AVIATION WEEK launched MRO Prospector, a Web-based suite of data and tools for business development and benchmarking in the commercial aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul industry. Built through a partnership with TeamSAI and Ascend, MRO Prospector contains exclusive MRO industry data and tools that provide users with up-to-date, actionable information about MRO companies and their needs.

MRO Prospector consists of two modules, Business Development and Benchmarks, which can be purchased separately or together. With these modules, users can pinpoint when specific customers will need parts and/or service for specific aircraft or engines; track MRO activity and monitor the competition; generate targeted sales and marketing lists; prepare market forecasts; and benchmark costs, reliability and performance.

TeamSAI, a business innovation consulting firm specializing in strategic and tactical management operations in the aviation sector, and Ascend, a global aerospace specialist that provides information and consultancy services to the global aerospace industry, will provide key data, analysis and support for MRO Prospector.
