IFS, a provider of industrial software, has partnered with the Cadillac Formula 1 Team ahead of its debut in Formula 1.
In addition to IFS software being used as part of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team’s core operations, the partnership will also see IFS branding featured across a platform of Team assets, including placements on the race cars, drivers’ and official Team apparel.
As Cadillac Formula 1 Team’s official technology partner, IFS is used across multiple areas of the team. The phased rollout, which began even before the team was granted formal entry to the sport, with core financials and procurement capabilities, expanded to include supply chain, production and quality management. By supporting areas like inventory and engineering management, IFS’s technology ensures that critical parts are available when the Team need them.
By optimising resources and enabling real-time decision-making, IFS is empowering Cadillac Formula 1 Team to make informed decisions on car design and for race operations. These capabilities streamline operations, reduce manual processes, and enable automation – critical for meeting Formula 1’s strict cost cap and technical regulations – so that the Team can perform when it matters most on track.
“IFS has been instrumental in helping Cadillac Formula 1 Team launch the first new Team to enter Formula 1 for over a decade. We decided to implement IFS early on in our journey – before we even had entry confirmed. It’s helped us rapidly scale our operations by providing tools to establish best practices, manage complexity, and accelerate innovation,” Cadillac Formula 1 Team head of commercial strategy Tyler Epp said.
“From supply chain to engineering, IFS software is helping us make smarter decisions so we can focus on what matters most: building a competitive car and delivering results on the track,” Epp added.
“The Cadillac Formula 1 team is making a bold entry into one of the world’s fastest growing and most popular sporting platforms. Formula 1 is a sport where milliseconds matter, and technology can make the difference between winning and losing,” IFS CEO Mark Moffat said.
“By embedding IFS into Cadillac Formula 1 Team’s operations, we’re helping the Team gain greater agility, optimise resources, and push the boundaries of performance. We are proud to continue to support Cadillac Formula 1 on this journey from both a technical perspective, as well as with a multitude of brand activations,” Moffat added.
