Munich-based engineering company MAURER AG selects IFS Applications 9 for improved business transparency
MAURER to deploy comprehensive ERP solution from IFS for 400 users at three sites in Germany
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that MAURER, one of the world’s leading mechanical, plant and steel engineering companies, has chosen to implement IFS Applications™ 9. The agreement includes licenses and services worth 1.8 million euros.
Based in Munich, MAURER is focused on steel constructions such as buildings, bridges, roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and other complex dynamic, stressed structures.
Following an evaluation process involving several major ERP vendors, MAURER selected IFS Applications to promote a unified way of working, enhance data quality, and promote business transparency at all levels of the organization. Replacing a no longer sustainable legacy system, the IFS solution will initially be deployed at MAURER’s sites in Munich, Lünen, and Bernsdorf, Germany. In a later phase, IFS Applications will also be implemented at the company’s facilities in China, India, and Turkey as well as at all sales locations worldwide.
“We chose IFS as our ERP partner because of its experience and proven track record in our industry,” MAURER head of controlling Max Meincke said. “IFS’s expertise was repeatedly confirmed through our interaction with the IFS team and through a number of customer reference visits. We are convinced that IFS Applications will support our business processes and help us power our international expansion.”
“We are excited to be able to count MAURER among our internationally renowned construction and engineering customers,” IFS Europe Central vice president of sales & marketing Peter Höhne said. “We pride ourselves on delivering best-practice industry solutions that can power our customers’ growth and provide full transparency for informed decision-making.
