Soisa Aircraft Interiors launched its new buyer-furnished equipment (BFE) dress cover management service. With this new BFE, Soisa is enhancing efficiency and precision in the supply chain.
Traditionally, acquiring new aircraft involves complex logistics, particularly for components like dress covers. However, Soisa’s strategy streamlines these processes by reducing lead times for new deliveries and aftermarket phases while supporting intermediary management and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Soisa’s new service offers significant benefits for seat OEMs by aligning with aircraft delivery schedules, enhancing control over procurement and manufacturing, and ensuring on-time delivery.
This advancement in aviation procurement offers a streamlined solution that promises cost savings, lead time reduction, and operational efficiency for both seat OEMs and airlines.
Jacobo Mesta, sales and growth stategy at Soisa, says: “We are committed to enhancing the procurement experience for our clients around the world. At Soisa, we’re not just redesigning cabin interiors; we’re transforming the way the industry approaches procurement. Our new BFE dress cover management service exemplifies our dedication to efficiency, innovation, and customer satisfaction, enabling our clients across the globe to accelerate their products to market.”
Soisa coordinates with airlines to receive BFE materials precisely when needed, relieving both airlines and OEMs of capital costs, administrative burdens, and supply chain complexities, allowing seat OEMs to focus on their core business.
Airlines will also benefit from direct procurement, achieving immediate cost savings and reduced lead times, while consistent part numbers throughout the aircraft’s lifecycle eliminating re-engineering and certification costs. Soisa ensures prompt deliveries, rapid responses to aircraft on the ground (AOG) situations, and efficient inventory management, reducing administrative burdens for airlines and OEMs.
Additionally, this new process reflects Soisa’s commitment to environmental responsibility and its expanding ESG programme. Direct procurement of materials from Soisa and reduced transit times help lower carbon emissions and the environmental impact associated with traditional procurement methods.
