What is new: repair capabilities, one-file inventory feeds, RFQs near you, and the record in your spreadsheet
Two weeks of building, in one place: repair stations can list what they overhaul and appear beside the sellers who have the part; inventory loads itself from the export you already make; every open DLA solicitation now says where it ships and how far that is from you; and one Excel formula pulls the record into your own sheet.
