IBS to deploy AvientCrew solution

Technopark-based IBS Software has been picked by Malaysian Airlines (MAS) for a long term contract for deploying its crew management system, AvientCrew.

The deal inked in Kulala Lumpur aimed at providing MAS with increased efficiency and reduced cost of operation. This single integrated solution from IBS will replace the two different crew management systems that are currently being used by MAS to manage its technical crew and cabin crew rosters. While the current system at MAS uses a combination of manual and IT-based systems, the new system from IBS will automate the entire crew management and tracking process facilitating crew pairing, rostering, tracking and manpower planning.

The official said that IBS AvientCrew will optimise crew utilization, improve crew productivity, reduce disruption costs and streamline administrative processes and will be fully implemented at MAS in four phases over the next two years. This solution is already being used by six major airlines that include Emirates, Jet Airways and Cathay Pacific among others.

V K Mathews, Chairman & CEO of IBS Group, said, “We are delighted that Malaysia Airlines has chosen us as a partner in their drive to increase efficiency and reduce operational costs. The operational agility and productivity of the Airlines crew will, I am sure, be further enhanced with the implementation of AvientCrew”.
