Aerospace and defense suppliers

Be the second source before one is needed.

Tier 2 and tier 3 suppliers of parts, assemblies and processes to aerospace and defense programs.

How the work is won

Qualification takes years, and a supplier that is approved can hold a part number for the life of a program. New work arrives through primes and tier 1 suppliers that rarely look for a new source unless they have to.

Where the revenue is

Usually in three places. Your records point to all of them.

01

Second-source moments

Primes and tier 1 suppliers looking for a second source after a supplier fails, before the request is public.
02

Buyers who don't know your approvals

Sourcing teams at programs you don't supply yet, buying parts your processes and approvals already cover.
03

Adjacent parts at current buyers

Parts your current buyers source from other suppliers that you are already approved to make.

Records we work from

We work in the systems you already have.

Read-only access, under a data agreement that names what we touch. No new software unless the old one is what's holding revenue back.

Where every engagement starts

Adjacent parts for current buyers move faster than new qualifications.

A second use for the same records

AI labs license the working records of operating businesses. In aerospace and defense suppliers, that can mean: only records the company owns outright and that carry no export-control or customer restrictions.
