CHALLENGES

Challenges Folio3 Solves for Aerospace and Defense Companies

Aerospace and defense companies operate in one of the most complex and highly regulated business environments. Folio3 helps them navigate the complexities of the environment. Here are the challenges faced that Folio3 helps resolve by implementing the NetSuite Defense and Aerospace ERP:

01

Complex Contract Management
Disconnected systems and spreadsheets make it difficult to understand program performance and profitability in real time.

02

Limited Program Cost Visibility
Without synchronization, finance and program managers cannot accurately track actuals, commitments, forecasts, and variances.

03

Contracting Requirements
Government contractors face strict requirements around financial reporting. Manual processes increase the risk of inconsistent data and errors.

04

Fragmented Data and Systems
Finance, procurement, and other teams rely on multiple systems. When these apps don't sync, teams spend much time reconciling data.

05

Compliance Requirements
DCAA, DFARS, CMMC, ITAR, EAR, AS9100, and customer-specific controls create significant demands around data access and audit trails.

06

Long and Complex Supply Chains
Limited visibility into supplier commitments, purchasing, inventory, and material availability creates cost overruns and program delays.

Folio3 has been very helpful for on-time delivery of all our projects. I am grateful for the quickness & quality of work provided. We continue to rely on them during tight timelines & they deliver with accuracy.
