ILS (Inventory Locator Service)
ILS (Inventory Locator Service) is one of the main online platforms where aircraft parts suppliers list inventory and buyers search for parts and send RFQs. Operating since 1979, it connects thousands of trading companies, airlines, and repair stations worldwide. For many parts desks, ILS and similar platforms such as PartsBase generate a large share of the daily inbound RFQ volume.
