Soma Software generates revenue through four streams: SaaS platform subscriptions for the core aviation maintenance and operations modules, consulting and engineering services delivered by in-house aeronautical engineers, implementation and data migration services, and custom aerospace software development. The company employs 11-50 staff, operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise field sales with a self-serve free trial, and distributes through aviation industry events such as NBAA and PB Expo. Its customer base spans 500+ aviation projects across regional airlines, cargo carriers, charter operators, medical transport, flight schools, MROs, and government/military aviation, with named clients including MasAir, Aruba Airlines, LANHSA, ATSA Airlines, Air Century, TAG Airlines, and MRO Iberoamérica. Geographic focus is the Americas, with active presence in the USA, Colombia, Mexico, Aruba, the Dominican Republic, and broader Caribbean and LATAM markets. The company is founder/management-owned under CEO Ricardo Arcia, with no disclosed external institutional investment.
