Continuum CMP runs the shop floor. FileFlo holds the PMI binder.
This isn't FileFlo versus Continuum. Continuum / CAMP CMP is the enterprise maintenance, parts, and accounting platform that runs your Part 145 shop floor every hour: work orders, technician labor, parts inventory, AD library, and QuickBooks or NetSuite GL. FileFlo is a different layer: the compliance document evidence binder the FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector pulls during surveillance under FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6, holding the §145.211 QCM, the §145.219 retention file, the signed §43.9 / §43.7 / §43.13 evidence, and the §91.417 / §135.63 customer-aircraft file. Keep the shop-floor system. Add the audit binder.
$299/mo flat · Unlimited tails + technicians · No data migration
One runs the shop floor. One holds the proof.
Continuum CMP runs the enterprise
It dispatches work orders, captures technician labor, manages the parts catalog and vendor POs, cross-references the AD library, and posts customer invoices to QuickBooks or NetSuite. It is genuinely the right tool for the daily shop-floor workflow; keep using it. Continuum was built to run the maintenance enterprise, not to be the signed regulatory archive the FAA PMI pulls under 8900.1 Volume 6.
FileFlo is the PMI evidence binder
It holds the §145.211 QCM with version history and FAA-acknowledgment correspondence, the §145.219 retention file per work-order and per customer tail, the signed §43.9 entries with the §43.7 RTS sign-offs and §43.13 acceptable-data evidence, the Form 8130-3 attachments, and the §91.417 / §135.63 customer-aircraft file, assembled into a one-click 8900.1 Volume 6 surveillance binder. The layer Continuum was never designed to be, and FileFlo is decoupled from any future Continuum migration decision.
Where each tool actually wins.
For most Part 145 / Part 135 operators on Continuum / CAMP CMP the answer is both: keep Continuum CMP for the enterprise maintenance + parts + accounting workflow that runs the shop floor daily; add FileFlo at $299/mo for the compliance document evidence layer the FAA PMI pulls. The two are complements: Continuum shows the work-order data, FileFlo holds the signed §43.9 entries and §145.219 retention binder behind them.

Where each tool sits inside §145.211, §145.219, §43.9, §43.13, and §91.417.
The Part 145 + Part 135 + Part 91 maintenance recordkeeping regulations map cleanly onto the right operating model. Here is the breakdown.
14 CFR §145.211: Quality Control Manual (QCM)
§145.211 requires every Part 145 certificated repair station to prepare, keep current, and follow a Quality Control Manual (QCM) acceptable to the FAA Administrator. The QCM must contain the procedures for performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations on articles for which the repair station is rated; the §145.213 inspection of maintenance procedures; the §145.215 capability list amendment procedures; the §145.217 contract maintenance procedures; the §145.219 recordkeeping procedures; the §145.221 SDR procedures; the §145.205(b) compliance with §43.13 procedures; the system of supervision and the system for ensuring the competency of personnel under §145.155; the procedures for revising the QCM whenever any procedure changes; and the procedures for ensuring the QCM is made available to all personnel performing maintenance under the repair station certificate. FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6 governs PMI surveillance of Part 145 QCM compliance. Continuum CMP holds the work-order data and the technician labor data; it does not hold the §145.211 QCM document itself, it does not version-track QCM revisions, and it does not hold the FAA-acknowledgment correspondence chain. FileFlo wins here cleanly for §145.211: holds the QCM file with full version history, AI-classifies every revision against the referenced cross-procedures, links FAA acknowledgments to the revision chain, and produces the §145.211 PMI-surveillance-ready binder in one click.
14 CFR §145.219: Recordkeeping
§145.219 requires every Part 145 repair station to keep all maintenance records (including the §43.9 entries, the §43.7 RTS sign-offs, the work order documentation, the inspector certifications, the Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificates for components, the customer aircraft tail-specific retention records, and the SDRs filed under §145.221) for at least 2 years from the date the article was approved for return to service, and to make those records available to the Administrator on request. The §145.219 retention file must be organized to support PMI surveillance under FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6, meaning the inspector can pull every work-order completed on a specific customer aircraft tail across the 2-year retention window with the signed §43.9 entries, the §43.7 RTS sign-offs, the §43.13 acceptable-data evidence, and the Form 8130-3 attachments reconciled. Continuum CMP holds the work-order completion data and the technician labor: that is the enterprise-database surface the DOM uses for shop capacity. Continuum CMP does NOT hold the §145.219 retention file structure organized per work-order + per customer tail with the signed attachments reconciled. FileFlo wins here for §145.219: holds the §145.219 retention binder organized per work-order + per customer tail, AI-classifies every signed attachment to the work-order, and produces the one-click §145.219 PMI binder.
