MRO 2025 Day 2: The Shift from Talk to Traction
🔥 TL;DR Recap:
- Fast quoting, smarter workflows, real-time visibility are hitting hard
- ERP.Aero is landing as the platform that just makes sense
- Day 2 had more qualified convos than any event in company history
- We’re just getting started
What a Day
There’s something special about Day 2 at a show like MRO.
The handshakes get warmer. The questions get sharper. The “just browsing” crowd becomes “let’s talk Monday.”
If Day 1 was electric, Day 2 was alignment.
➝➝➝ And for us at ERP.Aero, it was one of the most energizing, affirming days we’ve ever had on a convention floor.
New Conversations, New Doors Opening
Today wasn’t about standing around hoping people stopped by.
It was about people walking straight up and saying:
“We saw the demo yesterday. We thought about it overnight. We need this.”
Some were MROs from the Midwest. Others were parts suppliers we’d never spoken with.
A few even told us, “We were trying to avoid ERP vendors this week — until someone told us to come see you.”
That’s when you know the message is landing.
And what’s wild? We had more next-step conversations today alone than any day we’ve ever had at a show.
More scheduled follow-ups. More alignment. More people saying yes, this is what we’ve been waiting for.
When Real Needs Meet Real Tools
It’s easy to list features. It’s hard to build something that makes people feel understood.
That’s what Day 2 proved: we’re not just showing screens — we’re solving stress.
We watched a parts director light up as our team walked him through RFQs that build themselves using margin rules, pricing logic, and historical data — in seconds.
We walked through quoting flows with a very well known supplier who said:
“This would save us at least 8 hours a week, just on quoting.”
And it wasn’t about automation for automation’s sake. It was about freeing up their team — so they can focus on what actually moves the business.
No retyping. No modules to memorize. No middleware just to push a quote out the door.
That’s the magic. And people felt it.
ERP.Aero’s Sweet Spot: Right Place, Right Time, Right Fit
This industry is fast. It’s specialized. It’s unforgiving.
And legacy ERPs just don’t cut it anymore.
The companies we talked to today didn’t need to be sold on the pain. They’re living it.
What they’re looking for is something purpose-built. Aviation-native. That doesn’t require three consultants, two integrations, six months of onboarding, and endless add-ons.
They want to scale without hiring a ton of people. They want visibility across quoting, inventory, sourcing, and compliance — in one place.
And most importantly? They want it now.
“We thought this level of ERP was out of reach for our size.”
“This is the first system we’ve seen that just makes sense.”
What People Are Really Asking For
Here’s what kept coming up:
- “How fast can we go live?”
- “Will my team actually use it?”
- “Do I need IT involved every time I need to change something?”
- “Can we roll this out without a 40-hour training course?”
These questions aren’t about bells and whistles. They’re about fatigue.
Fatigue from complexity. From paying for features no one uses. From trying to modernize with tools that were built for someone else.
And that’s why we were there — to show that it doesn’t have to be that way anymore.
The Signal is Clear: It’s Time
This wasn’t just a great day for ERP.Aero.
It was a signal from the market.
Aviation businesses — big and small — are ready to stop fighting with their systems.
They’re ready to move faster. Smarter. And they’re done waiting for 12-month “phased rollouts.”
We heard it in the way people asked questions. We saw it in the way they looked at the screen.
And we felt it in the energy of every follow-up conversation we booked.
They’re not looking for ERP.
They’re looking for relief.
And when they see ERP.Aero in action, they get it.
Closing: Building the Future, One Conversation at a Time
By the end of the day, we had dozens of qualified conversations under our belt — and several already lining up demos for next week. We shook hands on new partnerships. We took notes on what people need. We built relationships that are going to matter long after the show ends.
This isn’t just about what we built. It’s about the people we’re building it with.
So if we talked today — thank you.
If you stopped by and stayed for a demo — thank you.
If you’re still thinking about it — we’re here when you’re ready.
And if you’re in Atlanta this week and we haven’t met yet?
Let’s fix that. Call me directly: 305-209-3789. See you at the Setna.io event at MB Stadium tonight.
Day 2 is a wrap — but the conversations? They’re just getting started.
Today wasn’t just about features or demos. It was about connection — real people sharing real challenges, and seeing real possibilities. We had moments today we won’t forget, and based on the energy on the floor, we’re not alone.
We’ll be here for Day 3 — same mission, same momentum, more great people to meet. If you’re still in town, swing by. Let’s talk about what’s next.
