Leading technical contractor, GK Gruppen, selects IFS Applications to optimize field service and project management
IFS Applications to support 3,000 users across three countries
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that GK, a leading technical contractor and service provider, has chosen IFS Applications™ to unify key business processes and accelerate growth.
GK Gruppen AS is one of Scandinavia’s leading technical contractor and service partners within plumbing, ventilation, cooling, building automation, electrical installations and security. The company has more than 3,000 employees in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
GK Gruppen AS and its’ subsidiaries will be leveraging a fully integrated ERP solution to support and optimize mission-critical business processes such as service management, project management, CRM, mobility, HR, BI, supply chain, and finance.
The solution will provide the 3,000 users with an end-to-end solution for service and project management, ranging from single work orders to extensive service and maintenance contracts and large projects across multiple business units and subsidiaries. GK field service technicians will be equipped with advanced capabilities for managing tasks and work orders via mobile devices. IFS Applications will eventually be replacing most of GKs existing systems.
“GK Gruppen AS has grown rapidly and entered new market segments the past years. We needed one single solution that could manage service orders and processes across all business areas. We believe the new solution will provide an even stronger base for delivering marked oriented products to our customers,” Øyvind Monrad-Krohn, CIO at GK Gruppen AS said. “IFS Applications provides a fully integrated solution that enables GK to manage large scale service agreements and small service orders for existing buildings as well as complex installation-projects for new buildings, with effective coordination across all technical disciplines resulting in higher value delivered to our customers. The new common solution will also act as a solid foundation for digitalization and operational effectiveness, for example by the strong mobility features and service capabilities that can improve the utilization of our field service technicians. Furthermore, we were impressed by the deep industry expertise of the IFS consultants.”
