Empowering Customers: Addovation becomes IFS System Integrator in the Nordic countries

The new partnership between IFS and Addovation is all about playing on each other’s strengths. IFS provides a “state of the art” business solution, and Addovation adds their extensive experience in helping businesses capitalize on digital technologies to drive growth and efficiency.

Addovation already has an impressive track record in successful IFS Cloud™ implementations and upgrades. The company recently successfully upgraded companies like Ulefos, Prevex and Servi to IFS Cloud. Joakim Hugosson, CEO of Addovation, expresses his pride in the partnership: “We’re really proud of how we’re working with IFS. The partnership allows us to work with customers in a long-term perspective. By establishing strong relationships and understanding their evolving needs, we can provide continuous support, insights, and value-added services throughout the customer journey. This long-term approach enhances customer satisfaction and retention.”

In the second half of 2023 the partners will join forces to implement IFS Cloud at Havfram, the Norwegian offshore wind company. The deployment of the new solution will span over four sites, including locations in Norway, Australia, and the UK. With the support of IFS Cloud’s advanced features and Addovation’s expertise, approximately 200 users will experience significant growth and success as we bring these capabilities to life. Frode Haugli, Chairman of the Board at Addovation, put’s it quite simple: “It is all about making things better for Nordic companies. We’re combining super-tech with really smart people to help companies succeed in today’s digital world”.

Ann-Kristin Sander, Managing Director at IFS Nordics, states, “IFS is working towards a more clear and focused partner strategy in the Nordics, and we are continuing to evolve our Ecosystem of partners. Adding Addovation to the list of successful System Integrators is a natural step in the evolution of the Ecosystem.  With their strong presence and great capabilities, Addovation will contribute to the ongoing success journeys of our customers and to IFS itself. We are looking forward to breaking new grounds together within the framework of this new partnership.”

The new partner status opens new opportunities for Addovation. Their access to a wider market in the Nordic countries and a broader range of projects paves the way for exciting growth prospects.

Successful Implementation of IFS Applications 10 at Orkla House Care

Orkla House Care, a leading provider of painting tools and accessories to both DIYers and professional painters, has successfully gone live on IFS Applications 10, with Addovation serving as the implementation partner. The implementation of IFS Applications 10 is expected to improve Orkla House Care’s business operations, enhance process efficiency, and support future growth.

The implementation of IFS Applications 10 for the UK and Nordic market took place over several months and involved significant collaboration between Orkla House Care and Addovation. The implementation process included the migration of data from legacy systems to IFS Applications 10 and the configuration of the system to meet the specific needs of Orkla House Care’s business operations in the UK and Nordics. Addovation also provided additional services to improve the overall functionality of the software. This included delivering managed services and integrations through Boomi’s platform, which further enhanced the business processes and management for Orkla House Care.

“The successful implementation of IFS Applications 10 is a significant milestone for Orkla House Care”, said Chris Wood, Managing Director of Orkla House Care UK. “We are confident that this new system will enable us to improve our business processes and enhance our overall efficiency, allowing us to better serve our customers and support our growth ambitions. Addovation truly demonstrated their commitment to our success, and we are pleased with the services they provided.”

Addovation played a critical role in the implementation process, providing Orkla House Care with the necessary support on site, and expertise to ensure a smooth transition to the new system. “We are pleased to have worked with Orkla House Care on this important project,” said Joakim Hugosson, CEO of Addovation. “We look forward to continue our partnership through the Addovation Customer Engagement Model,  and to support them in their future development of the implemented solution”.

Orkla House Care’s implementation of IFS Applications 10 is a testament to the company’s commitment to continuously improving its business operations and delivering high-quality products to its customers. With the support of Addovation, Orkla House Care is poised for continued success in the years to come.

Successful IFS Upgrade at Odfjell Technology & Odfjell Drilling

Odfjell Technology and Odfjell Drilling, the Norwegian Oil Drilling, Well Services, Operations and Engineering companies with 3800 employees, went live with an upgraded version of IFS Applications in January. Addovation, which has a long-standing relationship with Odfjell, functioned as the technical upgrade partner in the project.

Supporting future growth

Odfjell continually invests in the latest and best technological solutions to ensure quality in everything they do. The ERP system and partners are no exception.

“One of the core goals of the IFS 10 upgrade project was to get into a more standardized solution – so we would prepare ourselves for the future cloud solution with an evergreen philosophy. With Addovation’s technical expertise and understanding, we found standard IFS solutions that supported our processes. Addovation’s contribution in all aspects of the project, solution design, data migration, cutover and go-live where important contributions for the success for the project deliverables.“ Kjetil Laasby, CIO – Odfjell Technology”

Technical expertise 

Addovation was responsible for migrating data between the old and new version. In addition, they were responsible for developing the required modifications, integrations, and reports (CRIMs) to the standard solution.