14 CFR §43.9: Maintenance Records
§43.9 requires every person performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration on an aircraft, airframe, engine, propeller, or component to make an entry in the maintenance record of the work performed: a description of the work, the date the work was completed, the name of the person performing the work, and (if the work was performed satisfactorily) the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work for return to service (§43.7 RTS sign-off). The §43.9 entry must reference the methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator. The signed §43.9 entry is the document evidence the PMI pulls during Part 145 surveillance (and the POI pulls during Part 135 surveillance for the contract maintenance arrangement under §135.411 + §135.443). Continuum CMP records the work-order completion date and the technician labor; it does NOT hold the signed §43.9 entry with the inspector’s certificate number, the §43.7 RTS sign-off, or the §145.219 retention file cross-reference. FileFlo wins here for §43.9 evidence: holds the signed §43.9 entries reconciled to the Continuum-supplied work-order data, holds the §43.7 RTS sign-off and inspector signature, and produces the one-click §43.9 binder.
14 CFR §43.13: Performance Rules (General)
§43.13 requires every person performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration on an aircraft, airframe, engine, propeller, or component to use the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the current manufacturer’s maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) prepared by its manufacturer, or other methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator. The §43.13 acceptable-data evidence is the binding link between the work performed and the OEM-published source for that work, and the PMI pulls the §43.13 evidence to verify that the specific revision and date of the OEM manual cited on every job was the current-revision source at the time the work was performed. Continuum CMP holds the OEM maintenance publications library in its enterprise maintenance publications module: that is the upstream tech-pub source the technician references. Continuum CMP does NOT hold the §43.13 compliance evidence record citing the specific OEM manual revision and date used on each signed §43.9 entry: that record links the §43.9 entry, the §43.7 RTS sign-off, and the §145.219 retention file together for the PMI. FileFlo wins here for §43.13 evidence: holds the §43.13 acceptable-data compliance evidence citing the Continuum-supplied OEM manual revision and date, cross-references every §43.13 evidence record to the signed §43.9 entry, and produces the one-click §43.13 binder.
14 CFR §91.417: Maintenance Records (Customer Aircraft Side)
§91.417 separately requires every owner or operator of a Part 91-operated aircraft to keep records containing the total time in service of the airframe, each engine, each propeller, and each rotor; the current status of life-limited parts; the time since last overhaul of items required to be overhauled on a specified time basis; the current inspection status of the aircraft (including the §91.409 annual + 100-hour inspections); the current status of applicable airworthiness directives (Part 39) including the method of compliance, the AD number, the revision date if applicable, and the signature of the person performing the work; and the records of each major alteration to the airframe and currently installed engines, propellers, and appliances. The §91.417 retention file lives with the customer aircraft, but the Part 145 repair station that performs the work must produce the §43.9 + §43.7 + §43.13 evidence the customer’s §91.417 file references. For Part 135 customer aircraft, §135.63 imposes a parallel recordkeeping obligation on the certificate holder. Continuum CMP holds the work-order data; it does NOT hold the §91.417 retention file structure organized per customer tail with the signed §43.9 + §43.7 + §43.13 + Part 39 attachments reconciled. FileFlo wins here for §91.417 / §135.63 evidence: holds the §91.417 (Part 91) or §135.63 (Part 135) customer-aircraft retention file per tail, cross-references every signed §43.9 entry + §43.7 RTS sign-off + Part 39 AD evidence to the customer-tail retention file, and produces the one-click §91.417 / §135.63 PMI / POI surveillance binder. Civil-penalty exposure under 49 U.S.C. § 46301 runs up to $37,377 per violation per day for 2026: a Part 145 surveillance event with §145.211 + §145.219 + §43.9 + §43.13 + §91.417 finding compound can escalate to a six-figure civil penalty exposure for the certificated repair station.
One flat price vs. custom enterprise quote.
FileFlo is one flat price for the compliance document evidence layer regardless of shop scope or fleet size. Continuum / CAMP CMP prices on a custom enterprise quote model tiered by shop scope, work-order volume, parts inventory, technician seats, fleet scope, and accounting integration. The math escalates with every additional capability rating, technician seat, and multi-year contract escalator.
