Does ProAlert certify us to ISO 55001?

No. Certification is granted by an accredited certification body after an audit. ProAlert provides the management system, the document lifecycle and the evidence trail the standard requires, which is what an organization needs in order to be auditable. A certification roadmap feature tracks progress toward the audit.

We are not in aviation. Is the Airworthiness Directive module relevant?

Not directly, but it is worth knowing about. An FAA Airworthiness Directive is a legally enforceable regulation with mandatory documented compliance. That the compliance framework handles a regime of that weight says something about how real it is, rather than it being internal policy tracking with a certificate on the wall.

Is ISO 55001 included or licensed separately?

It is a separately licensed module with per-seat entitlement, in the same way as CMMS and EdgeSense. Trial windows are supported.

ISO 55001 Asset Management and Regulatory Compliance Software

Q: Why does it matter that this is in the same system as the work orders?

An ISO 55001 auditor asks whether the asset management plan is actually being executed. In most organizations the plan lives in a document management system and the evidence lives in a CMMS, so connecting them is a manual exercise every audit cycle. In ProAlert the plan and the evidence are the same database.

The bottom line: Most platforms that compete with ProAlert on maintenance or OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) do not go near formal asset management standards or aviation regulatory compliance. If you are evaluating ProAlert against a standalone CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), this is one of the clearest differences on the table.

ISO 55001 Asset Management

ISO 55001 (Section 55001, the international standard for asset management systems) governs how an organization decides what its assets are for, how it plans their lifecycle, and how it demonstrates that the plan is being followed. ProAlert includes a complete module covering the document hierarchy the standard expects:

Element	What it is
Asset Management Policy	The organization's top-level statement of intent for its assets
SAMP	Strategic Asset Management Plan, translating organizational objectives into asset objectives
AMPs	Asset Management Plans, the operational plans for asset groups
Objectives	Measurable asset management objectives, with tracking against them
Internal Audits	The audit programme, its findings, and closure of each
Management Reviews	The formal review cycle the standard requires
Certification Roadmaps	Progress tracking toward certification
PDCA Workflow	A Plan-Do-Check-Act view of how the elements connect

Each element carries its own lifecycle with draft, review and approval states, so a certification auditor can see not just the current document but how it got there.

Why it matters that this sits with the work orders. An auditor's real question is whether the plan is being executed. In most organizations the plan lives in a document management system and the evidence lives in a CMMS, and connecting the two is a manual exercise repeated every audit cycle. Here the plan and the evidence are the same database, so the link is a query rather than a project.

FAA Airworthiness Directives

An Airworthiness Directive is a legally enforceable regulation issued by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) to correct an unsafe condition in an aircraft, engine, propeller or appliance. Compliance is mandatory and must be documented.

Directive Records

The directives themselves, held as records rather than as attachments somebody has to open and read to know what applies.

Applicability to Specific Assets

Which of your assets a given directive actually reaches, so the question "does this apply to us" has a stored answer.

Compliance Status

Where each applicable directive stands, tracked per asset rather than as a single fleet-level assertion.

Compliance Dashboard

A fleet-wide view of where compliance stands, which is the screen a regulator's question is answered from.

This puts ProAlert into regulated aviation maintenance, a materially different market from discrete manufacturing, and a strong signal of how far the platform has moved beyond its shop-floor origins.

Asset Financial Lifecycle

Depreciation and Financial Records

Asset financial records with depreciation held against the same asset the work orders and downtime are held against, so cost of ownership and cost of failure are not two different asset lists.

Transfers Between Legal Entities

Assets move between corporate entities with the audit trail that implies. A group operating several entities can keep ownership straight without maintaining a spreadsheet alongside the register.

Legal Entity Master Data

The entities themselves as first-class records, which is what makes an inter-entity transfer a transaction rather than an edit.

Asset Profitability Analysis

Connects an asset's cost of ownership to what it actually produced. Also surfaced on the executive dashboard.

Standards Support Elsewhere in the Platform

ProAlert's alignment to standards is not confined to this discipline:

Standard	Where it shows up
ISO 14224 (Equipment Reliability Data)	Failure mode, cause, mechanism and consequence taxonomies in maintenance
ISO 9001 (Quality Management Systems)	Nonconformance register, corrective action, document control and change requests in quality and document control
FDA 21 CFR Part 11 (Electronic Records and Signatures)	Electronic records and signatures, login audit log, and password policy enforcement

Who Uses It

Role	What they do here
Asset Manager / Reliability	SAMP, asset management plans, objectives, criticality
Compliance Officer	Internal audits, management reviews, certification roadmap
Aviation Maintenance	Airworthiness Directive compliance and the fleet dashboard
Controller / Finance	Depreciation, asset transfers, profitability
External Auditor	The evidence trail linking plan to execution, on a read-only login

Common Questions

Question	Answer
Are you saying ProAlert certifies us to ISO 55001?	No. Certification is granted by an accredited certification body after an audit. ProAlert provides the management system, the document lifecycle and the evidence trail the standard requires, which is what an organization needs in order to be auditable. The roadmap feature tracks progress toward certification.
We are not in aviation. Is the AD module relevant?	Not directly, but it is worth knowing about. It demonstrates that the compliance framework in the platform is real enough to handle a legally mandated regulatory regime, not just internal policy.
Is this included or licensed separately?	ISO 55001 is a separately licensed module with per-seat entitlement, like CMMS and EdgeSense. Trial windows are supported.
