HCLTech has announced a strategic collaboration with Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited (HAESL) to modernise and transform its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations. As part of the partnership, HCLTech will deploy its advanced iMRO/4 asset management solution, fully integrated with SAP S/4HANA, to serve as HAESL’s Maintenance Execution System (MES) at its Hong Kong facility.
The digital transformation initiative is aimed at streamlining HAESL’s engine MRO processes while improving operational efficiency and scalability. With the implementation of iMRO/4 integrated with SAP S/4HANA, HAESL will gain real-time data visibility across its maintenance workflows. This will support faster and more informed decision-making, better resource utilisation, and stronger compliance with global aviation standards.
The new MES platform will provide end-to-end traceability throughout the entire maintenance cycle, from engine induction to final release. By offering a single, unified view of workflows, the solution is expected to reduce operational barriers, improve execution efficiency, and enhance transparency for customers who rely on consistent quality and predictable turnaround times during every shop visit.
Commenting on the collaboration, Ravinder Bedi, General Manager of Finance & Administration at HAESL, said that integrating iMRO/4 with SAP S/4HANA will significantly enhance traceability and operational control. He noted that partnering with HCLTech represents a major milestone in HAESL’s digital transformation journey, helping build a scalable digital foundation that supports long-term growth and operational excellence.
From HCLTech’s perspective, the partnership reinforces its position as a key digital transformation partner for the global aviation industry. Sandeep Sarkar, Senior Vice President, ASEAN, HCLTech, stated that the collaboration sets a new benchmark for digital excellence in aviation. By combining HCLTech’s deep aviation domain expertise with HAESL’s world-class engine maintenance capabilities, the partnership aims to deliver real-time operational visibility and drive higher efficiency across engine MRO operations.
