Seabury Capital: Piloting Business Growth

Seabury Capital LLC is a New York-based firm operating a number of specialty finance, investment banking, technology and software companies with a core focus on financial services, aviation, aerospace and defense, maritime, financial services and technology. The software development arm of Seabury Capital, Seabury Solutions, displayed its prowess in building holistic solutions that eventually improve the financial performance of businesses. For instance, one major airline was struggling to get a newly-built flight profitability solution to run over mainframe computers and consumed three days of computing time. In 2005, at this same airline, Seabury Solutions implemented its new Airline Performance Analysis System (“APAS”) that consumed less than eight hours of processing time in the then modern architecture. This same processing for the same client is expected to move to two hours next month due to the continuous evolution and improvement of the product, leveraging the latest technology. APAS pulls information from the conventional ERP systems, analyzes operational and financial data, and produces detailed reports that help take insight-driven business decisions. “Our solution processes voluminous operations and expense information and helps them in planning flight routes and budget,” states John Luth, Founder, CEO & Chairman, Seabury Capital.

A theme to Seabury Capital’s development efforts is creating solutions that are scalable and easy to integrate. “Fixed price, ease of integration, low risk, readiness for integration with new systems, quickly adaptable to a broader role, these touchpoints underlie all of our products,” says Luth. The flexibility of the Seabury Solutions software was put to the test in each of three major US airlines mergers where the acquiring party was using APAS. In each case, Seabury Solution’s APAS system provided timely reporting across financials systems and 50+ legacy systems to provide comprehensive operational and profit reports with multiple modules reconciled to GAAP accounting.

In addition to APAS, Seabury Solutions provides Maintenance Performance Analysis Systems (“MPAS”) to businesses beyond the airline industry that have a significant manufacturing activity. For managing the distribution and sales channels, there is Revenue Performance Analysis System (“RPAS”) which calculates an accurate cost of sales to view net revenue.
