Why We Built ERP.Aero: A Mission to Transform Aviation

Every great innovation begins with a problem. For us, it wasn’t just one problem, it was a cascade of them. We saw an industry we love, the aviation supply chain, struggling under the weight of inefficiency, outdated tools, and missed opportunities. The systems were fractured, the processes cumbersome, and the people, dedicated professionals trying to keep the industry running, were left exhausted and frustrated.

We built ERP.Aero because we’ve been there. We’ve seen the chaos firsthand, and we couldn’t stand by while the people who keep planes in the sky were held back by their tools.

The Problem We Saw

For years, we watched aviation suppliers, distributors, brokers, and manufacturers fight battles they shouldn’t have to fight:

• Missed RFQs because processes were too slow.

• Redundant data entry that drained valuable time and caused costly errors.

• Compliance nightmares, with managers scrambling to meet ASA-100 standards under tight deadlines.

• Data Access and Hidden Fees: Many systems lock businesses out of their own data or charge exorbitant fees for access, leaving companies unable to make informed decisions or having to pay for their own data.

• Fragmented systems that didn’t communicate with one another, forcing teams to patch together solutions like duct tape on a cracked fuselage.

• Lack of Support: Traditional ERP systems often leave businesses stranded with limited or non-existent customer service, forcing teams to troubleshoot critical issues alone and risking costly downtime.

It wasn’t just inefficiency, but a cycle of frustration, lost revenue, and wasted potential.

We Knew We Had to Act

One story stuck with us. A mid-sized aviation supplier lost a $1M deal because they couldn’t turn around an RFQ fast enough. Not because they didn’t have the parts, not because they didn’t have the expertise, but because their tools couldn’t keep up.

That’s when it hit us: the aviation industry didn’t just need another ERP system. It needed a system built specifically for them. A system that worked at the speed of their ambitions, with the intelligence and scalability to help them grow.

The Solution We Created

ERP.Aero was born from our belief that the aviation industry deserves better. We didn’t set out to build “just another ERP.” We built the ERP that aviation professionals could rely on—one that simplifies, accelerates, and empowers.

Here’s how ERP.Aero transforms aviation businesses:

1. Blazing-Fast RFQ Processing: We streamlined the RFQ-to-PO process so businesses never lose a deal due to slow turnaround times. What once took days now happens in minutes.

6. Seamless Integrations: ERP.Aero connects effortlessly with tools like insurance (coming soon), EasyPost for logistics, and QuickBooks Online and Xero , and more, creating a unified ecosystem that eliminates manual processes and helps operations from start to finish.

Our Why: It’s Always Been About You

We didn’t create ERP.Aero just to solve technical problems. We built it to change lives. To give business owners back their weekends. To help sales teams close deals faster. To make compliance managers breathe a little easier.

Because at the end of the day, aviation isn’t about processes or profits—it’s about people. The ones who keep the planes flying and the passengers moving. And those people deserve tools that help them, not hinder them.
