Parts Control has announced a new strategic partnership with Gibson Technology, supporting the business as it continues to scale its operations and deliver world-class products and services to customers around the globe.
Gibson has built an outstanding reputation for engineering quality, technical expertise and customer service. As the organisation continues to grow, Parts Control will provide a new digital platform designed to support the complete lifecycle of their products.
As an established technology leader within the motorsport industry, Parts Control brings deep sector experience and proven results. This partnership represents another example of its mission to provide specialist technology for companies that build, maintain and support complex assets.
The partnership will bring together a full range of Parts Control solutions covering engine and component builds, inventory management, sales, asset management and ongoing customer support.
By bringing these processes together within a single unified platform, Gibson will gain greater visibility and data capture across its operations, powering the tools required to efficiently support an expanding global customer base and product portfolio.
A key focus of the long-term partnership will be the introduction of AI-enabled capabilities across Gibson's operations. Parts Control's technology will help identify opportunities, automate time-consuming processes and make better use of the operational and commercial data generated throughout the lifecycle of every part and engine.
Andrew Watson, Founder and Managing Director of Parts Control, said:
“We're incredibly proud to partner with Gibson. They're one of the great names in the global motorsport paddock. Our software will be a key transformation for them, while also pushing us to innovate, unlocking a world of joint opportunity."
"Getting to know the individuals involved over the last few months has really driven home how passionate they are to continue to deliver for their racing customers, and I believe this project will set a new benchmark in the industry."
Mark Brittan, Managing Director of Gibson Technology, said:
" Gibson's reputation has been built on delivering championship-winning engine performance, engineering excellence and exceptional customer support. As our business continues to grow and our global customer base expands, we recognised the need for a technology partner that understands the unique demands of elite motorsport and can support our ambitions for the future.
Parts Control stood out because of its deep industry expertise, clear vision and commitment to innovation. After an extensive review process, we were impressed not only by the capability of the platform, but also by Andrew and his team's understanding of how high-performance engineering businesses operate and the challenges that come with scaling successfully.
This partnership comes at an important time for Gibson as we prepare for the introduction of the next-generation LMP2 powertrain from 2028. Supporting a programme of this scale requires robust systems, complete traceability and the ability to manage increasing volumes of operational and customer data throughout the product lifecycle.
By bringing together manufacturing, engine and component builds, inventory, sales, asset management and customer support within a single platform, we will gain greater visibility across our operations while continuing to deliver the quality, reliability and service our customers expect from Gibson.
We see Parts Control as a long-term strategic partner that will support the next phase of our growth and help ensure we remain the benchmark for performance, reliability and customer service in global motorsport."
