OVERVIEW

Faced with growing complexity in parts brokering and USM sourcing, a global aerospace MRO provider needed a more efficient way to manage procurement, inventory, and compliance. By adopting Impresa™ MRO, the company unified its workflows into a single platform, gaining real-time visibility into parts availability, vendor performance, and fleet demand. This digital transformation reduced sourcing delays, lowered carrying costs, improved margins on resale transactions, and strengthened FAA/EASA traceability, delivering both operational agility and profitability in the competitive aerospace aftermarket. 

THE CHALLENGE:

A leading global aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider and aftermarket parts broker struggled with inefficiencies in used serviceable material (USM) sourcing. The organization regularly procured high-value aircraft components, engines, landing gear, and structural assemblies, but lacked visibility within its MRO inventory systems. Reliance on manual spreadsheets and disconnected workflows caused sourcing delays, increased costs, and limited the ability to meet rising customer expectations for faster turnaround times and reduced lifecycle costs.  

THE SOLUTION 

To modernize operations and eliminate inefficiencies, the company deployed Impresa™ MRO, an integrated MRO management software platform purpose-built for aviation and aerospace aftermarket operations. By centralizing procurement, inventory, and repair workflows, Impresa provided real-time visibility into vendor offers, parts availability, and fleet maintenance requirements. Configurable dashboards also enabled faster ROI analysis and smarter supply chain optimization. 

In addition, embedded compliance management tools ensured full FAA and EASA traceability, while the unified MRO ERP solution streamlined parts brokering and USM sourcing by reducing reliance on spreadsheets and fragmented processes. This comprehensive aircraft maintenance software empowered teams to operate with the speed, compliance, and precision required in today’s highly competitive aerospace aftermarket. 

THE RESULT 

The adoption of Impresa MRO software delivered measurable benefits across sourcing, cost control, and compliance. The company reduced sourcing delays for mission-critical aircraft components, ensuring availability for fleet maintenance and heavy check schedules. By aligning USM acquisitions with real-time fleet demand, Impresa lowered carrying costs and improved aviation MRO inventory management. In addition, enhanced supplier visibility and stronger vendor negotiations improved margins on resale transactions, boosting profitability in the aerospace aftermarket. 

Impresa also strengthened regulatory compliance by embedding FAA and EASA audit readiness into daily workflows and providing complete lifecycle traceability for all components. This digital-first approach to documentation and compliance reduced risk, improved audit performance, and built greater customer confidence. With these improvements, the organization gained the agility, scalability, and compliance assurance needed to compete more effectively and profitably in today’s demanding aviation MRO market. 

TESTIMONIAL 

“We don’t typically buy whole airplanes to tear down, but sourcing used serviceable material—engines, landing gear, major assemblies—is a big part of our business. Having better visibility and control makes all the difference in moving faster and more profitably.” – Director of IT and Continuous Improvement
