Inventory Locator Service, LLC (ILS), the dynamic aerospace marketplace, has announced integrations with SmartCert and ProvenAir, both recognised as industry leaders in digitising trace and quality documentation for the aviation supply chain. SmartCert automates quality certification management, while ProvenAir leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to produce back-to-birth (BtB) trace timelines for life-limited parts.
Tackling a persistent documentation challenge
With the integration of SmartCert and ProvenAir into the ILS platform, buyers now have access to state-of-the-art technology that transforms traditional procurement processes. This collaboration directly supports ongoing industry goals by offering comprehensive BtB traceability insights, equipping buyers with the necessary tools to optimise operations.
The partnership fosters an ecosystem of trust and transparency, allowing buyers to confidently confirm compliance and traceability with documentation that is both accurate and easily accessible. This forward-thinking approach not only minimises transactional friction but also strengthens relationships throughout the aviation aftermarket.
An industry-first collaboration
The partnership between ILS, SmartCert, and ProvenAir brings seamless access to certifications and verified BtB trace data directly within the ILS platform — a first-of-its-kind solution that eliminates inefficiencies and redefines documentation management.
Suppliers utilising SmartCert or ProvenAir will now have their respective logos displayed alongside their ILS inventory listings, signalling to buyers that supporting documentation is available. By combining SmartCert’s robust certification delivery automation with ProvenAir’s detailed BtB trace insights — all within ILS’s expansive global marketplace — this collaboration sets a new benchmark for speed, accuracy, and compliance in the aerospace supply chain.
