“With Rootstock ERP now live, we have stronger visibility into the operational drivers of our business — from material planning to labor allocation,” said Albert Leon, Chief Information Officer at HRD Aero Systems, the parent company of AETC. “This insight is critical in a build-to-order environment like ours, where understanding true production costs and lead times directly impacts pricing, delivery, and long-term scalability. Rootstock gives us a strong planning foundation as we continue to grow.”

Because AETC operates in highly regulated markets, it requires a secure cloud environment aligned with its compliance needs. As such, the company deployed Rootstock ERP in Salesforce Government Cloud (https://www.salesforce.com/government/cloud/), ensuring the platform supports U.S. government security and compliance requirements and operates with the highest levels of privacy, performance, and reliability.

Caroline Marty, SVP of Global Professional Services & Enablement (https://www.rootstock.com/about-erp-software-company/management-team/) at Rootstock, commented on this customer’s success: “AETC has expanded its product lines, moved into new markets, and increased production volumes. To support ongoing execution at this level, the company needed a robust operational backbone. By deploying Rootstock, they now have in place a modern ERP that delivers real-time insights and strengthens alignment across manufacturing, finance, and leadership teams. We’re honored to support their team as they continue to innovate and deliver mission-critical products.”
