IFS acquires EmpowerMX to bolster its aviation sector offering

EmpowerMX, which is a business management software provider for airlines, defense, and enterprises that offer MRO services, will aid IFS in reaching more customers and offer more industry-specific specialized services, Pinder explained.

The company’s software suite helps with tasks such as configuration management, supply chain management, heavy maintenance, and planning, among others.

CIOs involved in the sector are keen to implement similar tools as they face multiple challenges such as supply chain disruption, labor and skills shortages, capacity shortfall, and compliance, all impacting operational efficiency and profitability, Pinder said.
