Ecommerce aviation parts platform

AeroParts Now, an ecommerce solution for aviation part sellers, has launched a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform.

Customers can use the system to synchronize inventory with third-party marketplaces, streamline the quoting process, enhance customer communication, and enable direct-to-customer transactions through custom-branded web and mobile storefronts.

For example, the APN Inventory app allows customers to enroll parts and add product photos, inventory tags, and other certification documentation to parts in the system and a connected enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. It also lets part sellers without an ERP system organize and list parts on storefronts or third-party marketplaces.

AeroParts Now’s SaaS model offers parts sellers greater flexibility and lower overall costs. Customers can add new services as needed or add custom features with AeroParts Now professional services.

AeroParts Now President Will Dent says, “Our platform features will help propel the industry forward by modernizing the way suppliers sell and buyers purchase aircraft parts.”
