IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that Airport Aviation (Sri Lanka) Ltd. (AASL), a Government-owned company with statutory powers to manage and develop civil airports in Sri Lanka, will deploy IFS Applications 10 as its ERP backbone for business processes such as finance, supply chain, payroll, and maintenance across its airports.

Following a comprehensive evaluation process that included a number of major ERP vendors, AASL chose IFS Applications 10 due to its versatile product features and ability to manage all core processes in a single, integrated platform. The solution will provide the company with complete process visibility in real time as well as improved information accuracy across its operations.

“We are impressed with the capabilities of IFS Applications and are delighted to work with a global ERP provider that has such a successful track record in supporting companies particularly in the aviation/aerospace and defence industry,” said AASL Executive Director Sanjeewa Wijeratne.

 “We are confident that IFS will deliver a quick and efficient project and pave the way for process improvements and enhanced efficiencies,” he added.

IFS Applications 10 will be deployed at the company’s two main international airports, Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) and Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA), along with the Colombo International Airport Ratmalana, Batticaloa International Airport, and Jaffna International Airport. 

IFS in South Asia Managing Director/VP (Sales and Marketing) Shiraz Lye said: “It is a significant milestone in our journey to provide our services to an organisation such AASL, contributing to the national economy of Sri Lanka. We are confident that IFS’s technology will bring about great improvements in efficiency, as well as greater visibility and integrity throughout the company’s vast scale of operations”.
