IFS Signs New Agreement with Sanitec
IFS announced that Sanitec is expanding its use of IFS Applications in its Swedish subsidiary, IFÖ Sanitär AB (IFÖ), by adding the manufacturing component and upgrading to IFS Applications 7.5. Sanitec will also roll out the solution to the other Nordic countries. The contract, which was signed in 2008, includes licenses, consulting services and maintenance and has a total value of more than SKr 14 million.
Sanitec, through its Swedish subsidiary IFÖ, has been an IFS customer since 1998 and has implemented IFS Applications components for financials, sales & logistics and maintenance. Now Sanitec is expanding the solution by adding the IFS manufacturing component to replace legacy software.
“We have seen several benefits from working with IFS Applications so far and look forward to upgrading the solution,” Frida Norrbom, Chief Information Officer at Sanitec, said. “Our users have long experience of IFS Applications and find it easy to use, which will ease the implementation.”
After upgrading to IFS Applications, 7.5, Sanitec will roll out the solution to the business units Porsgrund Bad in Norway, and IDO in Finland.
Glenn Arnesen, Managing Director IFS Scandinavia, is pleased that Sanitec has chosen to develop the use of IFS Applications further.
“It’s important to us that our long-term customers extend the use of IFS applications with new components and by rolling out the solution internationally. We are proud to work alongside one of the most successful, innovative and environmentally responsible bathroom solutions company in the world,” Arnesen said.
