Dassault Aviation Falcon Spares manages 80,000+ spare parts and 200,000 annual shipments for 1,950 Falcon jets. Legacy mainframe and client-server systems isolated data across sites, forcing staff to query multiple ERPs. EXALEAD federated search and natural language processing delivered a single interface over heterogeneous databases, enabling managers and non-technical users to locate parts quickly. The same platform now supports faceted analytics, photo-linked catalogs, and planned military diagnostics for Rafale aircraft.

Key takeaways

On-time spare parts delivery improved from 65% to 98% after unified search deployment

EXALEAD indexes 300,000 part references and 730 million USD catalog value across 13 global sites

Single intuitive interface replaced queries across multiple ERP and legacy systems

Faceted search and NLP allow managers to analyze usage history and refine results without coding
