On Thursday, supply chain and logistics engineering company Accuris and government and commercial aviation industry supplier CTG announced they would be partnering on a new supply chain platform.
The collaboration will integrates CTG’s inventory into Accuris’ Haystack Gold logistics and supply chain management platform. The partnership will expand Haystack Gold’s sourcing capabilities beyond government and military parts to include CTG’s inventory of dual-use and commercial components.
“This collaboration between Accuris and CTG is more than an inventory expansion – it’s a strategic partnership that alleviates common supply chain challenges faced by engineers and businesses alike,” Duane Newman, Chief Product Officer at Accuris, said. “CTG has an exceptional range of parts and components that are now available through a platform known for its reliability and innovation. It’s a win-win for Haystack Gold users and the broader defense and aerospace community.”
CTG is a division of Blue Raven Solutions, and is a leading supplier to commercial and defense aircraft OEMs, MROs, and distributors, as well as government and defense agencies. Collaborating with Accuris on Haystack Gold will resolve customers’ supply chain challenges, officials said, while shortening workflows and cycle times locating elusive parts. Officials said the platform will streamline procurement through a single portal with advanced search capabilities.
“Joining forces with Accuris reflects our continuous commitment and dedication to solving supply chain challenges and increasing readiness,” Mike Boyd, CTG’s Divisional President, said. “By introducing Haystack Gold’s extensive user network to CTG’s expansive and trusted inventory of reliable, hard-to-find and obsolete parts, we offer a significant resolution to obsolescence and diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS) challenges. This collaboration is a force multiplier, substantially improving accessibility to mission-critical parts and increasing operational readiness.”
