AeroParts Now Announces Free APN Search Parts Sourcing Hub

Savannah, Georgia, April 27, 2021 — AeroParts Now™ (APN), developer of the only integrated aircraft parts ecommerce platform purpose-built by aviation professionals for the industry, today announced a groundbreaking new feature, APN Search™.  APN Search™ is completely free for users.

APN Search builds upon the AeroParts Now core platform, which enables suppliers to sync inventory ERP system or manual upload to their own custom-branded storefronts and third-party marketplaces. The revolutionary search capability leverages the power of the APN Network of parts sellers and provides one convenient place to search inventory across all APN customer stores as well as other integrated marketplaces and storefronts.

“By launching APN Search, we are providing our industry with a single, centralized source for conducting peer-to-peer transactions,” said Jeff Jerge, CEO of AeroParts Now. “Suppliers can easily sync from their ERP inventory to their own APN store and connected third-party marketplaces, while buyers can take advantage of a single search hub across the APN Network and other third party providers.”   

Will Dent, CTO of AeroParts Now added, “Our modern, cloud-based platform gives parts buyers real-time visibility into the aerospace supply chain, and APN Search makes it easy to purchase parts via credit card or purchase order. ‘Ghost listings’ will be a thing of the past as adoption of the APN platform continues.”    

Buyers can search by part number and return search results across the entire APN Network of sellers. Buyers who upgrade to APN Search+™ can connect popular third-party providers to include results from those sources as well. 

Once a buyer selects a search result listing, they can either check out directly from the seller’s online store, if available, or submit a request-for-quote (RFQ) directly through the APN Search portal. Buyers can submit multiple RFQs simultaneously to suppliers and receive direct quotes through the APN Search portal. The entire process can be fully automated to include capturing quotes and aggregating them into buyer’s inbox.  

Reliable part search technology is a critical component of the aviation supply chain. AeroParts Now is moving the industry toward more normalized, online, peer-to-peer transactions with APN Search technology. APN Search combines listings from curated websites on the APN Network along with integrated third parties, providing for a one-stop search experience for parts buyers.

APN will be exhibiting at booth 1150 at the MRO Americas/MRO Military Convention in Orlando on April 27-29.
