Banks are raising the bar. Here’s how your ERP can keep up

Banks increasingly expect structured address data in international and SEPA payments, and the requirements and timelines differ by bank and country. It is one of several new requirements that put pressure on the link between your ERP and your banks. Together with Cobase, Addovation helps IFS Cloud and NetSuite customers keep their payments flowing.

New rules land in your ERP 

Swift and the European Payments Council (EPC) are phasing out fully unstructured addresses in payment messages based on the ISO 20022 standard. Every payment will need to include at least the town and country of the parties, in dedicated fields. 

The original deadline was November 2026. Both Swift and the EPC have since postponed it, and new dates are expected later this year. But the direction is unchanged. Some banks and countries are keeping earlier deadlines, and some already require structured addresses. Those banks may reject or delay payments that don’t meet their requirements. In July 2026, Swift reported that almost 60 percent of payment messages still contained unstructured addresses. 

Swift is clear about who owns this: you source the addresses of your suppliers, store them in your ERP or treasury system and send them to the bank when you pay. 

In the euro area, banks have also checked since October 2025 that the payee’s name matches the account number before a transfer goes through. This is called Verification of Payee. 

Many banks, many formats 

For a company with one bank in one country, this is manageable. For international companies it quickly gets complex. Each bank has its own file formats, connection methods, local requirements and timelines. Expecting your ERP to handle all of that directly is not realistic. 

A strong core with a specialist connection to your banks 

We believe the future of ERP is a strong core platform combined with carefully selected specialist solutions. That is why we work with Cobase: 

  • IFS Cloud or NetSuite remains your core business platform for finance, projects, assets, service and supply chain. 
  • Cobase gives you one standardised connection to your banks. It transforms and structures files between your ERP and your banks, both outgoing payments and incoming bank statements, whatever format each bank requires. Cobase connects to more than 300 banks in over 90 countries. 
  • Addovation makes sure the complete solution works together, from both a business and a technical perspective. We stay with you after go-live through Addovation Engage, our application management service. 

“Banks expect more from the payment data your ERP sends them, and the rules keep changing. We don’t think one platform should try to do everything. The ERP system stays at the core, Cobase handles the connection to your banks, and we make sure it all works together, from implementation through daily operation,“ says Fredrik Wingren, Chief Revenue Officer at Addovation.

What a strong ERP-to-bank setup looks like 

 

  • You send and receive payments electronically. 
  • Bank transactions reach your ERP automatically, several times a day. 
  • Each transaction is matched correctly: supplier, customer, fees, interest or other. 
  • Your supplier and customer records hold structured addresses, with at least town and country in separate fields.

Bringing together 350+ ERP experts in new global partnership

Addovation, which has extensive experience implementing and operating ERP systems, is joining forces with SEBSA.

Ravema Is Reinventing Customer Service for Nordic Industry with IFS Cloud™

Ravema, a leading partner to Nordic industry, providing solutions across production, automation, service and aftermarket, chose Addovation to upgrade its IFS solution to IFS Cloud. At the same time, the company has signed Addovation’s own long-term partner service Engage, a strategic move designed to make Ravema even better equipped to deliver forward-looking service and closer customer follow-up across the Nordics.

Building A Stronger Service Platform

After years on an older IFS application, the company is moving to IFS Cloud to create a more flexible and future-ready platform.

Service is at the heart of the project. Together with Addovation, Ravema will redesign its service solution to strengthen customer follow-up and enable faster, more efficient service across the Nordics.

A Partner with Deep IFS Service Expertise

Ravema’s choice fell on Addovation because of the company’s strong expertise and focus on IFS’s service solution. Addovation has, over several years, built specialist expertise in this area and Ravema had the greatest confidence in Addovation’s ability to deliver a project of this scale.

“Addovation understands our service business and what we want to achieve with IFS Cloud. Their strong expertise in IFS Service, combined with a practical way of working, gives us confidence that we have chosen the right partner – both for the implementation and for the future,” says Christian Grahnquist, CFO of Ravema.

With the upgrade to IFS Cloud and a redesign of the service solution, Ravema will be able to respond faster and improve it’s visibility across service and aftermarket activities. This will provide a lot more consistent customer follow-up across the Nordics.

