The seating systems comprise a seat module and a seat track assembly comprising a plurality of seat-receiving regions, a seat track, and an electrical distribution system. The electrical distribution system comprises a plurality of track electrical contacts disposed along the seat track in the seat-receiving regions. The seat module comprises a base coupler configured to couple with the seat track at any seat-receiving region and a seat module electrical system having a seat electrical contact. The base coupler and the seat track are configured to position the seat electrical contact in connection with the track electrical contact of any seat-receiving region to which the base coupler is coupled. The methods comprise coupling the base coupler to a seat-receiving region, which comprises forming a connection between the seat electrical contact and the respective track electrical contact of the seat-receiving region, and providing electricity to the seat module via the electrical connection.
