Align Aerospace — stock accuracy at aerospace standards

Aerospace component distribution demands absolute traceability, compliance and parts availability. The ERP becomes the guarantor of precision, from order through to shipment.

Context & challenge

Aerospace component distribution leaves no room for approximation: lot and serial traceability, documentary compliance, and a level of stock accuracy that drives both parts availability and customer trust. Before ERP structuring, a distributor's inventory accuracy averages around 83 % (CAPS Research baseline) — not good enough for a regulated sector. The challenge: lift operations to best-in-class level and make every single shipment dependable.

Odoo scope deployed

  • Inventory — lot & serial number traceability
  • Purchase & managed replenishment
  • Sales & technical quotations
  • Quality — inspections & certificates
  • Kitting / shipment preparation

Set-up: Scoping → phased go-live, one single Karizma team from audit through to run.
