Case Study: Inflight Entertainment Systems achieves compliant contractor management with CXC Global

Compliant Transition of Aerospace Tech Talentfor Inflight Entertainment Leaders

Inflight Entertainment Systems, an international leader in inflight entertainment and connectivity, needed a compliant way to manage more than 20 self-sourced contractors across Central and South America. The company had been paying workers as freelance or independent contractors with little compliance oversight, and it lacked local offices, regional employment knowledge, and support for airport-access-related screening requirements. CXC Global was brought in to help transition these workers to an employed contractor model.

CXC Global implemented a compliant contractor management and payroll solution across five countries, handling vetting, onboarding, local currency payments, centralized USD invoicing, IP/confidentiality protections, PTO and 13th-month pay administration, and audit defense. The result was a smoother, legally compliant workforce transition with improved contractor experience, cost effectiveness, and ongoing compliance support. The partnership has been successful enough that the contract has been renewed twice since inception.