Addovation Engage will support Ravema, beyond go-live, and with the continuous development and a structured approach they will turn new needs into improvements. The goal is simple: more efficient service, greater predictability, and better experience for Ravema’s customers.

A Long-term Collaboration

Addovation plays a central role throughout the entire project, from technical upgrade to IFS Cloud to the redesign of the service module and the implementation of Engage. Addovation’s task is to contribute with it’s expertise and specialists within service, ensuring that the solution is tailored to Ravema’s needs and it’s future growth.

About Ravema

Ravema is a leading partner to Nordic industry, offering complete solutions within production equipment, tools, measuring equipment, automation, service and aftermarket.

Fast implementation with a long-term perspective

Nord Gas Solutions transforms operations across multiple countries with IFS Cloud and Addovation

Nord Gas Solutions, a provider of gas systems and lifecycle solutions, has selected IFS Cloud with Addovation as its implementation partner, supporting the company’s operations across multiple countries.

The new solution will provide a common digital platform for managing complex, project-based operations – from CRM and finance to engineering, procurement, delivery, and lifecycle services. The agreement includes IFS Cloud licenses, hosting, implementation and Addovation Engage for long-term support and continuous development.

The implementation will be rolled out in phases. The first phase will cover four countries and is planned to be completed within nine months. Further countries will follow in the next phase.

One platform for complex, project-based operations

Nord Gas Solutions operates in an environment where projects, engineering, subcontracting and lifecycle services are closely connected. This places high demands on project control, cost visibility and the ability to follow a project from initial design through delivery and service.

IFS Cloud is designed to support project-driven and engineer-to-order businesses, connecting these processes in one platform – giving Nord Gas Solutions a stronger foundation for managing projects across countries, improving cost control and creating better visibility throughout the project lifecycle.

“We chose Addovation because they combine strong IFS expertise with the flexibility and ability to deliver at the speed we need. Just as important was the trust we built during the process. Addovation understood our business and what we want to achieve, and gave us confidence that they are the right partner to support us both through the implementation and in the years ahead.”

Magne S. Berg, Carve-out Manager, Nord Gas Solutions

Fast implementation with a long-term perspective

A key part of the project is speed. Addovation and Nord Gas Solutions will work towards a tightly defined MVP for the first four countries, with the first phase planned within nine months.

At the same time, the solution is being designed with the wider international organization in mind. The next phase will extend IFS Cloud to further countries, with plans to further develop the platform’s capabilities over time, including AI-driven functionality within IFS Cloud.

“Nord Gas Solutions is a very good example of the type of business IFS Cloud is built to support. They have complex projects, engineering processes, international operations and a need for strong financial and operational control. Our job is not only to implement the technology, but to make sure it creates value across the business,”

Anders Kjersem, Sales Manager at Addovation

A long-term partnership

The partnership will continue beyond implementation. Through Addovation Engage, Addovation will provide governance, management, support and continuous development of the solution in the years ahead.

The agreement also strengthens Addovation’s position within project-based manufacturing, service and maintenance – areas where the company already supports customers such as BOS Power and SEAM.

Bringing together 350+ ERP experts in new global partnership

It’s a new everyday reality for many businesses. ERP systems, which form the very heart of an organization, are evolving at an extreme pace and placing new demands on companies. Cloud technology, automation and artificial intelligence require organizations to transform faster than ever before.

Addovation, which has extensive experience implementing and operating ERP systems, is meeting these challenges by joining forces with SEBSA, a global partner for IFS and technology.

Building the foundation for an AI-driven future

“Ten months ago, we started talking with SEBSA about whether we should do something together. We have a very similar culture, and we both have broad experience working with IFS. We asked each other: how can we do something together to strengthen our position while also creating value for our customers? So for a couple of months now, we’ve started drawing on parts of each other’s experience and expertise in projects,” says Mikael Johansson, Interim CEO at Addovation.

“No company can move fast enough on its own to deliver the innovations the market is actually demanding. If anyone claims they can do it alone, I find that hard to believe, because things are moving so incredibly fast,” says Martin Gunnarsson, SVP Growth & Innovation, Addovation & SEBSA.

Gunnarsson is focused on making sure the company always stays ahead of developments.

