Sourcemat was built on the principal that every company could use a helping hand. In an industry full of high costs and fast deadlines, material managers and maintenance supervisors are often called upon to resolve a seemingly impossible situation. To this point, traditional internet parts search databases have had limited success in obtaining parts and component maintenance, but often fell short in providing aircraft maintenance and true AOG contacts.

From years of experience, Sourcemat recognizes that parts and maintenance go hand in hand. Unfortunately one is useless without the other. Finding honest, dependable maintenance is often an uphill battle, if not completely forgone as impossible. Thus, busted trips, recovery aircraft, and sending your own maintenance personnel on an airline flight builds in even more costs and lost revenue. Sadly, this scenario seems to be the norm and it doesn't need to be. We are a community of individual, high-quality; talented companies built on the same principals. If we pull together to facilitate parts and maintenance with like-minded individuals who truly know what "AOG" means, the industry will not only reduce its costs, but will flourish in efficiency.
