Bergene Holm upgrades to IFS Cloud to future-proof manufacturing operations
Leading ERP solution will enable seven manufacturing sites across Norway to improve agility and achieve sustainability goals
London, UK, 11 March 2025 –IFS, the leading enterprise cloud and Industrial AI software provider, today announced Bergene Holm, a major Norwegian producer of wood-based construction products, is set to implement IFS Cloud to strengthen core business areas including production, logistics, and financial management.
An IFS customer since 2011, Bergene Holm chose to upgrade to IFS Cloud to ensure continuous access to the latest features and updates, enabling the company to handle the rapidly evolving technological landscape. The company will leverage the platform’s improved integration capabilities, user-friendly customizable interfaces, and powerful automation functionality. This migration will enable the company to quickly adapt processes and workflows in response to changing business demands, efficiently adjust its production schedules, respond to market fluctuations, and optimize resource allocation in real-time.
IFS Cloud’s ability to track materials and products throughout the supply chain from sourcing to end use was critical to the decision, supporting Bergene Holm’s commitment to ensuring sustainability, traceability, and transparency across its manufacturing operations.
“We have always valued IFS’s extensive knowledge of the timber sector, especially in the Nordics, which was a key reason for our move to IFS Cloud,” said Sindre Damgaard, Lead Digitalization, Bergene Holm. “This upgrade will refine our manufacturing processes, strengthen our planning efforts, and help us stay ahead of evolving market demands. We look forward to working closely with IFS to ensure we continue delivering high-quality, sustainable products to our customers.”
Bergene Holm is implementing the suite of IFS Cloud’s ERP modules covering manufacturing, sales, procurement and finance. The solution will be rolled out to a total of 220 users at the company’s seven production sites across South-East Norway.
Ann-Kristin Sander, Managing Director, Nordics, IFS, commented: “Bergene Holm’s commitment to modernizing its operations and embracing sustainable practices is impressive, and we are proud to continue supporting them on this journey. By implementing IFS Cloud, Bergene Holm gains access to an agile and future-ready platform that integrates seamlessly with their operations, ensuring they continue meeting the demands of their customers while driving efficiency, sustainability, and innovation.”