“I’ve led research and development for a long time. What I see very clearly now is that the ecosystem is the most important thing of all. There are so many innovations and solutions out there that we need to find, integrate and build on. That requires us to keep an open mind, listen, and find the right tools – tools we can now bring to our customers together with SEBSA.”

The partnership takes a major step forward

SEBSA, headquartered in Sri Lanka, operates across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the US and Canada. The company has broad experience with IFS across a wide range of industries. Addovation and SEBSA have previously collaborated on several concrete projects. Now the collaboration is being taken a step further as the partnership is formalized.

Muthuraja Nanayakkara, Group CEO of SEBSA, notes that close ties between Nordic companies and professional communities in Sri Lanka are nothing new in the industry.

“This is an industry that takes time to build, and there are many examples of Nordic and Sri Lanka-based companies joining forces. Still, this is about far more than simply signing an agreement. We’ve worked purposefully, met, and tested the collaboration on concrete assignments over the past few months. That has shown us that we’re a very good match for each other,” says Nanayakkara.

He emphasizes that the goal is to become a long-term, reliable IFS transformation partner for customers.

“We complement each other and create added value. Both organizations have extensive experience delivering successful IFS projects and building long-term customer relationships. By combining our expertise, industry knowledge and global presence, we can deliver a far more complete offering to the market.”

Lena Ström, CEO of SEBSA Europe, adds:

“It’s not just about expertise and capacity, but also about combining long-standing customer relationships, successful projects, and value that continues long after go-live. Together we can offer services and specialist expertise that neither of us necessarily has alone, including support functions and 24/7 help whenever customers need it.”

Local roots with global reach

Fredrik Wingren, CRO at Addovation, points out that the partnership responds directly to feedback from the market:

“Customers want a partner who can look them in the eye — not just when the contract is signed, but at go-live, after launch, and in all the years that follow. That kind of trust takes time to build. By joining forces, Addovation and SEBSA combine that trust with global capacity.”

Mikael Johansson agrees:

“Both companies are passionate about the long-term customer relationship, and about building relationships for the whole journey. That was an absolutely decisive shared value for us in this process.”

This long-term commitment is anchored in structured programs, where the goal is to understand customers’ strategic plans and future needs.

“Before we implement a new platform or migrate an existing IFS customer to the cloud, we always carry out a value analysis. We send experts out to the company, the production line or the warehouse to map out best practices for their specific situation. That requires a long-term relationship, deep expertise, and an openness to adopting the latest technology,” Wingren explains.

Nanayakkara adds that this also applies when customers expand into new industries or new countries:

“When our customers move into new sectors, such as oil and gas, SEBSA has deep specialist expertise there. Addovation, for its part, has a strong local presence in the Nordics. That means we complement each other seamlessly, based on what’s needed.”

Betting big on artificial intelligence

New technologies and AI call for a more flexible, modern approach.

“On Addovation’s side, we’ve invested in a new AI platform built for the needs of the market. We’ve built a flexible architecture and infrastructure, because we know the tools change from quarter to quarter. At the same time, we have deep in-house expertise from people who have worked with this for many years,” says Wingren.

Lena Ström stresses that good AI initiatives start with the right foundation:

“Our experience shows that good initiatives start long before the tools do. Customers need a solid data foundation that brings ERP data and information together in a structured way. Together with Addovation, we can help our customers prepare for AI throughout the entire transformation process.”

Johansson highlights the benefit for customers:

“The collaboration with SEBSA on AI is an exciting investment. We put AI first in everything we do, and we’re always looking at how we can make our own processes more efficient to create added value.”

Gunnarsson adds that it’s the combination of knowledge and new technology that makes the difference:

“The combination of these two companies becomes a unique differentiator in the market. With more than 350 consultants combined, we have enormous experience and a broad range of services. Only once the data foundation and infrastructure are in place can AI become the fantastic tool everyone is talking about.”

Culture and human expertise

For customers, the agreement means seamless support across the world. Johansson highlights a recent example:

“We have an ongoing upgrade project for a Norwegian customer with global operations. On it, we’re using a senior solution architect from SEBSA. As the customer now rolls out its global template to operations in Vietnam, we can use that same architect locally, on the ground there. That gives the customer real peace of mind and ensures continuity and a consistent approach across regions.”

