The new AAR tool has unlimited document and digital asset storage which allows for all materials related to a given repair to be stored in a centralized, easy to access location. It can process quotes, manage suppliers and contracts and capture warranty claims. Additionally, AIRVOLUTION offers the ability to ensure competitive pricing by producing automated price checks gathered from historical and market benchmarks.
Full service support, either on an ad hoc basis or in an ongoing capacity is fully integrated into AIRVOLUTION and is available via AAR’s component repair division, Airinmar. Airinmar, acquired in 2011, manages 180,000 repair transactions a year, at a value of US$700 million.
AAR president digital services, Jim Gross, said: “We have developed a robust application, tailored to specifically to meet the aviation industry supply chain’s growing demands for higher visibility, improved component availability and reduced operating costs.”
AAR employs 6,000 staff in 20 countries. It supports commercial aviation and government customers through two operating segments: Aviation Services and Expeditionary Services. Aviation Services offers inventory management, parts supply, OEM parts distribution, aircraft MRO, engineering services and component repair.
