Revenue is up 100%, sales productivity up 200%, and customer satisfaction improved over 20% since Aviall Services Inc. began a technology program in 2000. Aviall is a supplier of new aviation parts and related after-market services in the commercial, military and general aviation sectors. Aviall reduced aircraft on ground (AOG) response cycle time 50% and achieved an accuracy rate of better than 99% for orders going out of the warehouse with Siebel Systems eBusiness applications software. Aviall CEO Paul Fulchino launched technology development in response to increasing competition in the aerospace after-market component parts industry. At that time Aviall was focused on parts distribution and faced shrinking market share and declining sales. �One of our primary success attributes is technology,� noted Fulchino. �We have taken technology and literally leap-frogged it in two years from being comparable and sustainable in the industry to being one that both OEMs and customers say is far superior � all to make our customers� lives easier and better and for more efficiency in doing business.� \ �2003 FastenerNews.com
