Boeing Distribution launches unified ecommerce platform
In an ongoing journey to modernize and integrate its distribution businesses, Boeing Distribution launched a new, unified ecommerce website, bringing its portfolio of products and services into one digital destination to simplify how customers and suppliers connect, transact, and grow with the company.
During the past year, Boeing Distribution implemented several key initiatives to strengthen operations and elevate the customer experience. These include enhanced Aircraft on Ground (AOG) access for faster response times, an improved customer support model streamlining communication and resolution, and implementation of a new state-of-the-art enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to unify data, improve visibility, and support more efficient service.
The Boeing Distribution ecommerce website now offers:
- Visibility of Boeing’s full product catalog and services offerings for commercial, business, and general aviation, vertical lift, and defense customers
- Smart search, powered by artificial intelligence (AI), to help customers find products faster
- Access in one place to parts and services previously purchased separately from Boeing Distribution (formerly Aviall) and Boeing Distribution Services websites
- Real-time inventory visibility and order management
- Mobile-friendly design for easy access anytime, anywhere
- One single login
