Service-centric ERP solution from IFS delivered in the Cloud to support Samhall on its digitalization journey
IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that Swedish service provider Samhall has selected IFS Applications™ 10 as its new ERP platform to support the company on its journey to optimize and simplify key business processes while making work more productive and rewarding for its 25,000 employees.
Samhall AB is one of Sweden’s largest service providers, offering services in the areas of cleaning and laundry, warehousing and logistics, workplace and property services, care services, as well as retail, industry and manufacturing. Samhall’s mission is to create real and inspiring jobs for people with functional impairment causing reduced working capacity. To promote personal and professional development, Samhall offers its services on a competitive market with the goal of transitioning its staff to clients as permanent employees. Among Samhall’s customers are major brands such as Volvo, IKEA, Axfood, Ingram Micro and Swedish hamburger chain Max.
Operating in a competitive market, Samhall needed to invest in a new ERP platform to improve its effectiveness and optimize its business operations. After a thorough evaluation process involving a number of ERP vendors, Samhall chose IFS Applications 10 as its new digital backbone.
"We needed a future-proof ERP solution with a strong focus on service-oriented processes that could support our diverse business operations and help us on our digitalization journey,” said Paul Lidbom, CFO at Samhall. “We are excited about our choice of IFS Applications and we look forward working with IFS in improving our business operations, the services we deliver, and to make everyday more productive for our employees.”
Recently launched IFS Applications 10 includes major investments to support service-focused organizations, especially service companies that need an integrated enterprise applications suite tailored to their business model. The solution that will be deployed at Samhall will run on IFS Managed Cloud and includes support for key processes such as finance, manufacturing and service. The solution will also empower the company’s field service staff with robust functionality designed to deliver more value to its clients.
Elni Kullmer, head of Scandinavia at IFS, said, “We are very excited and proud to have been given this opportunity to support Samhall on its digitalization journey and to be part of Samhall’s important social undertaking.
