Zero-defect supply chains with AS9100 compliance, FAI workflows, and full traceability.
Aerospace and defense procurement operates under the strictest quality, traceability, and export control requirements of any manufacturing sector. A single compliance failure can ground fleets, trigger regulatory investigations, or endanger national security. Proconomy brings structured digital workflows to AS9100 qualification, First Article Inspection, and ITAR-controlled sourcing — eliminating the paper-based processes that create risk in this sector.
These are the procurement problems that cost aerospace & defense manufacturers time, money, and compliance risk every day.
Qualifying a new supplier to AS9100 Rev D standards requires collecting and verifying certificates, audit reports, process capability data, and quality management documentation — a process that typically takes 3–6 months when managed through email and shared drives. In an industry where qualified suppliers are scarce, qualification delays directly constrain capacity.
FAI per AS9102 requires collecting and approving balloon drawings, measurement data, material certifications, and functional test results for every new part. Without a digital workflow, FAI packages are compiled in binders, approvals are chased via email, and records are stored in filing cabinets — creating audit risk and approval delays.
Controlled articles under ITAR and EAR must only be shared with screened, authorised parties. Without automated export control screening integrated into the sourcing process, buyers may inadvertently include non-authorised suppliers in RFQs — creating serious legal exposure.
Full traceability from raw material to assembly is a core requirement in aerospace. When goods receipt, inspection, and goods movement are managed across disconnected systems, lot traceability gaps emerge — only discovered during customer or regulatory audits when it is too late.
When parts are accepted with deviations, or when suppliers propose engineering changes, the documentation and approval trail must be complete and permanent. Without a structured change control workflow, deviations are approved informally, records are lost, and recurring deviations go undetected.
Aerospace programs run for 20–30 years. Long-term supply agreements established at program launch must be actively managed — but most organisations track them in spreadsheets. Price escalation clauses, performance milestones, and re-negotiation windows are routinely missed.
Purpose-built features and Agentic AI working together to eliminate the most costly aerospace & defense procurement problems.
Structured digital qualification workflow covering AS9100 Rev D requirements — certificate upload, audit report management, capability data collection, and approval routing. The Supplier Onboarding Agent guides suppliers through every requirement and automatically identifies gaps.
AS9102-compliant digital FAI package — balloon drawing upload, measurement data entry, material cert collection, and multi-stage approval routing. Full audit trail with version-controlled document storage.
Export control classification built into supplier and part profiles. Automated ITAR screening before RFQs are issued — non-authorised suppliers are blocked from receiving controlled article data. Full audit trail of all controlled article transactions.
End-to-end lot and serial traceability from purchase order through goods receipt, inspection, and goods movement. Traceability records are immutable and audit-ready at any time.
Structured deviation and change request workflow with multi-stage approval, formal acceptance conditions, and automatic re-qualification triggers. The Lifecycle Risk Agent monitors supplier change notifications and assesses impact on controlled articles.
LTA tracking with automated alerts for price escalation windows, performance milestone reviews, and contract expiry. The Category Strategy Agent identifies re-negotiation opportunities before windows close.
These agents run autonomously in the background — monitoring, analysing, and acting so your team doesn't have to.
