The enterprise cloud and industrial AI leader IFS has announced that Doppelmayr Group, the leader in high-quality ropeway systems and provider of efficient intralogistics solutions, will upgrade to IFS Cloud to standardize on the single ERP platform across its global business.
According to the announcement, Doppelmayr looks to achieve an internal digitalization of its operations through the transition to IFS Cloud for ERP that will enable it to streamline its complex processes across 55 countries, while gaining a unified solution that consolidates many of its systems into one. The integration will also eliminate the need for multiple customizations, providing a single source of truth for Doppelmayr’s data.
Additionally, spokespersons shared that the extended global capabilities mean that Doppelmayr’s sales and production locations worldwide will operate under the same system. Set to start immediately, the implementation will cover most functional areas of Doppelmayr’s business and involve more than 3,000 employees across multiple sites. The implementation of the project will be done by IFS partner Flexicode.
The news comes in line with the ongoing collaboration between IFS and Doppelmayr, highlighted by the launch of IFS Cloud Cable Car, which was built by Doppelmayr for the London Olympics in 2012, and which has been sponsored by IFS since 2022.
“Over the last 15 years, IFS has essentially become the digital backbone of our business processes worldwide,” said Gerhard Gassner, managing director at Doppelmayr. “We use IFS for everything from sales to engineering, manufacturing to installation and even the commissioning and maintenance of ropeways. Moving to IFS Cloud is integral to the digital transformation journey we are on.”
Sebastian Spicker, managing director of DACH at IFS also commented on the announcement: “[…] By transitioning to IFS Cloud, Doppelmayr will benefit from a unified, scalable platform that will transform their digital operations.
At the same time, it will eliminate the need for them to run future upgrade projects, ensuring they are evergreen and freeing up time to deliver more business value through a connected global ERP platform. […]”
Among other announcements, IFS has recently shared an increase in its annual recurring revenue (ARR) by 30 percent during Q3, driven by the increasing demand for industrial AI software, especially in the manufacturing, energy and utilities and servicing sectors.
