Good evening, My name is Vince Mariano, I am the President of MRO Exchange LLC - we are the owners and designer of the website MROmarketplace.com, and I am joined here by my colleague and COO Asher Ben Basat. We are grateful for the opportunity to pitch our startup company at AeroInnovate’s Pitch and Mingle event.
MROmarketplace.com is an online B2B website that facilitates aircraft maintenance transactions for aircraft owners & operators by providing a platform for them to post their maintenance projects online (full workscope & related RFP/RFQ documentation) to receive inquiries & quotes from MRO service providers in real time.
MROmarketplace.com enables owner-operators to more fully canvass the global MRO market and identify the best MRO or aviation service provider for their maintenance projects. By obtaining multiple maintenance quotes in a shorter timeframe, owner/operators can quickly compare & evaluate which MRO is most capable and available for a project and reduce lead time.
Our website makes money two ways- first, by charging a one-time fee to an aircraft owner operator each time they post a maintenance project, and second by charging subscription fees to MROs to access the details of posted maintenance projects.
MROmarketplace.com is a growing and identifiable brand and domain name in the aviation industry. If there is one key point for you to remember about our startup, it is this-, there is currently no established, centralized website that links the MRO global market together for the purpose of facilitating aircraft maintenance transactions.
Our platform has launched, is fully operational, and we have the “first mover” advantage along with our identifiable brand name that has over 200 registered users, 50 MROs, and 40 airlines and lessors.
The manner in which aircraft owners/operators identify MROs for their maintenance projects remains outdated and inefficient. Many owner/operators limit their MRO options because they don’t fully canvass the global market to identify the best MRO for their maintenance project.
Typically, a single MRO is utilized or a limited group of MROs are solicited via an RFP.
As a result, owner operators are neglecting many alternative MRO service providers who may submit a quote with more preferable terms or slot.
MROs are adding certifications and capabilities, but many owner operators aren’t aware of these additions.
The solution is to facilitate information exchange between MROs and Owner/operators to provide them with more accurate information to make more informed decisions.
How will all of this forecasted MRO work be efficiently routed to the best MRO provider without e-procurement?