In closing, Ström and Gunnarsson point out that success in the software industry ultimately comes down to close customer relationships and company culture.

“It’s about choosing the right people with the right mindset to handle rapid change. There, Addovation and SEBSA have a very similar company culture, which makes this an incredibly good match,” Ström emphasizes.

Gunnarsson concludes:

“These are two well-established players with deep expertise in the market. When we join forces, it represents enormous strength for our customers. At the end of the day, the software industry is a people business, and it’s the people and the relationships that are the key to success,” he says.

Partnerships

Addovation and SEBSA join forces to meet growing demand for IFS and AI transformation expertise

Addovation and SEBSA announces plans for a strategic partnership bringing together experienced IFS specialists from both organizations.

Combining business understanding, global delivery capacity, and deep IFS expertise, the partnership forms one of the largest consortiums of senior IFS specialists in the industry, strengthening the companies’ ability to support customers as they modernize their core business systems for an AI-driven future.  

AI

Building the foundation for an AI-driven future

The partnership comes as the role of ERP is changing. Cloud, automation, and AI are turning ERP into a foundation for continuous innovation, placing new demands on data, integrations, and specialist expertise.

“AI is changing the conversation around ERP. Companies are asking not only how they modernize their systems, but how they build a foundation that allows them to continuously adopt new technology and turn it into business value,”  – Mikael Johansson, Interim CEO of Addovation.

“By joining forces with SEBSA, we are significantly strengthening the expertise and delivery capacity we can bring to that challenge.”

Capacity and Expertise

Industry expertise with global scale 

The partnership combines Addovation’s Nordic business understanding and close customer relationships with SEBSA’s global delivery capabilities and extensive IFS expertise.

Together, the companies will support customers across the entire IFS lifecycle, from strategy, implementation, and migration to optimization, managed services, and continuous business improvement.

“Scale alone is not enough. What matters is having experienced specialists who understand complex customer environments and can deliver consistently.”   – Muthuraja Nanayakkara, CEO of SEBSA.

“Both SEBSA and Addovation bring decades of IFS expertise in our own right, and together, we combine that experience with a strong European business understanding and the capacity to support customers across markets.”

 

Beyond go-live 

Addovation and SEBSA share the view that ERP transformation does not end at go-live. As technology evolves, organizations need to continuously improve processes and adopt new capabilities to realize long-term value from their ERP investments.

This approach is reflected in Addovation Engage, Addovation’s customer success framework for continuous optimization, innovation, and business improvement. The partnership strengthens the model with SEBSA’s international delivery capacity and senior IFS expertise.

“Rather than treating customer engagements as one-off projects, we invest in understanding each customer’s business over time,” – Gustaf Meland, Business Transformation Manager at Addovation.

“The goal is for customers to always have a familiar, capable team on hand for whatever comes next.”

Charlotte brings leadership experience from the technology and consulting industries, including several years as a CEO, together with a warm and people-focused leadership style.

“Addovation has a strong foundation: highly skilled people, close relationships with our customers and a culture where collaboration really matters.

The important thing is not the technology itself, but how we use it to solve real business challenges and create value. I look forward to getting to know our people, customers and partners, and to building on the strong foundation that is already in place.”

Charlotte will take up the position as CEO of Addovation on October 5, 2026.

Fagerhult accelerates digital transformation with Azure Integration Services

Addovation has signed an agreement with Fagerhult, a leading European lighting company, to modernize its integration platform, transitioning from BizTalk to Azure Integration Services.

The deal represents an important step in Fagerhult’s ongoing digital transformation and lays a strong foundation for future digital initiatives.

By replacing legacy-based integration with a scalable, cloud-native platform, Fagerhult will gain increased agility and improved access to data across systems. Modern integration is a key enabler for unlocking the full potential of digitalization, where seamless data flow and real-time insights are critical.

“This initiative highlights how organizations can unlock significant value by modernizing their integration architecture. Moving from BizTalk to Azure Integration Services not only ensures a future-ready platform, but also creates the foundation for advanced AI and automation capabilities” says Nishti Ismaili Svensson, Business Unit Manager for Integration at Addovation.

