ERP for MRO suppliers and aviation parts distributors
Aviation parts distributors and MRO suppliers sell the same part number in different conditions, with different paperwork, to customers who expect a quote within the hour and a full trace with every shipment. General distribution software does not know what a condition code or an airworthiness certificate is. Solventro does.
Solventro runs the whole distribution cycle, from a customer’s request for quote to the supplier purchase, receiving inspection, repair order, shipment with its certificates and the invoice, with the part’s identity and paperwork attached at every step.
Part identity the way aviation uses it
- Part number with revision, NSN, CAGE code, ATA chapter, aircraft applicability and effectivity on every item
- Interchangeability groups, so an alternate part number can be offered when the requested one is not in stock
- Condition codes on stock and repaired parts, for example new, overhauled (OH), serviceable (SV) or as removed (AR)
- The airworthiness certificates each part needs (such as FAA Form 8130-3, EASA Form 1 or a certificate of conformity) recorded on the part
- Serial and lot numbers carried from receipt to shipment
From request for quote to shipment
- Customer requests and quotations in any currency, with quotation approval rules before a quote is sent
- Requests for quotation to several suppliers, supplier quotes side by side and purchase orders in the supplier’s currency
- Incoming parts held in quarantine until receiving inspection releases them, with a material review decision for anything that fails
- Repair orders to repair stations with work scope, turnaround tracking, partial shipments and the condition the part comes back in
- Shipping documents with a certificate of conformity listing lot and serial numbers, and export-control classification on documents
- Three-way match of purchase order, receipt and supplier invoice before a bill is paid
Why distributors choose it over general ERP
Large ERP systems can be configured for aviation distribution, usually with consultants and add-ons. Solventro has the aviation fields, quarantine, repair orders and certificate paperwork built in, at a per-user price, with an Aerospace / MRO plan and a flat rate for teams of up to 15 users.
Run it in the cloud or on your own server
Use Solventro Cloud, or install the same system on your own server under a self-hosted licence if your customers or authorities require your data to stay with you.
Per-user pricing in US dollars: Starter $11, Professional $20 and Aerospace / MRO $50 per user per month (less on annual billing), or the Aerospace / MRO flat rate of $600 a month for up to 15 users. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.