* Pricing range based on public sources and operator reports across Continuum / CAMP CMP enterprise installations. Continuum does not publish pricing; contact Continuum Applied Technology for an exact quote based on shop scope, work-order volume, technician seats, accounting integration tier, and contract term.
The pricing comparison is not apples-to-apples. Continuum / CAMP CMP is the enterprise maintenance + parts + accounting platform of record; FileFlo is the compliance document evidence binder. The right operating model is “Continuum CMP for the enterprise maintenance workflow + FileFlo at $299/mo for the §145.211 / §145.219 / §43.9 / §43.13 / §91.417 audit binder”, and FileFlo decouples the compliance layer from any future Continuum maintenance-platform migration decision.
Platform definition.
FileFlo is a compliance document intelligence platform for aviation maintenance. It is not an enterprise maintenance, parts, or accounting system. Instead, it ingests the signed compliance documents a Part 145 repair station or Part 135 air carrier must be able to produce on demand: the §145.211 Quality Control Manual with revision history and FAA-acknowledgment correspondence, the signed §43.9 maintenance entries with inspector certificate numbers, the §43.7 return-to-service sign-offs, the §43.13 acceptable-data evidence citing the OEM manual revision used, the §145.219 retention records, the Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificates, the Part 39 Airworthiness Directive compliance evidence, the §145.221 Service Difficulty Reports, and the §91.417 (Part 91) or §135.63 (Part 135) customer-aircraft retention file. It classifies each against its governing regulation, reconciles it to the underlying work-order data, and produces the one-click FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector surveillance binder organized to FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6.
The distinction matters because Continuum / CAMP CMP is an enterprise maintenance management platform: it is optimized for work-order dispatch, technician labor capture, parts inventory, vendor purchase orders, and accounting GL integration, not for being the signed regulatory archive a PMI pulls. Continuum can tell you a work order completed and what labor and parts it consumed; it does not hold the §145.211 QCM document, version-track its revisions, hold the signed §43.9 entry and §43.7 sign-off, store the §43.13 acceptable-data evidence record, or structure the §145.219 retention file per work-order and per customer tail. FileFlo adds that compliance-evidence layer without disturbing the shop-floor enterprise beneath it, and because FileFlo holds the §145.211 QCM and §145.219 retention file regardless of which work-order system runs underneath, it decouples the compliance binder from any future Continuum maintenance-platform migration decision.
Why an enterprise maintenance system isn't a compliance archive.
FAA Part 145 surveillance rules do not ask whether a work order was completed; they ask whether the signed record exists, cites the right acceptable data, and can be produced on demand. Under 14 CFR §145.211, a certificated repair station must prepare, keep current, and follow a Quality Control Manual acceptable to the Administrator, and a Principal Maintenance Inspector conducting surveillance under FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6 will pull the current-revision QCM with its revision history and FAA-acknowledgment correspondence. Under 14 CFR §145.219, the station must retain all maintenance records (the §43.9 entries, the §43.7 return-to-service sign-offs, the Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificates, and the SDRs) for at least two years from return to service and make them available on request. Under 14 CFR §43.9 and §43.13, every entry must carry the inspector's signature and certificate number and cite the specific OEM manual revision and date used. An enterprise maintenance platform can dispatch every work order and track every labor hour and still leave the repair station exposed, because work-order software has no concept of "the signed binder the PMI will pull per CFR section."
This is the gap FileFlo closes. Rather than ask a repair station to abandon the enterprise maintenance system that runs its shop floor (a migration that can run six figures and stall for years), FileFlo accepts the work-order data and uploaded signed records and applies a regulation-specific rule pack to them. Each document is mapped to the CFR section it satisfies, reconciled to the underlying Continuum work-order, and surfaced when the required-record checklist for a Part 145 surveillance event flags anything missing: the QCM revision, the signed §43.9 entry, the §43.13 evidence, the Form 8130-3 attachment, or the §91.417 / §135.63 customer-aircraft file. When the PMI arrives, the binder is assembled per the 8900.1 Volume 6 inspector checklist, in the format the agency expects. Civil-penalty exposure under 49 U.S.C. § 46301 reaches up to $37,377 per violation per day for 2026, so a compounded §145.211 / §145.219 / §43.9 / §43.13 / §91.417 finding can escalate quickly for the certificated station.
