Case Study: A leading US aerospace and defense company simplifies supply chain management with Craft

US aerospace giant turns to Craft to simplify its complex supply chain management

Craft worked with a leading US aerospace and defense company, an S&P 100 organization managing a global supply chain of more than 30,000 suppliers. The company needed better visibility, monitoring, and risk detection across its supplier base, along with insight into alternate companies supporting existing suppliers. It turned to Craft’s supplier intelligence platform to improve data quality and uncover hard-to-track signals beyond traditional sources.

Craft provided enterprise GraphQL API access, alternative data, and more than 300 refreshed data points to help the company build an internal insights platform that executives could query 24/7. After an initial trial in one division, the solution expanded to 4,000 suppliers and then to the full supplier base of more than 30,000. Craft also added custom data types and helped the customer identify suppliers and alternates within 12 hours of manufacturing centers, strengthening supply chain resilience and supporting ongoing decision-making.
