Comply365 provides a mission-critical, mobile-first content management software platform that initially transformed the aviation industry with the electronic flight bag, software that provides pilots access to the most up-to date and compliant manuals and notifications electronically. Today, the company has expanded the solution to enable mobile-first content management throughout the airline including flight operations, flight services, maintenance and other divisions. Comply365 continues to drive the next wave of digital disruption in the aviation industry with innovative, high-value communication and content solutions, such as Mobile Maintenance Manuals, Digital Briefing and ProChat.

Luminate Capital is an ideal partner to fuel our growth strategy and help us deliver even more value to existing clients as well as to the broader aviation ecosystem," said Kerry Frank, CEO of Comply365.

Comply365's solutions enable airline employees to access mobile manuals, complete checklists, review digital flight plans, complete training and stay in compliance in a highly-regulated environment in real-time on any device. Over 75% of North American airlines, including the largest airlines, low cost carriers such as Spirit Airlines, as well as regional and cargo carriers, rely on Comply365 solutions daily to support operations, and Comply365 plans to double its international footprint this year. Over 525,000 users including pilots, cabin crews, maintenance technicians, vendors and contractors use Comply365's mobile productivity, training and safety solutions to get the content they need at their fingertips.
