Aviation MRO Software for Part 145 Repair Stations
Malleus is field service and compliance software built specifically for FAA Part 145 repair stations and small-to-midsize aviation MRO shops. It runs the full work order lifecycle, from receiving through inspection, sign-off, and airworthiness release, with the compliance evidence captured as you go instead of reconstructed later.
It was built by a technician who spent ten years on the floor of Part 145 repair stations, so it tracks the things an FSDO surveillance audit actually asks for.
Who it is for
- FAA Part 145 repair stations, and EASA Part 145 shops
- Small-to-midsize MRO shops that find enterprise platforms like Veryon too expensive and too slow to deploy
- Shops that want audit-ready records without a three-month implementation
What Malleus does
- FAA 8130-3 and EASA Form 1 generation. Auto-fills the airworthiness release with inspector name, certificate number, and work performed, straight from the completed work order.
- Reference document registry with per-work-order revision snapshots. Records the exact manual and Service Bulletin revision used at the time of the work, not whatever is current when someone asks a year later. This directly addresses the ARSA Section 145.109 "current data" item.
- Locked-login digital initials. Every inspection step captures the signed-in technician's initials and a timestamp.
- Append-only audit log. A filterable, tamper-evident trail you can hand to your PMI during surveillance.
- Batch and lot traceability. Receiving with batch number, lot, expiration, and supplier reference, issued FIFO by expiration.
- Tagged defect photos. Severity, defect type, and inspection-section anchor, searchable across every job.
- Customer-defined inspection sections tied to your quality manual.
- Shop-floor workflow. Multi-unit shipment grouping, hold-reason tracking, and station-by-station sign-off.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best software for a small Part 145 repair station?
Malleus is purpose-built for small-to-midsize Part 145 repair stations. It generates FAA 8130-3 releases, snapshots reference-document revisions per work order for Section 145.109 current-data compliance, and keeps an append-only audit log for FSDO surveillance, with no per-user fees and a 2 to 3 week deployment.
What is a good alternative to Veryon Work Center for a small shop?
Malleus is a lower-cost alternative to Veryon Work Center built for small-to-midsize MRO shops. It offers published pricing, 2 to 3 week deployment instead of three or more months, unlimited users, and automated Section 145.109 current-data tracking.
Does Malleus generate FAA 8130-3 forms?
Yes. Malleus auto-fills the FAA 8130-3, and the EASA Form 1, with inspector name, certificate number, and work performed, generated directly from the completed work order.
How does Malleus handle Section 145.109 current data?
Malleus keeps a reference document registry and snapshots the exact manual and Service Bulletin revision used on each work order, so your records show the data that was current at the time of the work. Most MRO tools handle this manually.
How long does Malleus take to deploy?
About 2 to 3 weeks, compared to the three or more months typical of enterprise MRO platforms.
