Anticimex Sweden Transforms Field Service Operations with IFS Cloud Upgrade
In a significant move to enhance its operational efficiency, Anticimex Sweden, part of the renowned Anticimex Group, is set to implement the IFS Cloud platform. This upgrade comes as part of a long-standing relationship, spanning over 25 years with IFS, a leader in enterprise cloud and industrial AI software. The decision to adopt IFS Cloud aligns with Anticimex's transition from a traditional treatment-based pest control model to a more modern, preventive approach, focused on delivering superior customer satisfaction.
The shift to IFS Cloud marks a pivotal moment for Anticimex as it strives to standardize its service processes across various operational areas. This platform provides the scalability needed to meet future growth targets and supports the company's commitment to long-term sustainability through increased digitalization. The company had already been utilizing IFS's Planning Scheduling Optimization (PSO) solution since 2019, which was instrumental in their decision to migrate to the cloud version, allowing for continued integration of advanced Industrial AI capabilities.
Utilizing the IFS Mobile Work Order app and Advanced Forms, the IFS Cloud will streamline service operations, leading to faster response times and reduced operational complexities. These improvements are set to enhance customer satisfaction by ensuring that services are executed promptly and efficiently. In addition, the cloud-based system is expected to benefit critical business functions outside of field service, such as finance and supply chain management, further consolidating services under one versatile platform.
Anticimex's CEO, Alexander Storckenfeldt, emphasized the importance of the upgrade. He noted, "By moving to IFS Cloud, we will be able to continue developing our company, improving the customer journey and allowing us to deliver expert service effectively. This upgrade also enhances our internal processes, making them more efficient while improving the quality of service we offer to our clients."
The implementation of IFS Cloud will allow Anticimex to keep pace with innovation through regular updates, ensuring they remain at the forefront of preventive pest control solutions. Ann-Kristin Sander, Managing Director of IFS Nordics, reiterated their commitment, stating, "We are proud to support Anticimex in achieving a more integrated and efficient operational model, enabling them to deliver high-quality services with a stronger focus on customer value."
Anticimex, established in 1934, has positioned itself as a leading expert in pest control, hygiene solutions, and property inspections internationally, serving in 21 countries worldwide. By transitioning towards a more digital service offering with the IFS Cloud, Anticimex sets a new standard in the industry, driving innovation and responding effectively to customer needs in an ever-evolving market. The focus on preventive measures and sustainable practices underscores their commitment to creating healthier environments for both businesses and individuals. Through this technical upgrade, Anticimex aims to solidify its leadership in the pest control sector while ensuring customer satisfaction remains paramount as they continue to revolutionize their service delivery models.
