Archive and retrieve certificates

Certificates are the evidence layer of the whole system. Accepting them correctly, filing them findably and retaining them lawfully is daily work — retrieval on demand is the test.

The work behind it

Every completed training produces a certificate that has to be checked in detail — name, date of birth, exact course title — because a wrong detail makes it worthless as evidence. Then filed so it can be produced within 24 hours, retained for the required years, and deleted when the retention ends.

It's exacting, high-volume routine — precisely the work where manual handling produces the misfiled document that surfaces at the worst moment.

Where it eats time today

Detail-checking by eye

Hundreds of documents, each needing per-field verification against the participant.

Filing discipline as the system

Folder trees only work until one busy afternoon.

Retention tracked nowhere

Keeping records long enough — and not longer — needs rules, not memory.

How it works in cimoio.aero

  1. One intake, automated matching

    All certificates land in the central intake; the system reads them, matches person, training and qualification, and files them at the right place — asking for a human check where confidence is low.

  2. Retrieval in seconds, in context

    Every certificate is reachable from what it proves: from the person, the qualification, the authorization. The 24-hour window becomes a one-click answer — including exports for the auditor.

  3. Retention and deletion run on rules

    Retention periods follow policy — best-practice presets aligned with GDPR and EASA record-keeping (3–5 years), every period configurable. Expired records are deleted on schedule, documented.
