As a vertically integrated manufacturer managing long lead times and highly specialized components, clear communication and coordination with suppliers are crucial to de-risking production schedules and meeting delivery timelines aligned with national security priorities.

GA selected Ivalua for its unified, end-to-end supplier collaboration capabilities that break down silos and provide a single system of record. By centralizing supplier visibility and engagement, GA enhances collaboration, transparency, and traceability across all functions. Furthermore, Ivalua’s advanced quality assurance and compliance features, specifically tailored to the aerospace and defense sector, were key differentiators.