“I’m happy that the go-live went smoothly and that we met Odfjell’s expectations,” says Øystein Meiningen, Project Manager at Addovation. “It’s been fun and challenging to work alongside Odfjell and IFS, who was responsible for the Solution. I feel confident that Odfjell now has a solid and modern ERP solution that will support their business in the years to come.

In addition to the migration and CRIMs, Addovation has also been responsible for hosting and managing the technical environments in the project.

Addovation is proud to manage the IFS upgrade project for HEXPOL Engineered Products, a leading international supplier of gaskets, seals, and wheels for material handling.

Hexpol Engineered Products

HEXPOL has decided to upgrade to IFS Cloud™

IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, has announced that HEXPOL has decided to upgrade to the latest IFS Cloud™ solution to streamline processes and enhance sustainability within Finance, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, CRM, HR, Procurement, Asset- and Recipe Management. Addovation’s project team members have a long history together with HEXPOL Engineered Products, which started over 20 years ago with an implementation and have upgraded their applications throughout the years.

The upgrade will, for example, enable HEXPOL Engineered Products to navigate complex supply chain challenges while improving their ability to meet customer expectations of short lead times from order to shipment. The migration will be deployed across HEXPOL Engineered Products’ seven production plants and distribution centers in multiple countries.

By upgrading to IFS Cloud, HEXPOL will have improved visibility over all company transactions and shipments, as well as faster and easier access to performance data. This, in turn, will give the company faster time to insight and better return on its capital employed. With the upgrade, HEXPOL will also be able to easily access a range of tools to track the company’s environmental impact and demonstrate accountability and transparency.

Addovation is honored to be HEXPOL Engineered Products’ close services partner in the upgrade project. We believe that this upgrade will enable HEXPOL to cut costs, drive efficiencies, and become even better at meeting expectations and delivering their Moment of Service to customers. The upgrade will also provide extended functionality, greater efficiency, and improved visibility over every step of their processes.

With the upgrade to IFS Cloud, HEXPOL Engineered Products will benefit from the twice-yearly releases of new features and capabilities, along with monthly service updates containing fixes and security patches. This will enable the company to remain consistently evergreen and up-to-date.

Successful Go live with IFS Cloud at Finnish customer Prevex

Prevex, a leading supplier of water traps from Finland, went live with IFS Cloud™ in November. Addovation was selected as the preferred long-term ERP partner and was responsible for the upgrade.

Greater control with evergreen solutions

One of the major benefits of IFS Cloud is that upgrades happen automatically two times a year. With Evergreen, Prevex can always be on the latest software version without disruptions with full-scale upgrades. It gives them greater visibility, predictability, control, and flexibility in planning their business development and adopting new capabilities from IFS. “We are truly excited about this go live”, says Niclas Öster, CIO at Prevex. “With IFS Cloud, we now have a solid ERP solution that supports our business processes and future growth. With the capability of evergreen, we do not have to deal with the disruptions of time-consuming upgrades! At the same time, it enables us to adopt new technology and functionality without delay.”

A competent ERP Partner saves time

Prevex selected Addovation because of their competence. Not only was Addovation in charge of the upgrade, but they also deliver hosting and managed services to the water trap producer.

“We do not have to spend much time thinking about managing the ERP platform. With Addovation as our long-term ERP partner, we rely on their help to administer and surveil the application. We now focus on our business processes and how we can stay on top of the competition,” Niclas Öster continues.

Modern cloud integrations with Boomi

Boomi offers a Integration Platform as a Service (iPaas) designed and developed for application and data integration in a single, scalable, cloud-based solution. The platform is based on a single instance with multi-tenant architecture. It has a distributed and scalable architecture, and it supports both cloud- and hybrid integration solutions. With Boomi, the time to market for building integration solutions has been greatly reduced. Prevex now has an integration platform that will be a key cornerstone for their business success stories.

A long-term perspective

A long-term perspective is essential when dealing with ERP. You need a strategy and a clear vision of the solution. Next up for Prevex will be implementing the HCM and Quality Assurance module.

“It’s been great working on this upgrade project for Prevex” says Jonas Axelsson Blad, Project Manager at Addovation. “This was our first customer in the Finnish market and our first IFS Cloud upgrade, so it’s very giving to see how much value the solutions generate. We look forward to continuing our relationship with Prevex and starting phase two of the project.”
