Quanta Services Australia Embraces IFS Cloud for Streamlined Growth and Efficiency

In a significant move aimed at consolidating its systems and enhancing operational efficiency, Quanta Services Australia (QSA) has announced its decision to implement IFS Cloud—an innovative AI-powered ERP solution. As a leading provider of specialized infrastructure services in energy, resources, and renewables, QSA is poised to optimize its operations by transitioning to a unified platform that supports its extensive growth ambitions.

Addressing the Need for Change

QSA's decision to opt for IFS Cloud comes at a crucial juncture in its journey. The company was managing multiple platforms across its service areas, many nearing the end of their life cycle. This complexity hindered its efficiency, prompting the need for a comprehensive solution that would streamline operations and ensure accurate data management. By migrating to IFS Cloud, QSA aims to establish a single, reliable source of data that can be easily accessed across all its divisions.

The new system is expected to enhance various functional areas including project management, financial oversight, asset management, procurement, supply chain logistics, and human capital management (HCM). This unified approach will allow QSA to standardize its operations, reduce technical intricacies, and drive its expansion into asset and service management.

A Platform Built for Future Growth

Michael Watson, Chief Information Officer at QSA, emphasized the multifaceted benefits of adopting IFS Cloud. “Choosing IFS Cloud was about more than just consolidating our systems; we needed a platform that offers financial transparency, operational efficiency, and a strong technological backbone to support our evolving business,” he explained.

Watson also praised the platform's capability to link transactions seamlessly, providing robust financial control. He noted that this alignment with the company’s business model empowers them to maximize value for their customers and respond dynamically to market changes. With IFS Cloud, QSA is ready to tackle the challenges of today while setting a solid foundation for tomorrow’s growth.

Expert Guidance Through Implementation

In addition to the IFS Cloud deployment, QSA will benefit from IFS Customer Success services, providing expert support throughout the implementation phase. This engagement framework promises to help QSA crystallize its objectives into actionable outcomes, ensuring a smooth transition to the new system.

Warren Zietsman, Managing Director of IFS Australia New Zealand, expressed enthusiasm about partnering with QSA. “We are delighted to support QSA in modernizing their operations. The IFS Cloud platform is specifically designed to replace outdated systems, thereby enhancing operational transparency. This advancement will enable QSA to manage its processes more effectively and maintain agility in a fiercely competitive sector,” he noted.

Looking Ahead

QSA anticipates leveraging IFS Cloud fully by 2025, with plans to extend its implementation across various operating units by 2026. This transition not only marks a pivotal shift in how QSA conducts business but also signals its commitment to innovation and sustainability within the infrastructure sector.
