Standardize collaboration with suppliers and gain early visibility across your multi-tier supply chain AirSupply connects manufacturers, suppliers, logistics partners, and finance teams on one shared platform to manage forecasting, orders, deliveries, and supplier performance with greater transparency and control.
AirSupply is a collaborative supply chain platform for aerospace and defense that connects manufacturers, suppliers, and logistics partners on a shared system to manage forecasting, ordering, delivery, and supplier performance across multiple supply chain tiers.
Supply chains in aerospace and defense are highly complex, with millions of parts and a large share sourced from external suppliers. To keep production stable, forecasting, ordering, and delivery coordination must work seamlessly across multiple partners and tiers.
However, fragmented systems and inconsistent collaboration models make it difficult to maintain transparency, react early to risks, and align processes across the network.
Complex coordination across a distributed supplier base
Forecasts, orders, and delivery changes require continuous alignment across many external partners
Limited visibility beyond direct suppliers
Without shared data and standardized processes, risks in downstream tiers remain hidden
Delayed response to supply risks
Missing early signals reduces reaction time when shortages or delays emerge
High effort to align cross-company processes
Different systems and maturity levels make consistent collaboration difficult
AirSupply creates the shared transactional data foundation for collaborative aerospace supply chain processes across forecast, purchase orders, despatch advice, goods receipt, inventory, quality collaboration, and invoicing. That standardized process basis improves transparency across business partners and helps identify upcoming bottlenecks earlier.
AirSupply helps customers and suppliers align future demand and live orders in one structured process. Forecasts and purchase orders can be shared, reviewed, and updated collaboratively so delivery quantity and date can be fine-tuned before problems escalate. This creates a more reliable basis for supply planning than static order exchange alone.
AirSupply extends collaboration into the operational delivery flow. The solution covers advance shipping notification, incoming-goods optimization, and supplier-managed inventory scenarios so execution does not disappear after order confirmation. This helps customers and suppliers work from the same shipment and receipt context, improving inbound transparency and reducing friction around delivery execution.
AirSupply is not limited to logistics transactions. It connects supply chain collaboration with on-time delivery, concessions, complaint management, manufacturing visibility, and invoicing. That gives aerospace companies one connected environment for monitoring delivery reliability, handling quality deviations, gaining supplier production insight, and digitizing Purchase-to-Pay processes instead of pushing these interactions into separate supplier-facing tools.
AirSupply originated from the BoostAeroSpace initiative, founded by Airbus, Dassault Aviation, Safran, and Thales to standardize processes and data formats across the European aerospace industry. That heritage matters: AirSupply is not just a company-specific portal, but an industry collaboration model designed to improve competitiveness through more consistent communication and process alignment between customers and suppliers.
Shared industry platform
Customers and suppliers collaborate on the same standardized process framework.
Multi-tier data flow
The platform supports end-to-end information flow across several levels of the supply chain.
Aerospace-proven processes
AirSupply reproduces established industry processes instead of forcing a generic workflow onto aerospace operations.
Stronger network standardization
Standardized processes and data formats improve communication quality across the ecosystem.
The strongest value signals for AirSupply come from process standardization, earlier bottleneck visibility, better cross-tier transparency, and measurable gains in adjacent invoicing and quality workflows. The product page also emphasizes that collaborative end-to-end data flow across several supply-chain levels helps stabilize supply chains by enabling earlier reaction to impending shortages.
20 days → 3 days
invoice-processing time in the e-invoicing process versus paper-based handling
Up to 20%
reduction of operational procurement effort through e-invoicing
Up to 60%

10–20%
reduction of concession-management effort
5–10%
reduction of return rate through better concession and non-conformity handling
One shared process. Better visibility. Earlier reaction to shortages and delays.
AirSupply is SupplyOn’s aerospace-specific supply chain collaboration solution. It is positioned as a shared industry platform for collaborative SCM processes between customers and suppliers in the aerospace industry.
AirSupply is designed around proven aerospace-industry processes, not just document exchange. It supports collaborative forecast handling, purchase order status, delivery coordination, incoming-goods optimization, inventory collaboration, quality processes, and invoicing on one shared platform.
Because aerospace supply chains are unusually complex, highly supplier-dependent, and deeply multi-tiered. The AirSupply page explicitly highlights the large share of externally sourced parts and the need for close coordination with suppliers.
The live solution page highlights Procure-to-Pay, invoicing, ASN, VMI, On Time Delivery, concessions, complaint management, and Manufacturing Visibility as core AirSupply-related process areas.
AirSupply creates end-to-end data flow across several levels of the supply chain. That makes it easier to identify and react to impending shortages before they become operational disruptions.
Yes. The solution is positioned around proactive capacity planning and interactive fine-tuning of delivery quantity and date, alongside tracking of order and delivery status on a shared platform.
Connect forecast, purchase orders, delivery status, incoming goods, inventory, quality collaboration, and invoicing on one shared industry platform — so your teams can improve transparency, react earlier to bottlenecks, and stabilize supply across the aerospace network