The practical result is that a repair station keeps a single enterprise maintenance system (Continuum / CAMP CMP) while gaining the QCM version control, signed-record reconciliation, retention-file structure, and one-click PMI-binder capabilities that a maintenance-management platform does not provide. FileFlo is the compliance evidence layer; Continuum remains the system that runs the shop floor and the back office.
Built by an operator, against the rules themselves.
Chad Griffith, Founder & CEO of FileFlo, built FileFlo's rule packs against the actual surveyor, inspector, and investigator protocols, not against a generic "compliance" abstraction. Each regulator's taxonomy maps documents to the exact CFR section that demands them, which is why FileFlo can sit alongside an enterprise maintenance platform like Continuum / CAMP CMP and still speak the language an FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector uses under 8900.1 Volume 6. FileFlo is built to complement the systems you already run: it holds the signed document evidence and never becomes another place your team has to dispatch work orders, manage parts, or post the GL.
Quick answers.

What is Continuum Applied Technology, and where does it sit in the aviation compliance software landscape in 2026?
Continuum Applied Technology is the legacy enterprise maintenance + parts management + accounting integration platform best known to the aviation market for its CAMP CMP product line (Continuum Maintenance Program, historically deployed at Part 145 repair stations and Part 135 air carriers with significant maintenance volume). Following the 2022-2024 enterprise aviation consolidation wave that included CAMP Systems combining with Veryon (formerly Flightdocs / Traxxall), the Continuum / CAMP CMP customer base now sits in a specific post-merger niche: established Part 145 repair stations and Part 135 air carriers with multi-year enterprise installations of Continuum CMP for work-order management, parts inventory, AD compliance tracking, labor + cost accounting, and ERP-style integration to QuickBooks Enterprise or NetSuite. Continuum CMP is the enterprise maintenance management platform: work orders, parts inventory, technician labor tracking, vendor purchase orders, AD library, and the §43.13 acceptable-data integration to the OEM manual library. Continuum competes against CAMP Systems (the merged Veryon CMS product line), Veryon Tracking (formerly Flightdocs), Avantext eDoc, and the enterprise ERP-with-aviation-module category. Continuum / CAMP CMP is the maintenance + parts + accounting enterprise of record; FileFlo is the compliance document evidence layer that holds the signed §145.211 quality control manual file, the §145.219 maintenance recordkeeping binder, the signed §43.9 maintenance entries reconciled to the §43.7 RTS sign-offs, the §43.13 performance-rules compliance evidence citing the Continuum-supplied manual revision, the §91.417 retention file (for Part 91 customer aircraft) or §135.63 recordkeeping file (for Part 135 customer aircraft), and produces the one-click FAA Principal Maintenance Inspector (PMI) surveillance binder organized to FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6 (Part 145) inspector checklists.
How much does Continuum / CAMP CMP cost vs FileFlo?
Continuum Applied Technology / CAMP CMP prices on a custom enterprise quote model: Continuum does not publish pricing tiers, and every quote is sales-led based on the customer's shop scope (Part 145 repair station ratings + capability listing under §145.59 + §145.61), work-order volume (annual maintenance events tracked), parts inventory size (line items in the parts catalog), technician seat count (mechanic + inspector + work-order-administrator users), aircraft fleet scope (for Part 135 customers, number of tails + number of aircraft types), accounting integration tier (QuickBooks vs NetSuite vs custom ERP), and the multi-year contract term (typically 3-5 year enterprise agreements with annual escalators). Industry reporting and Part 145 customer disclosures suggest Continuum / CAMP CMP enterprise installations run roughly $10,000-$50,000 per year for established mid-size Part 145 shops and Part 135 operators: a small-to-mid Part 145 repair station with 10-25 mechanic seats and limited parts inventory at the lower end, scaling to a large multi-base Part 145 organization with 50+ technician seats, multi-thousand-line parts catalogs, and full NetSuite integration running multi-six-figure annual contracts on the upper end. The Continuum sales process includes a multi-week implementation engagement (data migration from legacy ERP, parts catalog import, work-order template configuration, accounting integration mapping) plus an annual professional services budget for ongoing customization. FileFlo is a flat $299 per month or $2,990 per year: unlimited aircraft tails, unlimited mechanic + inspector + DOM users, unlimited customers, all compliance features. The pricing comparison is NOT a substitution comparison. Continuum / CAMP CMP sells the enterprise maintenance + parts + accounting platform of record for the Part 145 shop floor; FileFlo sells the compliance document evidence binder the FAA PMI pulls during Part 145 surveillance. The right operating model for most Continuum-running Part 145 shops is keep Continuum / CAMP CMP for the work-order + parts + accounting workflow that runs the shop floor every day AND add FileFlo for the §145.211 QCM file, the signed §145.219 recordkeeping binder, the §43.9 + §43.7 + §43.13 evidence reconciled to the Continuum-supplied data, and the §91.417 / §135.63 customer-aircraft retention file. Verify Continuum / CAMP CMP pricing directly during the Continuum sales process; FileFlo pricing is locked at getfileflo.com/pricing.
