Travel, Transportation and Logistics
(TTL) is IBS' domain of competence. IBS offers IT
products and services in six lines of business viz. Airline Passenger Services,
Airline and Airport Operations, Airline Cargo Operations, Oil & Gas
Logistics, Travel and Cruise Management.
Founded in 1997, IBS started operations by
providing turnkey solutions addressing specific areas of airline operations.
Over time this included flight operations/scheduling, passenger reservations,
departure control, airport resource management, airport ground handling, air
cargo terminal handling, ULD management, airline revenue accounting, mail
tracking, port management, voyage management, helicopter scheduling and
personnel tracking for a range of airline clients and oil & gas companies.
In 2002 IBS acquired
TopAir, a versatile and fully integrated flight management solution, from EDS,
as part of a strategic initiative to develop a complete operational solution to
cater to the needs of small and medium-sized scheduled/charter airlines. This
product is currently used by twelve airlines operating out of Europe, America and the Middle East.
In September 2003, IBS acquired Avient
Technologies from Honeywell International. The products thus acquired further
expanded IBS' portfolio of offerings. Today, Avient
Solutions is IBS' global center of excellence for flight operations and provides integrated solutions and services for
airline/airport operations.
In March 2006, IBS acquired the assets of
US-based Discovery Travel Systems, a provider of 'Business to Business' ("B2B")
travel technology systems to the cruise, tour, and vacation travel industry.
This move marked IBS' entry into the leisure travel and tour industry.
IBS has taken the initiative to develop two
new-generation products for the air transportation industry. These products are
meant to replace more expensive and less flexible legacy systems currently in
use in both passenger and cargo operations of airlines. These are:
aiRES, a comprehensive integrated Passenger Services
System developed in business collaboration with Travelport Inc. (formerly
Cendant TDS).
iCargo, a Cargo Management System that supports the
needs of the entire cargo/logistics chain from shipper to consignee. This
product includes industry best practices and comprehensive functionality,
validated by a Core Group of Influence (CGI), consisting of Air New Zealand
Cargo, South African Airways Cargo, Gulf Air, Qantas Freight and Australian air
Express.
Another major initiative by IBS is the
development of iLogistics, a first
of its kind, state-of-the-art solution designed to manage and optimize the
logistics operations of upstream oil and gas companies. iLogistics also enables
like-minded companies to share their logistics resources.
The clientele of IBS includes
major corporations like Nippon Cargo Airlines, SIEP, BP, Orbitz, Emirates,
Cathay Pacific, Iberia, Virgin America, Air Canada, Qatar Airways, SITA, EDS, London's Heathrow & Gatwick Airports, Cunard, Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Sharjah Ports Authority and
DNATA among others.
IBS has been rated among the top 8 IT start-ups from India, by
Red Herring Inc., based in California. Business Today, a leading business magazine, lists IBS in the
third position among the top 10 Indian software product companies.
