Since 2001, NSPA has been developing and providing an automated supply chain capability in the Air Systems domain, with the end-to-end integration for systems such as the NH90 and TIGER helicopters, the A400M aircraft and the Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS). In 2020, the Agency extended this capability to Land Systems (BOXER).
The end-to-end automated and efficient electronic data processing is based on the ASD/AIA (AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe / Aerospace Industries Association of America) S2000M specification. This covers materiel management such as weapon system parts catalogues, pricing lists and the related ordering of spare parts, as well as repair services - including full order life-cycle with deliveries, transportation, invoicing and payments management.
This capability enables NSPA to be efficient, effective and responsive across all its customers and industry stakeholders, enabling them to operate through a single and automated channel.
As of today, NSPA executes – in fully automated mode - a business volume of hundreds of millions euro per year, processing tens of thousands of supply and service orders and their related invoices.
