Research abstract

Inkit’s Reach Enablement Platform (REP) will save the Air Force millions of dollars through the streamlined process for spare part sourcing and ordering. Inkit’s software product suite enables end-users (in this instance, maintainers and CE personnel) to place automated digital orders to a network of configurable 3rd-party vendors. Not only does it allow efficiency regarding end-user and vendor coordination and collaboration, but it can also automate procurement workflows to assist the contracting officer in the issuance of purchase orders or contracts. Leveraging the Industrial Prime Vendor (IPV) contracting strategy, Inkit’s software can automate the placement of orders and provide a system capable of streamlining bench stock or CE parts orders that are already on contract. Through Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Inkit’s REP will learn and optimize orders placed to ensure that stock levels are never depleted.
