b2b-aero Joins Lufthansa Technik's Platform AVIATAR

Lufthansa Technik enriches the product portfolio of its digital 
AVIATAR platform. Repair data and tracking management provider 
b2b-aero has integrated its fast-growing 'Capabilities App' solution 
into Lufthansa Technik's open, modular and neutral platform AVIATAR. 

The Capabilities App by b2b-aero enables users to find and compare 
offerings for test, repair & overhaul services for specific part 
numbers of aircraft part numbers. By consolidating relevant 
information of the part and the supplier portfolio, it makes deep 
industry knowledge on pricing, repair station performance and 
certifications accessible. Finally, the app offers the functionality 
to send requests for quotes (RFQs) to selected suppliers and to 
manage proposals online. More than 620 repair stations are currently 
listing more than 3.3 million capabilities and over 10,000 PDF 
Certificates from various authorities. Each month about 10,000 RFQs 
are being sent to customers around the world.

ecosystem. Known as the leading repair data and tracking provider of
