AAOs Cole Popplewell said that “Our family-owned repair station and parts business is focused on providing excellent parts service and purchase experiences to our aviation customers. While we want to extend that capability online and use our existing CORRIDOR ERP and ILS Marketplace presence, we can’t be bogged down by having to integrate various systems with uncertified APIs from unproven vendors. SalesEdge™ Commerce is the right system for our needs, and we can’t wait to realize its full potential to our business.” 

AvioTrade

Said Veronica Martinez, Director, Programs & Planning at AvioTrade, “Our mission is to increase sales and the distribution of our direct manufacturer lines, including rotable parts, chemicals, consumables, ground support equipment and on-board service materials with current and new customers around the globe 24/7. SalesEdge™ Commerce is an indispensable element in that strategy and we are keen to extend the value of our Quantum ERP, ILS marketplace presence as well our website to attain our goals."
