INVENTORY MANAGEMENT, ADVISORY & DATA SERVICES

Inventory Reduction - Increase operating capital by reducing unnecessary inventory from stock. We identify & market those inventory items that do not support current operator’s aircraft fleet. Reduction provides a secondary benefit of allowing cost savings of warehouse space and other carrying cost.
Obsolescence Analysis – Identification of inventory supporting obsolete aircraft platforms.
Warehouse reorganization - Advisory, Logistics & Staffing related to comprehensive warehouse reorganizations.
Inventory Management Software - Advisory & IT assistance with selection, set-up & transitions
Ecommerce Listings – Advisory & IT support for listing with Ilsmart, Partsbase & similar parts trading platforms
Inventory Database Corrections - The average aircraft parts inventory database contains between 10% to 30% incorrect part numbers. Accumulated typo’s and improper parts receiving practices over many years results in parts that will never sell as RFQ’s on Ilsmart & Partsbase will never cross to the listed inventory. We provide inventory analysis services that will identify invalid part numbers allowing physical verification and corrections.
