April 11, 2011 — Miami — Southwest Airlines and TRAX USA Corp announced that the carrier has selected TRAX to provide its new ERP MRO solution.
“We need a solution that makes our Mechanics’ jobs easier, while at the same time enhances Safety and Culture,” said Brian Hirshman, Southwest’s VP M&E.
The project will be implemented over a two year period and will allow Southwest to benefit from having information about their aircraft, inventory, and maintenance activities integrated into a single system, streamlining aircraft maintenance and inventory planning processes. In addition, by delivering an ERP MRO solution, SWA will realize a substantial yearly cost savings by retiring many existing applications.
