The agreement aims to support companies in the sustainable improvement of their manufacturing, quality and MRO performance and competitiveness. The application of this partnership encompasses Western Europe and particularly France.
Gfi Business Transformation is a Management Consulting organization whose main line of development is focused on improving the performance of large, enterprise-class industrial accounts.
“Present on the Aerospace & Defense market for over 10 years with many missions carried out around the issues of cycle time reduction of supply and production, our organization has elected to implement a strategic partnership with iBase-t. This alliance will effectively meet the challenges of our clients in the areas of Manufacturing, MRO and Quality,” said Yann Begue Director of the Consulting Branch of Gfi Group.
iBase-t’s flagship product, Solumina, is a software solution that simplifies the manufacturing of complex products. Solumina enables real-time tracking and synchronization of manufacturing processes to improve quality, production execution, traceability and compliance. Industries using Solumina obtain better visibility and improved performance in production while ensuring consistent quality.
“The partnership with Gfi further extends iBase-t’s customer support capabilities in Europe,” said Conrad Leiva, Vice President Alliances at iBase-t. “We are not looking for hundreds of partners, we are looking for a few high quality strategic relationships. Gfi’s experience and longtime service with aerospace manufacturing companies is a natural fit for implementing iBase-t’s Manufacturing Operations Management software.”
Gfi and iBase-t invite their customers to a joint presentation of their capabilities and will describe the business challenges they address. This presentation will take place on April 28, 2015 in Toulouse and in Paris on May 5, 2015.
