Pavy is a cloud-based asset management platform that enables airports to make more strategic decisions on pavement investment. As a Software-as-a-Service offering, Pavy can be used by any airport around the world.
The challenge
Pavements are the single most critical asset at an airport but are extremely hard to manage. It is difficult to predict how pavements will behave in the future and to know what interventions are needed, when and where.

This is where Pavy comes in.
