ProMRO Aviation Success Story with STS Aviation Group 

STS Aviation Group (STS) provides aircraft technician staffing services, engineering and DER (Designated Engineering Representatives) support service, aircraft component and supply chain management, and line maintenance services for on-the-ground aircraft. Since 1985 the company has more than quadrupled its size to $230 million in revenue with 500 employees. STS are leaders in the MRO industry because they automate business processes with solutions like ProMRO Aviation. ProMRO Aviation enables STS to meet the ever-increasing needs of the extremely complex aerospace industry. The company operates in the U.S., UK, Canada, Mexico, and Ireland with over 40 locations and continues to grow!

The Challenges

Lack of Integration – STS tried to use multiple applications to handle the various tasks that required manually typing information into each disconnected program. This duplicate data entry wasted time, added the element of human error and hurt overall productivity. Quotes were created in one system, inventory was housed in another, and timekeeping required a third system. There was also a 4th software solution for checking tools in and out. Reporting was a nightmare and required exporting and importing data into spreadsheets. 

The executive team knew they could be more efficient if all STS data were housed in one system. They set out to find a new solution, but the options were not a good fit, and other aviation-focused software was cost-prohibitive. 

Expensive Options – There are alternatives out there, but most large ERP packages are designed for airlines and not the MRO industry.

The Solution

Fortunately, Clients First has over 20 years of experience in the aviation industry and developed ProMRO which helps STS Aviation with their specific automation requirements. STS Aviation needed a central check-in system so mechanics and engineers could clock in the various tasks they worked on in a day, a process that needed to be connected to a specific project, plane type, and invoice. They needed a flexible system so mechanics could add information about non-routine items, and time spent could be allocated correctly to specific tasks. This is just one example of the many requirements addressed with the ProMRO Aviation solution integrated with Acumatica Cloud ERP. 

“Not only do those large packages run in the multi-millions, but they also take $2 million to $6 million to implement. Those airline applications typically only cover the front office,” says Rob Wire, Vice President of Information Technology, STS Aviation

Competitive Advantages for Future Growth

Shop Floor Efficiency with Kiosks and Barcodes – Mechanics and engineers became more efficient with ProMRO Aviation. The system reduced the number of trips walking back and forth from the shop to the planes. Mechanics, supervisors, and inspectors scan their badges at a Kiosk (or mobile app), automatically displaying tasks to complete, inspect and view upcoming projects. A notification is automatically sent to a supervisor when a repair item is complete. Once the supervisor notes it is correct, it automatically flows to the inspector and so on. Mechanics also use the Kiosk to check tools in and out and check a tool’s calibration. The system is integrated with Centrik for certification tracking. It takes preventative measures if, for example, a mechanic who only works on Boeing Co. planes has been accidentally assigned to an Airbus. Additionally, the system tracks parts used against inventory.

Scalability – Clients First is helping roll out ProMRO-integrated software for Aviation to additional locations. The following key benefits will enable future growth: 

Acquired all-in-one, tightly integrated ERP system Acumatica Cloud ERP combined with ProMRO Aviation with maintenance, repair, and overhaul aviation functionalityGained real-time reporting with customizable dashboards
Saved time, eliminated importing and exporting data
Gained customized project templates, eliminated manual, error-prone data entryGained critical business insight into billable hours and operations
Significantly streamlined operational processes with integrated MRO software

Our Clients First team of MRO experts will be at the PBExpo 2025 show to help you achieve optimal MRO efficiency in your business. Contact us to schedule a demo.

By

NANJING, China, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scage Future (“Scage Future” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SCAG), a provider of new energy and zero-emission heavy-duty commercial vehicles and e-fuel solutions, today announced the effective date and new CUSIP number for the previously announced change in the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”), from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to one (1) ordinary share to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to fifteen (15) ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). The ADS Ratio Change will be effective on October 27, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

For Scage Future’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-fifteen reverse ADS split. On the Effective Date, holders of ADSs will be entitled to receive one (1) new ADS for every fifteen (15) existing ADSs then held, and the exchange will occur automatically, with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by Citibank, N.A., as the depositary bank for the Company’s ADS program (the “Depositary Bank”). Holders of ADSs will not be required to take any action in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the Depositary Bank, and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the Depositary Bank.

The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on Scage Future’s underlying ordinary shares, and no ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Scage Future’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SCAG.” In connection with the ADS Ratio Change, the CUSIP number for the ADSs will change from 80590A105 to a new CUSIP number of 80590A204, effective as of the Effective Date.

As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be equal to or greater than fifteen times the ADS trading price before the change.
