Despite supply chain disruptions impacting the manufacturing industry, we had a fantastic year thanks to our amazing Airline Hydraulics team, partners, and the customers we serve, Here is a look at a few of our favorite moments from 2022 Airline by the numbers and a few of our favorite moments from 2022.
Todd Schnirel, Airline's Director of Business Development & Agility, adds:
"In 2022, our internal website team continued to enrich the information about our products, including images, technical specifications, features, and documentation. The team created substitute recommendations for discontinued or long lead time parts and the "Notify Me" button to request emails when parts become available.
Also, the order look-up and tracking can be done from the header on any page with or without logging in. Additionally, the improved "My Account" section with shopping lists, previous orders, customer part numbers, previous quotes, and so much more. And lastly, the enhanced search features to find the parts you need faster."
With over 255 brands on our line card, Airline can specify, stock, and support the factory stock you need to get the job done. Over the past year, Airline has invested more than $37 million in inventory as a stocking distributor.
