IFS to supply ERP to Huber SE

January 4, 2011 - Huber SE, a manufacturer of machinery and equipment for wastewater treatment, selected IFS Applications as its corporate ERP solution to optimize business processes, increase productivity and reduce throughput times throughout its organization.

Huber SE wanted a single fully integrated ERP solution to replace its current software, which came from several different vendors. The company selected IFS because IFS Applications provided the best fit for Huber’s requirements, especially in the key areas of project-based manufacturing and engineering, and because of the availability of local support. Huber SE will implement IFS components for manufacturing, engineering, distribution, service management, document management, quality management, project management, human resource management, and sales and service. Initially, existing systems will be replaced at Huber SE’s headquarters in Berching, Germany, with other sites to follow. A go-live throughout Germany is planned by the end of 2011. A roll-out to subsidiaries worldwide is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2012.

“We selected IFS Applications not just because it matched our requirements perfectly, but also because of the industry competence demonstrated by the IFS team,” Huber SE CEO Georg Huber said. “Having one single ERP solution will enable us to implement uniform processes throughout the group and will give us analysis tools, which in return will enable us to streamline our processes and introduce uniform best practices company-wide.”

“We are proud to sign a globally renowned customer like Huber SE,” IFS Central Europe Vice President of Sales and marketing Peter Höhne said. “Its decision to select IFS Applications is yet another indication of the strength of our project-based solutions for manufacturers in the international mid-range market.”
