ERP for the defence and security industry
Compartmentalisation of sensitive data, phased contracts and through-life support: the ERP that meets the requirements placed on a tier 1 or tier 2 defence supplier.
Defence
- Compartmentalisation by project and clearance
- Phased contracts and milestones
- Delivered configuration by unit
The data is itself a sensitive deliverable
In defence, a bill of material is not merely production information: it is intelligence. An ERP in which every user sees all projects is incompatible with a classified programme, or with one subject to export control.
The ITAR and EAR regimes require knowing who consulted which drawing, and restricting access according to nationality and clearance. This is not a convenience setting, it is a contractual condition.
Most ERPs treat rights as a menu of functional permissions. Defence calls for compartmentalisation by project, enforceable and logged.
Programmes that live thirty years
A defence contract runs in phases, firm then optional, with payment milestones tied to documentary deliverables as much as to physical ones. Margin is managed at completion, across several financial years.
After delivery, through-life support begins: spares, retrofits, obsolescence of components whose civil production stopped long ago. You then need to know exactly which configuration was delivered on which unit, and when.
AVIA ERP carries compartmentalisation at project level, logs consultations of sensitive documents, manages the phases and their milestones, and keeps the delivered configuration unit by unit for aftersales.
What a defence programme expects from its ERP
- Compartmentalisation by project and clearanceVisibility restricted project by project, according to clearance and nationality. Access log on sensitive documents, enforceable in audit.
- Phased contracts and milestonesFirm and optional phases, invoicing milestones tied to deliverables, progress and margin at completion across several financial years.
- Delivered configuration by unitRecording of the exact definition delivered for each serial number, the basis of any subsequent retrofit or spare.
- Through-life supportManagement of spares, returns for repair and retrofits, tied to the unit concerned and to its history.
- Long-term obsolescence watchMonitoring of end-of-life components, qualified alternatives and the build-up of last-time-buy stock.
The direct benefits for your industrial company
Compartmentalisation you can demonstrate
Access to sensitive data is restricted and proven, with no parallel procedure and no isolated server.
Margin managed at completion
Progress by phase gives the real profitability of the programme along the way, not at its close.
An aftersales that knows what was delivered
Configuration held by unit removes the investigation that preceded every intervention.
Obsolescence anticipated
End-of-life components surface before the shortage, not when the spare is ordered.
