CEL Aerospace Reaches New Heights with Genius ERP

When you ask CEL Aerospace why they chose Genius ERP, their answer comes down to one thing: fit.

“We chose Genius ERP for its ability to support our project-based (engineering-to-order) business model. It gives us strong production tracking built on industry best practices, while still offering the flexibility we need for a company of our size.”

That balance of structure and flexibility was key for CEL Aerospace — a Quebec-based manufacturer that has become a global leader in designing and building test equipment for aircraft engines.

A Quebec Success Story with a Global Reach

With more than 37 years of experience, CEL Aerospace has designed and delivered over 1,500 test cells and a range of specialized equipment to customers worldwide, in both civil and military sectors. CEL has offices and facilities in Canada, the U.S., Asia, and Poland, and its 125-person team serves more than 100 active clients across 25+ countries — a true Quebec success story making its mark on the global stage.

CEL’s integrated “turnkey project” approach covers everything from equipment and data acquisition software design to assembly, installation, and commissioning at customer sites. It’s a complex operation that demands precision, coordination, and real-time visibility — the exact challenges Genius ERP was built to solve.

Building a Strong Partnership

After a rigorous review of ERP solutions, CEL Aerospace selected Genius ERP more than three years ago. The goal was clear: implement a system that could bring greater control, visibility, and efficiency to their entire operation.

Working closely with Genius, CEL successfully completed their ERP implementation in just 13 months — all while building a brand-new headquarters. The process required careful planning, collaboration, and a shared commitment to getting things right.

“The success of the project largely stems from the creation of a dedicated team at CEL, who effectively led the system implementation and secured the engagement of everyone involved.”

A Foundation for Continued Growth

The partnership between CEL Aerospace and Genius ERP has been defined by collaboration and clear communication.

Both teams regard the project as a success achieved through teamwork and a shared commitment to excellence, setting the stage for continued collaboration in the years ahead.
