Servera upgrades with IBS food distribution softwarePress Release 2008-07-01 IBS has signed a professional services agreement with Swedish food distribution company Servera. The agreement includes an upgrade of Servera’s ERP system to IBS Enterprise 6 at a total value of SEK 40 m. This contract follows a previously signed license agreement worth SEK 5 m. Servera has been an IBS customer since 1994 when the first installation was made. The ERP system is the backbone in a heavily regulated business with high demands on delivery precision, handling large transaction volumes with high reliability. With IBS Enterprise, Servera will have the functionality to handle requirements for regulatory compliance, traceability, EDI and logistics in a complex distribution network with solutions for both central and local warehousing. ”An ERP system capable of handling high transaction volumes is of key importance in our business. With a new and extended system platform, we will be able to develop Servera even further regarding sales, logistics and environmental impact. This is particularly important for us since we process 100,000 order lines per day,” says Göran Matz, CIO at Servera. The new ERP system will be used by more than 900 employees, which will be one of the largest IBS installations in Sweden. ”Through the cooperation with Servera, which is one of the leading companies in the food distribution industry, we can continue to develop functionality, competence and additional experience within food distribution, which is one of the industry segments that we target on an international level,” says Kent Mattsson, Area President, IBS Nordics.
