BOEING reached an annual record of US$2 billion in online orders last year, reports the American Journal of Commerce.
The record was field from digital tools, with Boeing selling 70,000 parts products through its e-commerce site to commercial and government customers, eclipsing pre-Covid crisis levels.
"Our $2 billion closeout to 2021 was a great capstone as the market heads to a more stable recovery," said Boeing Global Services CEO Ted Colbert.
"Our e-commerce capabilities are a great example of the digital solutions we provide to enable industry recovery and growth. Our focus as always is on bringing value through our products and services, and we will continue to partner with our customers as they navigate this dynamic environment."
Boeing's online revenue last year was 15 per cent higher compared to pre-Covid crisis levels, while orders were 20 per cent higher.
Said Boeing Global Services vice president of parts, distribution services, and supply chain William Ampofo: "Boeing is improving e-commerce with our customers in mind,"
"In addition to launching new digital tools, we are creating a more streamlined process for our customers by realigning strategy, programme, and product line management with supply chain and customer support. We will continue to focus on digital and performance improvements, along with simplifying how we engage with our customers."
