Inventory Locator Service and ProvenAir Technologies Announce Strategic Integration to Streamline Aircraft Maintenance Record Management

Chicago, IL – April 8th, 2025— Inventory Locator Service (ILS), the leading digital marketplace and supply chain platform for the aviation industry, and ProvenAir Technologies (PAT), a pioneer in digitizing back-to-birth traceability (BtB) for aircraft maintenance records, have announced a new integration. This collaboration aims to revolutionize how aviation professionals manage, share, and verify component documentation. This partnership enables ILS users to seamlessly access PAT's powerful trace document management and digital BtB record platform directly through the ILS ecosystem. Buyers, sellers, and operators can verify the integrity of trace documentation—improving transaction speed, compliance confidence, and audit readiness.

“In an industry where paper trails still dominate critical processes, our partnership with ProvenAir represents a leap forward in digitizing and modernizing how records and parts are managed and exchanged,” said Rob Suhs, Global VP of Sales of ILS. “Together, we’re helping to eliminate friction in procurement and compliance workflows.”

The integration will provide ILS users:

• Visibility into suppliers with digital trace documentation for listed components on ILS

• Ability to validate trace documents with ProvenAir’s quality assurance tools

• Reduced time and risk in transactions through ProvenAir’s dynamic algorithm ensuring documentation accuracy and completeness

Mark Harris, CEO of Stratus Aero Partners says, "The new integration with ProvenAir has revolutionized our supply chain and sales operations. By providing buyers with clear evidence that our listed units are in stock and accompanied by all necessary paperwork, this partnership significantly enhances our visibility and transaction efficiency. ProvenAir’s commitment to excellence in procurement and client service is unmistakably reflected in this innovative collaboration."

“ProvenAir was founded to solve a very frustrating and persistent challenge in commercial aviation: the painful, manual process of trace validation,” said Jim Boccarossa, CEO of ProvenAir Technologies. “By partnering with ILS, we’re bringing digital traceability to the forefront of the world’s most trusted aviation marketplace—right where the industry needs it.”

This integration reflects both companies’ shared commitment to leveraging technology to improve transparency, efficiency, and confidence across the aviation supply chain.
