Aerospace ERP Guide
This guide covers what aerospace ERP must do, the vendor landscape, the selection criteria used by procurement teams, and the reference architecture inside which aerospace ERP typically operates.
Scope
Aerospace ERP runs the financial, project, manufacturing and supply backbone of aerospace organizations. It carries an unusually high regulatory and traceability burden compared to general manufacturing ERP.
Vendor landscape
SAP S/4HANA, IFS Cloud, Oracle Fusion Cloud, Infor CloudSuite Aerospace & Defense and Plex Systems dominate aerospace ERP shortlists, with selection driven by company size, existing landscape, and MES / QMS integration preferences.
Architecture
Aerospace ERP rarely operates alone. The typical reference architecture combines ERP with PLM (Teamcenter, 3DEXPERIENCE or Aras), MES, and an AS9100-aligned QMS.
