Inside the Aerospace ERP Gap: The $2M Cost of Getting It Wrong
Nov 7th, 2025 | 11 AM ET
The aerospace and defense industry runs in one of the toughest environments—where compliance, traceability, and precision are mandatory. Yet many manufacturers still use generic ERPs built for multiple industries. They end up spending millions on customizations just to meet basic aerospace needs. These systems often fail under FAA, DoD, and OEM requirements, creating costly gaps that hurt efficiency, auditability, and profitability.
In this webinar, we’ll uncover the “Aerospace ERP Gap” — the hidden risks of retrofitting generic ERP systems for aviation-specific processes like cert linkage, lot and serial tracking, shelf-life control, and calibration traceability. Learn how these gaps lead to compliance issues, delays, and the costly “$2M customization trap,” where companies overspend trying to make generic ERPs fit mission-critical needs.
See how industry-built ERP solutions close the Aerospace ERP Gap with out-of-the-box functionality for MRO, manufacturing, and defense contractors. These systems enforce compliance, manage configurations, and deliver real-time visibility across every aircraft, tool, and certificate. Discover how they help organizations move from fragmented and reactive to unified and intelligent — without blowing budgets or extending implementation timelines.
By the end of this session, attendees will understand:
How aviation-specific ERP system capabilities differ from other ERPs designed to serve multiple business models and industries.
How to address the operational, regulatory, and visibility challenges faced by aviation, aerospace, and defense companies.
Ways to transform aviation operations from fragmented and reactive to unified and intelligent.
Why aviation, aerospace, and defense companies require specialized systems for compliance, traceability, and speed.
How ERP.Aero’s capabilities serve unique use cases across Aviation, Aerospace, and Defense sectors.
What airtight documentation looks like for aerospace and defense operations — and how to enforce cert linkage, shelf-life control, and tool calibration logic across every transaction.
