On June 1, 2007, OneAero released it's newest upgrades to the Repair module's pricing feature. Since the inception of the Repair database in 2000, the basic functionality of displaying industry average costs for overhaul, repair and testing of components has remained virtually untouched. While the "Pricing Matrix" that displays such industry average costs has not changed, OneAero has added a section to the repair search results pages that shows all archived quote data received from RFQs from shops.
Now every time a customer receives a quote back from a shop the system automatically logs, and displays, the pricing information specifically quoted from the shop, the date it was quoted, who quoted it, how much was quoted to overhaul, repair and test the part, as well as turn-time infomation and any notes from the shop. Such data can easily be referred to by simply putting a part number in the Repair search field, and then having the information be displayed in the search results from every repair center that quoted the customer.
Customers can also manually log quotes received from shops via fax, email or telephone. Once a customer queries a part in the Repair page, and the results are displayed, the customer can click on the "Log Quote" link and manually enter any pricing data received on the part. The advantage to this new system is that the customer can quickly, and easily, build a very detailed picture of the cost associated with a particular repair. Customers can sort all the pricing and turn-time data relative to the date quoted, the type of repair and the time it will take to repair the unit.
If you have questions about this new feature, please contact a OneAero representative at 1-888-820-8551.

For the first time in aviation history, companies are now able to streamline their invoicing process by switching to an electronic and completely automated e-invoicing process. Suppliers can transmit invoices to their entire customer base by using a standard interface via OneAero/IATA. Invoices can be forwarded electronically to all aviation, and non-aviation related customers.
How it works:
The supplier transmits the invoices to OneAero/IATA, then the OneAero/IATA system automatically distributes the invoices to the appropriate customers.
The supplier can monitor the transfer of all invoices and receives an "invoice sent" confirmation notification. The customer can receive all invoices, using a single format and interface, ready for processing.
In addition to the data-processing, suppliers and customers can automate the settlement process, by using the ICH (IATA Clearing House).
The benefits:
Suppliers
- Invoices are delivered to the customer 2 - 4 days earlier.
- Online invoicing dispute resolution
- Invoicing delivery is visible to the Supplier
- Payment is received, on average, 4 days earlier (IATA-Study)
Customers
- Single format for all electronic invoices
- All electronic invoices arrive through a single interface
- All remaining paper invoices can be received electronically from IATA using their scanning service.
- Online invoicing dispute resolution
- High reduction on invoice processing cost (IATA-Study)
For more information about OneAero/IATA e-Invoicing, please contact OneAero’s Michael Harms at mharms@oneaero.com.

Until recently, inventory and repair databases were only as accurate, or inaccurate, as the data being provided by the supplier to the information providers. Those days are now history. OneAero has developed a very simple Inventory Synchronization application, which in most cases can be installed and running in one day! Now every time a supplier sells a part, or purchases a part to put in stock, the OneAero database is notified and updated.
Inventory Synchronization is so flexible that it can be adapted and integrated with any software platform. You don't have to alter, or adapt, your company's existing system in order to integrate with OneAero's inventory module.
Dan Fitzpatrick, a Director of OneAero stated: "This new technology will greatly benefit OneAeros customers by providing real time inventory data as accurately as possible". To achieve high levels of accuracy, all OneAero customers are strongly encouraged to synchronize their data with OneAero's database.
To learn more about synchronizing your in-house database with the OneAero system, please call 1-888-820-8551.
Since January of this year more than 20 airlines, shops and suppliers have joined OneAero. Some of our new members include: All Nippon Airways, SAS Techni-trade, Island Transvoyager Airlines, Gulfstream Airlines, Aerospace Center, Central Jet Group, Aerotechtelub, Avmart Sales, Qualified Technologies Corp., Jamaica Bearings, PJB Aviation, Jet Systems, Aero Parts Mfg., Hawker Pacific, etc. Contact Us for more information.
Repair centers can now reserve specific part numbers that they have repair capability on, and each time their company logo will appear on the results page of the site. The cost to advertise is $1 per year, per part number. Learn more about this exciting new offer.
The Ratingen, Germany based coating company, Praxair GmbH, has signed an MRO-Tracker contract to support all its customers with real-time online repair status information using the OneAero MRO-Tracker system.
All repair related data is being transmitted from their internal ERP system directly into their private-label Customer Service Center (CSC). Praxair customers can log into the Praxair CSC system and review the status of their subcontracted parts. In addition, users can generate automated standard, or customized reports, relative to parts being repaired at Praxair.
The internal MRO-Tracker messaging tool enables both, customer and supplier, to
