Plannja grows with IBS

Plannja grows with IBS

Plannja, a manufacturer of sheet metal products for the building industry, is
developing its cooperation with the business system supplier IBS. Under the
agreement between the two companies, Plannja will upgrade its current system
version to IBS Enterprise 6.0 and expand its installation to encompass a larger
number of users and new modules. The order is worth approximately SEK 10
million.

Plannja, one of the leading European brands in sheet metal products for the
building market, has implemented the strategic shift to demand-driven
manufacturing. Its products are sold directly to the building market and to the
private market via a nationwide network of retailers. The reason for upgrading
the business system is strategic, with the aim of making Plannja's offering,
supply chains and delivery processes more uniform, efficient and easily
available both to customers and internally at Plannja.
“We have conducted a Group study to see how we can maximize the benefits offered
by a Group-wide business system,” says Anders Berg, Chief Executive Officer at
Plannja. “The key consideration in all of this is that we create a solid
platform for Plannja's future and ‘one Plannja' offering, regardless of where
and how the customer works.”
The agreement comprises operations in Sweden and Norway, an upgrade of the
largest production unit in Luleå, the sales company in Norway and a new
installation at Plannja Siba in Järnforsen. Plannja and IBS have cooperated
since 1996.
