Executive summary
Transportation and airline systems rely on a mix of legacy transactions, partner messages, operational schedules, warehouse flows, maintenance systems, and revenue accounting. During disruption events, the hidden exception paths often matter most.
COBOLpro builds a source-backed operating brief so documentation teams can understand the dependencies behind reservations, routing, cargo, warehouse, maintenance, and settlement workflows.
Legacy systems in scope
The source estate to turn into an operating map.
Each row is structured for executive review: where the COBOL behavior sits, what it touches, and what the documentation must prove.
Reservations and customer operations
Legacy estate
Reservations, ticketing, refund, loyalty, customer service, GDS, airport, and partner systems
Documentation focus
Booking changes, exchanges, refunds, loyalty updates, disruptions, and customer communication
Routing, cargo, and warehouse
Legacy estate
Freight, cargo, routing, manifests, tariffs, WMS, EDI, customs, carrier, and shipment systems
Documentation focus
Load planning, shipment tracking, customs exchange, invoicing, settlement, and warehouse exceptions
MRO and asset operations
Legacy estate
Maintenance planning, parts, fleet, work orders, compliance records, asset availability, and revenue accounting
Documentation focus
Maintenance dependencies, parts availability, regulatory evidence, and close-of-day operations
Operational workflows
Business capabilities, not raw program lists.
COBOLpro groups source behavior around the operating workflows buyers need to preserve, explain, or replace.
01
Passenger and booking operations
- Booking, changes, ticketing, cancellations, and refunds
- Loyalty updates and customer-service exceptions
- Disruption handling and partner communication
02
Cargo and logistics operations
- Routing, load planning, manifests, and customs
- Shipment tracking, warehouse receiving, picking, and shipping
- Tariffs, invoicing, carrier settlement, and exceptions
03
Maintenance and operating day
- Maintenance planning, parts, work orders, and compliance
- Fleet, asset availability, and schedule support
- Revenue accounting, batch cycles, and close processing
Risk and control priorities
Where legacy ambiguity becomes business exposure.
The assessment narrows risk to business impact and source-backed control evidence instead of treating documentation as a generic code inventory.
01
Operational synchronization
Business impact
Partner messages, schedules, customer updates, and operating systems must stay aligned during change.
Control focus
Map real-time and batch dependencies across transactions, messages, jobs, files, and interfaces.
02
Safety and service continuity
Business impact
Scheduling, maintenance, routing, and parts errors can affect safety, service recovery, and revenue.
Control focus
Document MRO, asset, route, disruption, and exception paths with source-backed runbooks.
03
Exception-path visibility
Business impact
The highest-risk logic may only appear during weather, customs, warehouse, cancellation, or refund events.
Control focus
Identify operational exceptions and trace them through customer, partner, finance, and reporting outputs.
COBOLpro assessment output
Concrete artifacts for continuity decisions.
Outputs are written for shared use across business, audit, architecture, application, data, and delivery teams.
01
Operating dependency map
Reservation, routing, WMS, cargo, MRO, partner, customs, and settlement dependencies tied to source.
02
Disruption and exception runbook
Operational steps for schedule, shipment, warehouse, maintenance, refund, and customer-service exceptions.
03
Partner interface inventory
Airport, customs, carrier, warehouse, agency, partner, and customer-system feeds organized by workflow.
04
Documentation impact brief
Evidence for changing reservation, routing, rating, maintenance, warehouse, or settlement logic.