The project will be delivered in close collaboration between Addovation and Fagerhult, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

“Access to reliable, connected data is essential for driving our digital transformation.

IFS Cloud Implementation

BOS Power Partners with Addovation to Enable Full Lifecycle Management of Energy Systems with IFS Cloud

BOS Power has selected Addovation as its strategic partner for the implementation, hosting, and long-term development of IFS Cloud™ for Project-based Manufacturing and Service.

The initiative marks a significant step in strengthening BOS Power’s capabilities in delivering and servicing critical energy solutions across their full lifecycle.

“Together with Addovation, we have established a strong, unified team and a clear direction for our transformation,” said Anders Hopsdal, Head of Digital Solutions at BOS Power.  “With IFS Cloud, we are taking a significant step toward more structured, scalable, and end-to-end operations, laying the foundation for our future growth.”

The new platform will provide BOS Power with full end-to-end control, from sales, production, delivery, installation, and long-term service.

The initiative aligns with key trends in the energy sector, where increased focus on lifecycle traceability, service-centric business models, and standardized, scalable delivery is becoming essential. IFS Cloud will support BOS Power’s transition toward more mature order processes, enabling reuse of components, and automated updates to product and item data.

The solution will strengthen BOS Power’s core processes across sales, production, supply chain management, and service execution. Built-in checklists, structured workflows, and digital sign-off will support a shift toward consistent, process-driven operations.

“The combination of project-based manufacturing and service is where we see the greatest value for BOS Power,” said Karolina Nichols, Project Delivery Director at Addovation “With IFS Cloud, we are enabling a fully connected process, from sales to service, that supports both operational efficiency and long-term scalability.”

The platform will be deployed across multiple countries and sites, including Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, unifying BOS Power’s operations in one system. This enables group-level financial consolidation, improved visibility, and advanced reporting through Power BI, supported by a modern integration platform connecting supplier systems, banking, payroll, and other key applications.

BOS Power selected Addovation based on its strong expertise in project-based manufacturing and service, as well as its proven methodology tailored to Nordic companies. Addovation will deliver a full-service offering including implementation, cloud hosting, licenses, and continuous updates through an evergreen model.

The project is planned over a 12-month period, with go-live scheduled for December 2026.

AI moves from hype to practice – Nordic leaders gather at IFS Connect

Nordic companies are increasingly focusing on faster implementation and measurable outcomes in their AI initiatives, as industry leaders prepare to gather at IFS Connect Nordics 2026, taking place tomorrom.

The annual event brings together customers, partners and experts from across the IFS ecosystem, and is expected to highlight how Industrial AI is evolving from early experimentation into practical use across ERP and asset-intensive industries. For many organizations, the focus is now shifting toward how AI can create value in day-to-day operations.

“The question is no longer whether companies should adopt AI, but how quickly they can make it deliver value in real business processes,” said Fredrik Wingren, Addovation, an IFS Premium Partner and Gold Sponsor at the event.

This shift is particularly visible in ERP environments, where companies are looking to integrate AI capabilities directly into core systems rather than running isolated pilot projects. The aim is to improve efficiency, support decision-making and make better use of available data.

Events such as IFS Connect play an important role in this development by providing a platform for sharing practical experiences and insights across industries. By bringing together organizations facing similar challenges, the event helps accelerate learning and identify new opportunities for improvement.

According to Addovation, there is also a growing need to validate AI use cases more quickly.

“We see a clear change in expectations. Organizations are increasingly focused on testing concrete ideas and understanding their value early,” Wingren said.

In response, companies are adopting more time-bound approaches to innovation, such as Addovation’s “AI in a Day,” where specific use cases are rapidly tested and developed into working prototypes.

This is driving broader interest in iterative ways of working, where solutions are developed and refined in shorter cycles rather than through long, exploratory projects. The goal is to reduce uncertainty while ensuring that initiatives are aligned with real operational needs.

At the same time, companies continue to face challenges related to data quality, system complexity and organizational readiness, which can influence how quickly AI solutions are implemented and scaled.

As Industrial AI adoption continues to mature across the Nordics, the ability to move efficiently from idea to implementation is becoming an important factor in realizing business value.