Does FileFlo replace the enterprise maintenance + parts + accounting platform Continuum CMP provides?
No, and the post-Veryon-merger Continuum / CAMP CMP niche is exactly where this distinction matters most. Continuum / CAMP CMP is the enterprise maintenance management platform where the Part 145 director of maintenance (DOM), the chief inspector, the parts manager, and the accounting controller run the shop-floor + back-office workflow every day: work-order creation + dispatch + technician assignment + labor + cost capture + parts pull + vendor purchase order + AD library cross-reference + customer invoice + QuickBooks or NetSuite GL posting. That maintenance-enterprise workflow is the daily shop-floor surface: it runs every hour as work orders open and close, it integrates with the accounting system the controller closes the month against, and it is the single pane of glass the DOM uses to manage shop capacity, technician utilization, parts turn, and customer billing. FileFlo does NOT attempt to replace that workflow. FileFlo is the destination for the completed compliance documents Continuum CMP produces as a byproduct of the work-order workflow: the §145.211 Quality Control Manual file with FAA-acknowledgment correspondence and full revision history, the signed §43.9 maintenance entry with the inspector's certificate number, the §43.7 RTS sign-off, the §43.13 performance-rules compliance evidence citing the Continuum-supplied OEM manual revision and date, the §145.219 recordkeeping binder organized per work-order + per customer aircraft, the Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificate attachments for installed components, the Part 39 AD compliance evidence reconciled to the Continuum AD library output, and the §91.417 (Part 91 customer) or §135.63 (Part 135 customer) retention file per tail. The combined operating model is: Continuum / CAMP CMP for the enterprise maintenance + parts + accounting platform that runs the shop floor + back office daily + FileFlo for the §145.211 / §145.219 / §43.9 / §43.13 / §91.417 / §135.63 compliance document evidence binder the PMI pulls during surveillance.
Can FileFlo hold the 14 CFR §145.211 Quality Control Manual file the PMI pulls during Part 145 surveillance under FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6?
Yes, and this is FileFlo's strongest use case for Continuum / CAMP CMP-running Part 145 repair stations. 14 CFR §145.211 requires every Part 145 certificated repair station to prepare, keep current, and follow a Quality Control Manual (QCM) acceptable to the FAA Administrator. The QCM must contain the procedures for performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alterations on articles for which the repair station is rated; the §145.213 inspection of maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alterations performed; the §145.215 capability list amendment procedures; the §145.217 contract maintenance procedures (for work the repair station contracts to other Part 145 stations); the §145.219 recordkeeping procedures; the §145.221 Service Difficulty Report (SDR) procedures; the §145.223 FAA inspections + investigations cooperation procedures; the §145.205(b) compliance with §43.13 acceptable-data source procedures; the system of supervision and the system for ensuring the competency of personnel under §145.155; the procedures for revising the QCM whenever any procedure changes; and the procedures for ensuring the QCM is made available to all personnel performing maintenance under the repair station certificate. FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6 governs PMI surveillance of Part 145 QCM compliance plus operations specifications (OpSpecs) review. Continuum / CAMP CMP holds the work-order data, the parts inventory data, the labor + cost data, and the accounting integration: it does not hold the §145.211 QCM document itself, it does not version-track QCM revisions, and it does not hold the FAA-acknowledgment correspondence chain confirming the QCM revision is acceptable to the Administrator. The Part 145 repair station that walks into PMI surveillance with Continuum-supplied work-order data but cannot produce the current-revision §145.211 QCM with version history, revision dates, and FAA-acknowledged revision letters is the repair station that picks up a §145.211 finding (and in repeat-finding cases the §145.55 certificate enforcement action under 49 U.S.C. §44709). FileFlo holds the §145.211 QCM file, version-tracks every revision, holds the FAA-acknowledgment correspondence, and produces the FAA-ready §145.211 binder in one click, with the cross-references to §145.213 inspection procedures, §145.215 capability list procedures, §145.217 contract maintenance procedures, §145.219 recordkeeping procedures, §145.221 SDR procedures, and §43.13 acceptable-data source procedures readable to the PMI.
