Company Overview

PHI, Inc. (PHI) had its beginning in February, 1949. With the emergence of the Offshore Oil and Gas industry, seismograph crews were battling their way through a foreboding stretch of Louisiana marsh and swamp land. PHI is one of the world's leading helicopter services companies, providing aviation services to the offshore oil, onshore mining, international, air medical, and technical services industries.

The Challenge

Petroleum Helicopters, Inc. (PHI) has selected JReport to provide reporting capabilities to their aviation ERP system. Located in Lafayette, Louisiana, PHI is one of the world's leading helicopter services companies, providing aviation services to the offshore oil, onshore mining, international, air medical, and technical services industries.

PHI needed to integrate a solution with their ERP system that could report on critical business functions like operations, materials handling, and parts replacement and installation. On the recommendation of their ERP vendor, PHI tested and selected JReport to provide a Web-based system that would help PHI comply with FAA regulations by tracking inventory, parts installed and removed, labor, and aircraft records.

JReport has helped PHI consolidate all of its total legacy reports into 50 reports that will be distributed via the Web in DHTML format. These reports are entirely actionable; end-users can dynamically sort, group, filter and search report data in real time, which eliminates the need to create a new report from scratch and gets users the information they want, when they want it.

JReport's on-demand information delivery capabilities have improved customer service by equipping employees with the knowledge they need to best respond to customer inquiries and needs, and PHI has noted that JReport's actionable reports enable faster decision making and have improved the overall flow of business communication across the entire enterprise.
