Bang & Bonsomer upgrades to IFS Cloud to support business transformation and drive growth

London, UK, June 8, 2023 – IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, today announced that leading Finnish smart materials technology provider Bang & Bonsomer will upgrade to the IFS Cloud ERP software solution as it looks to expand into new geographical markets and drive growth. 

Bang & Bonsomer wanted a robust and resilient ERP platform to support its digital transformation and enable modern ways of working. IFS Cloud is able to deliver that, enabling the Finnish company to automate operations to achieve seamless processes and providing it with enhanced integration for better communication with internal and third-party applications.

The IFS Cloud implementation will also provide Bang & Bonsomer with an evergreen platform, giving it resilience against changing market dynamics and enhanced strategic control. By choosing the solution, the Finnish provider also attains the increased visibility and financial oversight that comes from having a fixed contract with a fixed term in place.

IFS stood out to Bang & Bonsomer as an excellent strategic partner, not only to support its expansion into new Western European markets but also to help it to drive growth through acquisition while also navigating a raft of complex macroeconomic challenges. 

Bang & Bonsomer will initially implement the supply chain, finance, manufacturing and asset cost management modules of IFS Cloud. Once completed, IFS will work closely with its customer to ensure the smooth roll-out of the solution to 200 users across nine countries.  

Tero Törnqvist, Group ICT Manager, Bang & Bonsomer, said: “Upgrading to IFS Cloud will enable us to more effectively address many of the challenges inherent in any business transformation. We can, for instance, replace the need to add third-party systems for automation with IFS’s workflow and business process automation capabilities. We can stay evergreen on the supported version without needing to upgrade and continue to drive digitalization without worrying about carrying out complex integrations. IFS Cloud is the perfect solution for accelerating our current growth path.”      

Bjarne Baarman, Country Manager, Finland, IFS, said: “Bang & Bonsomer Group is an ambitious, fast-moving technology company with a concerted focus on strong growth. We are thrilled they have chosen IFS as a strategic partner as they look to expand, both geographically by moving into new Western European territories and, in industry terms, by migrating into new market sectors such as manufacturing. 

“There is a close cultural fit between our companies,” he added. “We share a common vision - like Bang & Bonsomer, IFS is customer-centric and strongly focused on sustainability and environmental efficiency. We look forward to working closely with them to ensure they get the most out of their transformation journey at every step.”
