Source One Spares

Our Client

Aviation aftermarket supplier, Source One Spares, supporting both commercial aviation and major defense programs including the U.S. Air Force KC-46 had strong operational expertise that provided clear upside in evolving its internal technology capabilities.

Starting as a team of one, Ananya built the technology capability from the ground up. Over the following years she expanded it into a dedicated team of five, modernized the company’s systems, and positioned technology at the center of how the business operates. 

Today, technology touches nearly every part of the organization — from sales and operations to finance and analytics — enabling Source One Spares to scale its complex aerospace supply operations. 

Challenges 

When Ananya first arrived, the company relied heavily on manual workflows and spreadsheets to manage key business processes. 

“When I joined , the technology function was just getting started, with many processes initially managed through Excel”. 

As the business grew, these manual processes began creating friction across departments. Sales, operations, and finance often struggled to track the lifecycle of parts across multiple transactions. 

In particular, Source One Spares needed a way to connect three critical elements of every order: 

• Sales Orders (SO) 

• Purchase Orders (PO) 

• Repair Orders (RO)

Without a unified way to link these together, teams were constantly searching across systems to understand where parts were in the lifecycle. 

“There wasn’t any common field connecting those order types together to tell the story of when a part was sold, purchased, and repaired.” 

At the same time, the company was undertaking a major system transformation — migrating from a legacy ERP to AvSight on Salesforce, a much more modern and flexible platform. 

Solution 

Source One led the modernization effort internally, working with cross-department subject matter experts to migrate from the legacy Quantum system to AvSight on Salesforce. 

Once the new platform was in place, the team began automating key workflows across the business. 

One of the most impactful initiatives was the development of a Sales Checklist system — designed to replace a manual email process used to notify departments when sales transactions occurred. 

To deliver the solution, Source One partnered with Prodigy, who helped design and build a custom system within Salesforce that connects the full lifecycle of a transaction 

The solution brought together: 

• Sales orders 

• Purchase orders 

• Repair orders 

• Operational and financial reporting 

All in a single view. 

“The solution provides a single, unified view of all key transaction details” 

Prodigy worked closely with Ananya and the team to deliver a complex technical build involving new objects, workflows, reporting structures, and automation logic. 

Impact 

The new system dramatically improved operational visibility across the business. 

Before the project, teams often struggled to track the status of parts or identify issues quickly. 

Today, Source One Spares has a unified operational view across departments. 

“Before, we couldn’t really trace where a part was. Now we can track it very well.” 

Key outcomes include: 

• End-to-end visibility across the part lifecycle 

• Improved reporting and dashboards 

• Faster identification of delays or operational issues 

• Better coordination between sales, operations, and finance 

The impact has been particularly valuable for complex government orders involving multiple parts and transactions. 

“Seeing everything aligned on one page really helped our government team members.” 

The system has become a central operational tool inside the business. 

On Working with Prodigy 

For Source One, Prodigy became a trusted partner in solving complex technical challenges. 

“Prodigy has a great team — very talented people.” 

Throughout the engagement she worked closely with multiple members of the Prodigy team and highlighted the responsiveness and expertise they brought to the project. 

“Every time I reached out, the team was wonderful.” 

Beyond the sales checklist project, Prodigy also played a critical role in helping Source One Spares complete a complex migration to Salesforce GovCloud, supporting both the platform transition and accounting system integration. 

“They really helped take us to the finish line.” 

Today the partnership continues as both organizations grow — collaborating on new technology initiatives to further scale Source One Spares’ operations.
