AKVA group picks Infor for a standardised cloud solution

AKVA group have chosen Infor, an industry cloud company, to provide them with Infor's Cloudsuite Industrial Enterprise software to help improve AKVA's internal collaboration and improve on delivering solutions and services for their customers in land-based and sea-based fish farming.

"We are pleased that AKVA Group has chosen Infor's industry-specific ERP solution. The decision confirms that Infor offers the market's most modern multitenant cloud ERP solution with functionality relevant to AKVA's industry needs," says Erlend Skaar-Olsen, the Infor country manager for Norway.

AKVA group will be using the manufacturing ERP and digital operations platform to connect engineering processes, deliver improved customer configuration and quoting, and optimise their operations in supply chain, production and delivery.

The reasoning behind choosing a standardised cloud solution rests in the ability for "further digitisation," AKVA group explained in the press release, to cover traditional manufacturing ERP and the ability to place the customer at the centre of importance.

"The result of our preliminary project showed that more than 90% of AKVA Group's business processes are covered as standard in Infor's CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise solution. The rest are solved with the use of the built-in integration engine and tools to enrich the solution, whilst not hindering future upgrades. This means a more efficient implementation and lower risk when most of the solution can largely be adopted out of the box," adds Skaar-Olsen.

The company is present in all aquaculture markets and currently boasts offices in a number of countries including Norway, Chile, Denmark, Scotland, and others, and delivers a range of products from individual components to services and solutions. AKVA group currently manufacture a range of products, encompassing their feed systems, cameras and sensors, and ROVs.

"The transition to a common cloud-based ERP platform is a business-critical part of our digitalisation journey, where we have clear expectations that this will both help improve interaction and information flow internally, and also to improve delivery capability and precision to our customers," Ronny Meinkøhn, CFO of AKVA group, points out.
