Dürr Dental streamlines business processes with IFS Applications 8

Dürr Dental AG, a German leading manufacturer of dental equipment, has selected
IFS Applications 8 to replace its legacy software, accelerate information flows
and establish uniform processes throughout the group. The contract includes
software licenses and services worth approximately SKr 17 million.
Headquartered in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, Dürr Dental was running outdated,
heavily customized legacy solutions that made standard upgrades impossible. Dürr
Dental purchased IFS Applications 8 to minimize the number of interfaces,
improve decision-making processes, introduce customer and supplier EDI and
seamlessly integrate processes across the company.

“We chose IFS Applications 8 because it represents leading ERP technology and is
ideal for a company of our size with global operations and plans for expansion.”
Joachim Eppinger, CFO at Dürr Dental said. “We were also impressed by how well
IFS understood our business and by the competence of its consultants. The
reference visits and calls that we made to other IFS customers in our industry
confirmed the suitability and capabilities of IFS Applications.”

“Signing Dürr Dental is further proof of the value and return on investment IFS
offers companies in industrial manufacturing,” Peter Höhne, Vice President Sales
& Marketing, IFS Central Europe said.“Our local presence and global reach give
companies the peace of mind they require to change and grow, secure in the
knowledge that their business software will support them every step of the way,
regardless of where they operate.”

The IFS Applications 8 solution chosen includes components for manufacturing,
distribution, maintenance, project management, sales and marketing, business
analytics, financials, human resource management, document management, and
quality management.

Industrial manufacturing is one of IFS’s targeted markets. IFS has a broad
customer base in the industry, focusing on medium-sized to large manufacturers
that need support for complex order-driven and mixed-mode manufacturing across
the extended enterprise. With strong support for project management,
engineering, advanced scheduling, product configuration, and after-sales
support, IFS’s component-based business solutions are designed to help companies
improve quality, contain costs, and improve their competitive position in
manufacturing industry segments such as machinery, defense, fabricated metal
products, and plastics. Industrial manufacturing companies also benefit from
IFS’s lifecycle management solution, which goes beyond product lifecycle
management (PLM) to provide better integration and management of three critical
business areas—products, customers, and resources—throughout their lifecycles.

IFS Industrial Manufacturing customers include Chief Industries, Colfax
Corporation, Kongskilde, Nolato Group, Bombardier, GEA Pharma Systems,
PartnerTech, Stolle Machinery, Völkl, and Johnson Pump.