Does FileFlo hold the signed §145.219 + §43.9 + §43.13 maintenance evidence the PMI pulls during a Part 145 surveillance event, reconciled to the Continuum / CAMP CMP work-order data?
Yes, and this is where the Continuum + FileFlo pairing closes the most operational risk for the post-merger Continuum / CAMP CMP customer base. 14 CFR §145.219 requires every Part 145 repair station to keep all maintenance records (including the §43.9 entries, the §43.7 RTS sign-offs, the work order documentation, the inspector certifications, the Form 8130-3 Authorized Release Certificates for components, the customer aircraft tail-specific retention records, and the SDRs filed under §145.221) for at least 2 years from the date the article was approved for return to service, and to make those records available to the Administrator on request. 14 CFR §43.9 separately requires every person performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration to make an entry in the maintenance record describing the work, the date completed, the name of the person performing the work, and (if approved for return to service) the signature, certificate number, and kind of certificate held by the person approving the work. 14 CFR §43.13 separately requires every person performing maintenance, preventive maintenance, or alteration to use the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the current manufacturer's maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA), typically the OEM manual revision Continuum / CAMP CMP holds in its maintenance publications library. Continuum holds the work-order completion date and the technician labor data: that is the enterprise-database surface the DOM uses for shop capacity and the controller uses for customer billing. Continuum does NOT hold the signed §43.9 entry with the inspector's certificate number, the §43.7 RTS sign-off, the §43.13 acceptable-data compliance evidence citing the specific OEM manual revision and date used, the §145.219 retention file organized per work-order + per customer tail, the Form 8130-3 attachments for installed components, or the §145.221 SDR cross-reference. The signed records are the document evidence the PMI pulls during Part 145 surveillance. The Part 145 repair station that has the Continuum-supplied work-order data but cannot produce the signed §43.9 + §43.7 + §43.13 evidence reconciled to the §145.219 retention file is the station that picks up a §145.219 finding (and in repeat-finding cases the §145.211 / §145.213 enforcement action). FileFlo holds the §145.219 retention binder, the signed §43.9 + §43.7 entries, the §43.13 acceptable-data evidence with the Continuum-supplied OEM manual revision cited, the Form 8130-3 attachments, and the §91.417 / §135.63 customer-aircraft cross-reference, and produces the one-click PMI surveillance binder organized to the FAA Order 8900.1 Volume 6 inspector checklist.
How does Continuum / CAMP CMP's post-Veryon-merger position affect the Part 145 buyer decision in 2026, and where does FileFlo fit?
The 2022-2024 enterprise aviation maintenance software consolidation reshuffled the buyer landscape. CAMP Systems combined with Veryon (the parent company of Flightdocs and Traxxall) creating a single multi-product enterprise platform under the Veryon brand. Continuum Applied Technology remains a distinct company with its CMP product line, but a meaningful share of the legacy CAMP CMP installed base now sits in a defined niche: established Part 145 repair stations and Part 135 air carriers with multi-year Continuum CMP enterprise installations that pre-date the Veryon merger, that have heavy customization investment (accounting integration, parts catalog migration, work-order templates), and that face a strategic decision in 2026-2028 about whether to migrate to the merged Veryon platform, stay on Continuum CMP, or migrate to a different enterprise maintenance platform. The strategic decision is hard because Continuum CMP enterprise migration is multi-month and multi-six-figure: data migration alone can run $50K-$200K+ in professional services. Most Continuum customers in this niche will defer the maintenance-platform migration decision through 2027 or beyond while still facing every FAA PMI surveillance event in the interim. The §145.211 / §145.219 / §43.9 / §43.13 compliance evidence binder gap is the same regardless of which enterprise maintenance platform sits underneath. FileFlo solves the compliance evidence layer at $299/mo flat, independent of whether the customer ultimately stays on Continuum, migrates to the merged Veryon, or moves to a different enterprise platform. The Continuum / CAMP CMP customer who adds FileFlo is decoupling the compliance document evidence binder from the maintenance-platform migration decision: FileFlo holds the §145.211 QCM and §145.219 retention file regardless of which work-order system runs underneath. That decoupling is a meaningful risk-reduction position for the Continuum customer base that has not yet made a maintenance-platform migration decision.
