Aero C&E’s onboarding success story: Fully operational in just 24 hours

The aviation parts marketplace is challenging to navigate. Onboarding aviation spare parts suppliers usually takes days or even weeks, systems are fragmented and companies are left hunting endlessly for where to buy or sell aircraft parts but generally find the process slow and inefficient. 

But every so often, an outstanding aircraft parts supplier enters the market and shows how fast the experience can be when deep industry expertise is combined with pioneering  technology. 

Recently, we welcomed Aero C&E onto Spaero, a centralised aircraft parts marketplace built for faster, safer and more trusted aviation spare parts supply chain management.  

Behind Aero C&E is a team with extensive experience and familiar names throughout the international aircraft parts community. 

From the moment Miles Lewis began the onboarding process, it became clear that Aero C&E were entering the market with intent, professionalism and a comprehensive understanding of how to sell aircraft parts effectively. What followed was one of the fastest supplier adoption cycles we have seen across aviation spare parts. 

A complete transaction in under 48 hours 

Within two days of joining Spaero, Aero C&E: 

• Completed our onboarding forms 

• Provided their accreditations 

• Finalised their onboarding profile 

• Uploaded their inventory 

• Received their first RFQ 

• Provided a quotation 

• Won the order 

• Shipped the aircraft part 

Every step was taken quickly and without any complications. It’s solid proof of how experienced aviation professionals can deliver immediate value when supported by a user-friendly aircraft parts marketplace, especially for buyers searching by part number aircraft listings or sourcing urgent aviation spare parts. 

Why speed matters 

At this stage of Spaero’s rollout, we are taking a measured approach with buyer activity: 

• In the wider market, most aircraft parts buyers have been asked to temporarily hold off sending large volumes of enquiries while we continue onboarding and integrating the full inventory of verified aviation spare parts suppliers. 

• However, we are actively supporting a focused group of early pilot end-user customers, ensuring they can source aircraft parts for sale or repair  quickly and reliably while the wider aircraft parts supplier base is finalised. 

This makes Aero C&E’s quick onboarding even more meaningful. Despite controlled enquiry flow, their real transaction from RFQ to dispatch proves the Spaero engine works, and works exceptionally well. 

Seeing the platform operate this smoothly at such an early stage reinforces our confidence in the months ahead, when we will begin opening Spaero to broader enquiry volumes across the global aircraft parts international market.  

“The onboarding process with Spaero was exceptionally smooth and fast: clear steps, intuitive design and full setup within hours. We were able to move from registration to quoting, winning and shipping our first order in under 24 hours, which is rare in the aviation aftermarket. The platform is genuinely frictionless and enabled us to demonstrate value immediately. We’re excited to continue trading on Spaero as the marketplace scales.” 

— Miles Lewis, Aero C&E 

A new benchmark for supplier onboarding in the aircraft parts market 

Aero C&E’s first 24 hours on Spaero set a new benchmark for efficiency within the aviation spare parts industry. It highlights what’s possible when skilled, accredited suppliers are empowered by technology designed for speed, trust and safety, whether they’re responding to RFQs, listing aircraft parts for sale or supporting operators looking for where to buy aircraft parts. 

We’re proud to welcome Aero C&E as a Spaero Partner and look forward to expanding enquiry volume across the platform, connecting global buyers with trusted aviation spare parts suppliers and setting a new standard for the future of the aviation aftermarket.
