The Pressures Are Different When Every Part Has to Fly.

Aerospace work leaves no room for missing records, outdated revisions, or untracked outside processes. ShopXpert is built around the controls these shops rely on every day.

01

Traceability Requirements

Every part, revision, operation, and supplier must stay traceable, sometimes years after delivery.

02

Strict Quality and Compliance

AS9100, ISO 9001, and ITAR-driven processes demand controlled documentation and auditable workflows.

03

Complex Supply Chains

Subcontractors, long lead times, RFQs, revisions, and approval loops introduce risk and delay.

04

Cost Accuracy Under Pressure

Aerospace margins depend on accurate estimating, repeatable costing, and controlled execution.

Real-Time Shop Visibility

See Every Critical Part, Operation, and Outside Process in One View.

Track aerospace jobs across every department and spot bottlenecks before they put delivery at risk. Operators see the job, drawing, revision, and next stage directly at the workstation.

Outside processes such as heat treat and chem film stay visible on the same dashboard, and First Article inspections are flagged so production keeps moving. Every update flows into the same manufacturing ERP your office uses for quoting and purchasing.

  • Live job stages from machining to final inspection
  • Outside processes tracked by job and supplier
  • First Article flagged as the next stage
  • Drawings, STEP models, and forms at the workstation

From RFQ to Shipment

One Connected Record for Every Aerospace Job.

Each step adds to the same job history, so quality, purchasing, and the shop floor work from one source of operational truth.

01QuoteEstimate labor, material, and outside costs, then convert the approved RFQ into a job.
02PlanRelease the job with routing, priorities, due dates, and material needs.
03MachineOperators clock in, open drawings and STEP models, and update progress at the workstation.
04Outside ProcessSend parts to heat treat, chem film, or plating with the purchase order tied to the job.
05InspectRecord first article and in-process checks with pass or fail inspection forms.
06ShipClose the job with serial numbers, certificates, and actual costs on record.
Built for Aerospace Workflows

Aerospace ERP and Quality Controls, Connected in One Platform.

Start with the modules you need today, from manufacturing ERP to CMMS and preventive maintenance, and add more as programs grow without rebuilding your data foundation.

01
Traceability

Lot and Serial Number Tracking

Continue your existing serial sequence and trace every part from raw material to finished part.

02
Quality

Inspections and Non-Conformances

Build pass or fail inspection forms, capture evidence, and manage non-conformances against the job.

03
Suppliers

Outsource and Supplier Control

Manage RFQs, purchase orders, deliveries, and supplier history, with alerts before certifications expire.

04
Documents

Controlled Drawings and Revisions

Keep drawings, revisions, work instructions, and STEP models attached to the job operators are running.

05
Tooling

Tool Control and Calibration

Use connected vending and XpertLock to know who took each tool and keep expired gauges out of production.

06
Training

Training for AS and ISO Compliance

Document procedures and train your team in the Academy module to support AS9100 and ISO compliance.

Defense-Grade Security

Protect Technical Data in a Segregated Environment.

Aerospace programs often carry ITAR-controlled technical data. ShopXpert keeps sensitive files in a segregated environment with restricted server partitions, and design files are encrypted in transit and at rest.

  • Segregated environment built to support ITAR-driven operations
  • Restricted server partitions for technical data
  • Encryption in transit and at rest
  • Centralized AS9100 documentation, ready for audits

Aerospace manufacturing questions

Aerospace Manufacturing Software FAQs.

Answers for aerospace shops evaluating traceability, quality, supplier control, and data security.

What is aerospace manufacturing software?

Aerospace manufacturing software connects quoting, production, quality, and supplier records so shops can trace every serialized part, manage outside processes, and support AS9100 audits. ShopXpert combines manufacturing ERP, first article inspection, supplier control, and shop-floor tracking in one platform.

Can ShopXpert trace aerospace parts by lot and serial number?

Yes. ShopXpert tracks lot and serial numbers, inspection reports, and non-conformances, giving traceability from raw material to finished part. You can also continue the serial sequence from your current system.

How does ShopXpert handle outside processes like heat treat and chem film?

Outsourced operations are tied to the job, from RFQ and purchase order to delivery, so the status of every outside process stays visible on the same dashboard as in-house work.

Does ShopXpert support AS9100 and ISO 9001 requirements?

Yes. ShopXpert supports AS9100 and ISO workflows with inspection forms, controlled documents, supplier certificate tracking, and Academy training records.

How is ITAR-controlled technical data protected?

Sensitive technical data is kept in a segregated environment with restricted server partitions, and files are encrypted in transit and at rest.
