On September 1st, we kicked off this year’s Addovation Consultant Program and welcomed six new colleagues to the team. Throughout the program, they will get an in-depth introduction to Addovation, the consultant role, and our solutions within IFS and NetSuite.
Why a Consultant Program?
The aim of the program is to build on our participants’ existing experience and equip them with the tools to grow into skilled Business Consultants. Through a combination of onboarding, mentorship, and hands-on customer projects, they will have a unique opportunity to develop and make a real impact.
We are excited to welcome our new colleagues on board and look forward to following their journey with us!
Better Together 2025
Our yearly conference this year happened in Skövde at Billingehus!
We’ve just returned from our annual conference – Better Together 2025!
On September 11–12, around 200 of our Nordic colleagues came together at Billingehus in Skövde. The two days were packed with inspiration, insights, and meaningful discussions about change, growth, and what “Together” truly means at Addovation.
In the evenings, we celebrated each other, reconnected, and enjoyed spending time with colleagues we don’t get to meet often enough.
We had the opportunity to hear the great conductor Kristofer Wåhlander speak about the striking parallels between a symphony orchestra and a business corporation.

Consolis’ Digital Transformation with Addovation’s Expertise
We are thrilled to share that TU.no has published an insightful article about Consolis’ recent upgrade to IFS Cloud™, a project proudly supported by Addovation. The construction industry in 2024 faces numerous challenges, including increased costs, lower demand, and the pressing need for sustainability.
Consolis, a key player in the European and North African markets for prefabricated concrete elements, is addressing these challenges head-on with innovative solutions and a strong commitment to reducing CO2 emissions.
A Strategic Partnership for Sustainability
Consolis is dedicated to helping its customers reduce emissions through the production of prefabricated concrete elements. These elements are manufactured in factories and then transported to construction sites for assembly, streamlining processes and enhancing sustainability.
With operations in 17 countries, Consolis faces significant coordination and logistical challenges, particularly for its IT department. Radboud Wijnen, CIO at Consolis, has leveraged his extensive experience to lead the company’s digital transformation. Under his guidance, Consolis has focused on upgrading to the ERP system IFS Cloud™, with Addovation providing crucial support throughout the process.
Local Focus, Global Integration
Consolis emphasizes the importance of local markets while ensuring global integration. The IT teams work on both local tasks and broader service delivery, supported by a flexible and efficient IT infrastructure. Wijnen highlights the importance of a flat organizational structure and the trust placed in the IT teams to manage themselves effectively. He states, “The IT teams don’t need to be in the offices at all times. I myself am based in Barcelona, and I believe in a flat organizational structure. We should have fun at work, but we should also deliver, and we see that management trusts us.”
Implementing IFS Cloud™ for Enhanced Efficiency
The upgrade to IFS Cloud marks a significant step in Consolis’ digital transformation. This upgrade aims to standardize and enhance functionality across all markets, starting with a pilot project in Sweden. The project was designed to be completed within six months, with clear objectives and excellent cooperation between Consolis and Addovation. Wijnen explains, “The project was very clear from start to finish, and we had excellent cooperation with Addovation. It was important for us to implement right out of the box without writing extra code, and Addovation delivered on that.”
The results of the upgrade are already evident. Consolis’ IT architecture is now simpler, allowing users to access necessary data directly from IFS Cloud. This improvement has enhanced control over financial aspects and overall operations, providing the simplicity, precision, and timing needed in today’s market. Wijnen notes, “Our IT architecture has become simpler. Before, we had to live with different systems that you had to go into and check data. Now users can just go into IFS Cloud and retrieve what they need.”
Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability remains a top priority for Consolis. The company offers the Green Spine Line®, a product series with low-emission products that use less cement and are lighter. The upgrade to IFS Cloud supports Consolis’ sustainability goals by facilitating easier data extraction for sustainability reports and integrating applications for seamless operations. Wijnen emphasizes, “Part of the strategy is to be able to extract all the data we use for sustainability reports more easily. IFS Cloud is very sophisticated when it comes to quick access to data and integrating applications that make it even more seamless.”
Looking Ahead
As Consolis continues to modernize its operations, the pilot project with IFS Cloud is just the beginning. Wijnen concludes, “We are spread across Europe, and we are in full swing modernizing to make everyday life greener and more focused.”
At Addovation, we are proud to have played a key role in Consolis’ journey towards a more sustainable and efficient future. Our collaboration with Consolis demonstrates the power of innovative IT solutions in transforming industries and achieving ambitious sustainability goals. We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting Consolis in their ongoing digital transformation.
