Synthesis® Tool Suite

Requirements and Regulatory Compliance Tool

Synthesis® is a purpose-built, web-based software tool, developed specifically for the aerospace certification space. Synthesis® manages the complete end-to-end lifecycle process and provides a secure environment to plan, manage and optimize the execution of complex programs that require the definition, collection, configuration management, and presentation of artefacts. Synthesis® is the perfect tool when you are required to demonstrate compliance with rigorous, externally mandated processes, standards, and regulations, and need complete visibility & traceability on how these meet the requirements. Synthesis® saves customers time and money on compliance programs by optimizing program management tasks. It provides:

  • Real-time and detailed program visibility – at all levels
  • Company-specific framework, reporting, compliance matrix, and other programs
  • Automated import of regulations, standards, etc.
  • Risk reduction, Management, Authorization
  • Integrated supply chain artefacts
  • Future program requirements and associated compliance evidence reuse
