Recognition highlights cross-functional innovation, customer partnership, and measurable impact on operational efficiency
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (May 7, 2026) — Veryon, a leading provider of aviation software and information services, announced that its ground support equipment solution, Veryon GSE (formerly EBIS GSE), has been awarded the Best All-Around Vendor honor at the Alaska Air Group GSE Summit 2026.
The award recognizes partners who go beyond traditional vendor relationships to deliver measurable operational impact and long-term strategic value.
“The Best All-Around Vendor is more than a supplier. They are a true strategic partner who listens, adapts quickly, and delivers solutions that make our operation safer and more efficient,” said Mehdi Jnah, Director of GSE, Alaska Airlines. “From simplifying service requests for our ramp teams to improving how we track and respond to equipment issues, Veryon GSE has helped us move toward a more proactive, data-driven maintenance strategy.”
What began as a need to simplify service requests and improve visibility into equipment issues evolved into a set of scalable capabilities, including QR code-enabled access for ramp teams, enhanced tracking of red-tagged equipment, and stronger feedback loops between operations and maintenance. These improvements have helped Alaska Air Group capture more consistent data and respond to issues more effectively in real time.
Veryon GSE has also strengthened fleet visibility through automatic in-service reporting, giving teams the insights needed to move from reactive maintenance to a more proactive approach. With better access to equipment data, Alaska Air Group has been able to identify trends earlier, improve decision-making, and maintain tighter control over fleet performance.
“This award reflects what’s possible when product innovation is guided by real operational needs,” said Santosh Nachu, Vice President of Growth and Integration at Veryon. “Our teams partnered closely with Alaska Air Group to deliver solutions that not only address immediate challenges but also support long-term performance and reliability.”
Veryon’s support was especially critical during the integration of Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Through system upgrades, targeted enhancements, training, and hands-on collaboration, Veryon helped maintain operational continuity while enabling both organizations to continue moving forward.
The recognition highlights a broader shift across aviation, where operators are prioritizing partners who bring flexibility, responsiveness, and a willingness to co-develop solutions. Veryon’s approach reflects that model, combining technology innovation with deep customer collaboration to drive measurable results.
