The Cadillac Formula 1 Team has announced a strategic partnership with IFS, confirming the industrial software specialist as their official technology partner as preparations continue for the team’s highly anticipated entry into Formula 1.
The agreement brings IFS into the core operational structure of the new team, with its software already deployed across multiple functions.
The rollout began before Cadillac received formal confirmation of its entry into Formula 1, initially covering core financial and procurement systems before expanding into supply chain management, production and quality control.
The platform now also supports inventory, engineering and manufacturing processes, ensuring critical components are available when required.
By enabling real-time data access and decision-making, IFS is playing a central role in helping the Cadillac Formula 1 Team optimise resources and manage complexity under Formula 1’s cost cap and technical regulations.
The software is designed to streamline operations, reduce manual processes and introduce greater automation, supporting both car development and race operations as the team builds towards its first season on the grid.
Tyler Epp, Global Head of Commercial Strategy at the Cadillac Formula 1 Team, said the partnership had been foundational to the project’s early growth.He explained: “IFS has been instrumental in helping the 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.
“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.”IFS will help Cadillac push boundaries
IFS Chief Executive Officer Mark Moffat said the partnership places the company at the heart of one of the most demanding environments in global sport.
He commented: “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.
“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.”
He added that IFS was proud to support the project “from both a technical perspective, as well as with a multitude of brand activations”.
In addition to its role in day-to-day operations, the partnership includes a significant brand presence.
IFS branding will feature across a range of Cadillac Formula 1 Team assets, including the race cars, drivers’ overalls and official team apparel, further underlining the long-term and integrated nature of the agreement as Cadillac builds towards its Formula 1 debut.
