Two workflows, one connected platform
The manufacturing heart and the sales journey, side by side. Click any stage to walk through exactly what happens at that step.
The manufacturing heart
Machining & special processes
Structural fittings, brackets, shafts and engine parts machined on 5-axis against per-part routings, with standard times, first-piece approval and NADCAP special-process control.
Stage 1 of 5Per-part routings
Standard times set for every operation.
First-piece approval
Sign-off before the batch runs.
Special processes
Heat-treat, plating, NDT tracked.
Sub-assembly
Wiring harnesses, avionics modules and composite lay-ups are built and checked before they feed the main integration line.
Stage 2 of 5Harness & composites
Sub-assemblies built to spec.
Pre-join inspection
Checked before joining the line.
Reserved to job
Components allocated to the order.
Integration
Structural mating, systems installation, torque-controlled fastening and fluid fill. The structured serial number is born here.
Stage 3 of 5Mating & fastening
Torque-controlled and logged.
Systems install
Fitted and filled to spec.
Serial genesis
Lifelong serial number assigned.
Inspection
AS9102 First Article Inspection, NDT and functional test per serial; dimensional and process results captured live against the plan.
Stage 4 of 5First Article Inspection
AS9102 FAI against the drawing.
NDT & functional test
Non-destructive & functional checks.
e-Certificate
Digital certificate per serial.
Airworthiness sign-off
DGAQA / CEMILAC airworthiness sign-off, or return for rework. On pass, the work order closes with a Certificate of Conformance and the assembly rejoins billing and dispatch.
Stage 5 of 5DGAQA / CEMILAC
Airworthiness data reviewed.
Rework loop
Back to the right station.
CoC handover
Certificate, then to dispatch.
The RFQ-to-invoice journey
The RFQ lands
An RFQ or tender, for example a machined titanium bracket, qty 200 to drawing rev C, auto-creates a lead with source, part and programme tagged.
Step 1 of 6Omni-channel capture
Web, tender portal, email, phone.
Programme routing
Auto-assigned to the right rep.
Duplicate check
One clean, de-duplicated lead.
The rep calls, one click
Click-to-call from the CRM; the call is recorded and the technical requirement captured against the record.
Step 2 of 6Click-to-call
Screen-pop with the record.
Requirement capture
Spec, material, tolerance, standard.
Recording & task
Auto follow-up scheduled.
Qualified & converted
Converted to a customer account and a contract in the Aerospace Sales pipeline; a Blueprint enforces the process.
Step 3 of 6Customer account
Contact and account created.
Price book
Part numbers pulled automatically.
Blueprint
Qualification to Quote.
The quote goes out
A branded quotation with contract pricing and GST auto-calculated; PDF emailed, optionally e-signed.
Step 4 of 6Contract pricing
Programme pricing applied.
GST auto-calc
Tax computed on the quote.
Revisions
Version and status tracked.
Contract won, invoice raised
Closed-won syncs to Books as a sales order then a GST invoice, with milestone billing for programmes; e-invoice (IRN) and e-way bill; stock decremented.

Sales order becomes a GST invoice.
IRN & e-way
Compliance generated in-system.
Milestone billing
Payment link and ledger update.
