About Us
We understand that our most valuable asset is our people
FlightDataPeople (FDP) first started as a Flight Data Monitoring (FDM) Service to British Airways and other airlines using BAFDA (British Airways Flight Data Analysis). The team has extensive safety management, operational, engineering, maintenance and IT experience within airlines.
In 2013 they expanded their product and services to include SMS software and are the first and currently only software provider to produce FDM and SMS solutions. We believe that our most valuable asset is our People and this is why we have it in our company name. We also understand that your people are the most important asset in your organisation and we never forget that they are the most important requirement in everything we do.
“Simple” and “Effective” are not mutually exclusive as some software suppliers would have you believe. The reality is an easy to use tool will be more effective than an overly complex one because people will use it more. SMS software developers often forget that the liveware (people) is more important in safety management than the hardware and software requirements. At FDP we understand this and our intuitive and simple workflow can help to promote a more effective safety culture throughout the organisation allowing a more holistic and proactive approach to safety management and flight data monitoring.
