Are You Facing These A&D Manufacturing Hurdles?

Every aerospace and defense manufacturer faces unique challenges that demand precision and accountability. Here are some of the biggest hurdles teams run into each day:

 

Challenge Effect
Failing to Achieve Full Traceability? Struggling to trace every lot and serial number from raw materials to final assembly? Missing links in your data can compromise quality and compliance.
Overwhelmed by Multi-Level BOMs? Engineering changes can ripple through your entire process, resulting in rework, holdups, and wasted materials.
Risking DoD & AS9100 Compliance? Manual audit preparation and scattered records make meeting AS9100, ITAR, and CMMC requirements more challenging than they should be.
Lacking a True Digital Thread? Information gets trapped in separate CAD, MES, and ERP systems, leaving teams disconnected and uncertain about the latest version.
Losing Control of Material Supply Chains? Limited visibility into supplier performance and aerospace materials, such as titanium or specialty alloys, makes it challenging to remain ahead of disruptions.

A Single Platform Built for the Intricacies of A&D

Our ERP implementations connect every stage of aerospace and defense manufacturing, from engineering and production to compliance and supply chain management. Each feature is designed to solve the issues that slow you down.

  • Granular Lot & Batch Traceability

Track every material from raw goods to final assembly. Meet FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and DoD (Department of Defense) requirements while tracing quality events in minutes, not days.

  • Integrated Multi-Level BOM Management

Keep every version of your BOM (Bill of Materials) synchronized with production. Updates cascade automatically across subassemblies, so every department is in sync.

  • Built-In Compliance & Quality

Automate audit trails for AS9100 (Aerospace Standard 9100), ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulation), and CMMC (Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification). Compliance becomes an integral part of your daily workflow, rather than a separate risk management process.

  • End-to-End Digital Thread

Unify your CAD (Computer-Aided Design), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems in one continuous flow of information. No more silos between engineering, procurement, and production.

  • Real-Time Supply Chain Visibility

See supplier performance, material demand, and inventory levels in real time. Reduce surprises and respond faster to aerospace materials shortages.

What Our A&D Partners Are Saying

Aerospace and defense manufacturers trust our platform to simplify compliance, enhance traceability, and connect their teams across engineering and production. Here’s what a few of them have shared:
