Kuusakoski streamlines operations with IFS Applications

Kuusakoski vice president Harri Pulli says that the specification phase of the implementation project has been completed, and explains that the company expects IFS Applications to increase efficiency, consolidate work processes and improve stability and usability. "We wanted a straightforward, state-of-the-art ERP system, which supports our business management," he says, adding that the solution will include IFS Applications components for financials, sales, distribution, project management and manufacturing. There will also be a jointly-developed software extension, designed for the recycling business, and Petri Virtanen, director for Finland and Sweden at Kuusakoski, says IRS's collaboration here was one of the decisive reasons for Kuusakoski selecting IFS. "The key factor for choosing IFS was their readiness to start developing new functionality for the recycling industry," he states.
