IHS And ISO Group Join Forces To Support Mission Critical Parts Research And Procurement
Product integration allows users to order parts directly from the IHS Haystack interface
To help ensure materiel readiness and operational sustainability, IHS, the leading global source for information and analysis, and ISO Group, the leader in parts logistics for the aerospace and defense industry, have developed a tool to order parts directly from within the IHS Haystack interface. Bringing together detailed information on National Stock Numbers (NSNs), parts and their suppliers from IHS Haystack with access to ISO Group's global supply chain and preferred supplier status, the combined solution supports customers across the entire supply chain, from parts research to procurement.
"We are very excited about this partnership and the added value it brings to our IHS Haystack customers," said IHS Vice President – Design and Supply Chain, Don Lesem. "ISO Group offers a dynamic, efficient quoting and delivery system for parts, ensuring that operations can remain on schedule and within budget. Incorporating this easy-to-use order interface into IHS Haystack lets users quickly retrieve relevant search results and procure the parts necessary to support their operations."
IHS Haystack is a comprehensive parts and logistics research and management solution that provides critical, integrated and interoperable logistics information. It contains information on millions of items in the U.S. Federal Supply Catalog and more than 70 U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and related commercial databases. The subscription application's advanced search engine, indexing and cross-references allow users to quickly identify parts and suppliers in multiple databases and maximize supply chain effectiveness with up-to-date technical, availability, and pricing data.
"The partnership between IHS and ISO Group brings the supply chain full circle for IHS Haystack users," said ISO Group Vice President of Technology Michael Gibson. "Whether it's for one part or hundreds, ISO Group and IHS Haystack make it easy to get the parts you need, when you need them."
