In a nutshell, the system is a secure web-site based tool and fulfils all fundamental ICAO and SA CAA requirements as regards SMS implementation. It has numerous features. The system contains SMS information and both passive and active Tools. To mention just a few of the features:

You can:

Store all Master documentation – policies / procedures / checklists / forms, and the system produces a Master list of Manuals
File accident / incident / hazard / bird strike reports and send them via the system to others for comment and reply. They can be closed out and filed in the system.
Raise an Agenda for a Safety Meeting and write the Minutes during the meeting via the system so that the Minutes are complete before you leave the meeting.
Plan Emergency response Exercises – and once complete the system stores a history of ER Exercises.Manage the major Changes in your company (Management of Change is an SMS requirement).
There is a Currency Management System in place – like your pilot currency board (but one for each category of crew member, employee, aircraft and hangar equipment)

There is also a Risk Assessment Tool/Safety Case/Management of Change tool to assist this process and simplify it.
