AAR has acquired Miami-based Trax, a leading independent provider of aircraft MRO and fleet management software.
The acquisition will help accelerate AAR’s strategy to offer digital solutions focused on its core aviation aftermarket customers. Trax will add its established aviation market software to AAR’s portfolio, providing opportunities to cross-sell products and services.
Supporting around 5,000 aircraft, Trax offers software applications to a number of global airlines, MROs and government aircraft operators. Its eMRO product is a web-based enterprise MRO software solution for managing aircraft maintenance and fleet management.
Its eMobility products provide a suite of mobile applications, including task cards, digital manuals, electronic log books, fleet status, and warehouse management.
AAR is a global aerospace and defence aftermarket company, with operations in over 20 countries, supporting customers through Aviation Services and Expeditionary Services.
John M. Holmes, AAR’s Chairman, President, and CEO, said: “We believe we can support Trax’s continued growth by investing in its platforms and by leveraging our global relationships to help Trax reach additional customers. We also believe that over time this combination will allow more customers to better access AAR’s parts and services offerings as Trax is the materials management system used by thousands of buyers and planners at airlines around the world.”
“Trax has led the industry in developing next-generation maintenance ERP systems for over 20 years. By combining two leading independent aftermarket services providers, we create a compelling and unique offering to support the global aviation industry. We are excited to partner with AAR to further accelerate Trax’s growth and development,” said Jose Almeida, Trax’s CEO.
